I am now a source the best way for me to be neutral is to look at a list of names of jr to newbie and read posts.
I now have a list and have decided to pass on the first 2 people on the list.
I do have a concern about people selling merits. 0.0010 is cheaper then 0.0020 for copper purchase. I am not selling merits I am reading posts on the list I have been given.
But My concern would be other sources will sell that 1 merit for 0.0010 btc.

They'd be risking red trust if they do that. More likely some old/hacked accounts could engage in such sales.
How would that be much of a deterrent? Wouldn't that actually be good advertising for someone's merit selling business? I always thought the punishment for selling merit as a merit source would be to get stripped of the privilege and perhaps a ban on the account.
Edit: Now that I think about it though, I guess someone would have to be really bad at covering their tracks in order to have a sufficient case for the staff to implement such measures.
