no one recognizes their efforts, the senior members almost bypass and refuse all contributions.
No, the real effort will be recognized. Look here：
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5020761.0there are still many members who can get 10+ mercits within 1 month.
And look here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3048258.0many senior members have created many threads giving Merits.
That really is a very unfair thing and so I think merit should be offered more and more, instead of being as dripping as the present, if I say wrong, hopefully you'll ignore me when I'm just a useless newbie.
I guess it will add the merit source, it is very likely that the merit source has been added.
