In case of our local board, circulation of Merit is getting decreasing very much.
I think this is a general trend across the forum which could also be directly related to the quality of posts in the threads. Merit sources are looking for those posts that standout and contribute to good topic discussions.
At the moment, I am not sure whether it is better for Merit Source to actively distribute the merit or not, but I think circulation of Merit is important for each local board to be more active and more helpful ideas come.
Well definitely it would be ideal if merits could be distributed to all members that contribute on the forum. However, we all know with the increase in signature campaigns and bounties there's also been a increase in new members and low quality spam posts. So merit sources will only reward members that actually contribute quality content and help keep the forum useful to projects, developers, and investors alike.
