It has been a problem to maintain and check bitcointalk forum member's posts. Spams and so many posts that are not meaningful can best be seen by bounty manager. Thus it is good in my own analysis to make bounty managers as a merit source. Giving them the automatic sMerit value intended only to be given to the bounty hunters will probably give them the chance to promote only the deserving bounty hunters and allowing better opportunities for ranking up. This will also help the entire site to be checked constantly of posts that bounty hunters have created on the shortest time possible due to the direct access the BMs have over his bounty hunters. What do you think of this?

Bounty managers who don't do their job and pay spammers are the reason we have the Merit system. Making them merit sources would be just as bad as removing Merit entirely.
