One thing I have observed per the given out of this precious merit is that most people award this merit on the basis of "whom you know or who knows you". Just a few people are going by the actual brain or principle behind the institution of this merit policy. A lot of people with the merit source just share the merit among themselves forgetting about the intended purpose. At times, you could see that a certain post deserves to be rewarded because of its importance to the forum members but the otherwise happened.
You must have forgotten an attachment with your e-mail. I don't see any observations or other support for your claim. In fact
data indicates pretty much the opposite - many sources merit
hundreds of users, which can't conceivably be all "among themselves" because there are only 120 merit sources total.
Also your claim about a certain deserving post lacks a link.
I have sent you 15 negative merits for wasting my time. Don't do that again.
