Looking at the smerits you've given already, you're definitely not worthy of being a merit source. Merits should be given to good posts, not to your buddies.
The posts you quoted in your op look nothing like the ones you usually reward.
Plus you're in red.

its very difficult for sending merit all over when your not a merit source .... its normal, he will be given a bit more to people that he like's, and get some in return of them.... when your not a merit source and you have a few "buddy's" to give and get merit from makes it more possible to merit a few other and new people afterwards as well, otherwise its just not easy .... maybe thats why the guy trying to be a merit source for having an oppertunity of giving merit to a wider audience
the red tag offcourse is another story ......
even strange my trust is 0-0 .... how does it works.... i have created some freeroll games in the past and doing some @ this time, where there is only me sending BTC to a winner and i have always payed correct, isn't that a bit of TRUST worthy? but i don't be bothered to much by it....
