⭐ Merited by JayJuanGee (1)
My three posts on the first page have been updated again.
The analysis spotted another two merit sources:
1) Barcode_ (moderator of the chinese local board)
2) F2b (active in the french local board)
And it was a big one, 1000 sMerits worth - the total went down from 23045 to 22045:

I'm gonna guess it was QuestionAuthority.
QuestionAuthority has confirmed that theymos removed him as a merit source:
Undoubtedly, QuestionAuthority has a specific merit distribution policy.
Typically, he sends 20-30 merits in one transaction. His following post could probably be "the straw that broke the camel's back type":
As I can see, he didn't send any merit since Oct 11, 2018.

Here's a piece of potential gossip.
It appears that within the past day or two, the number of merit sources has gone down from 120 to 119.

Apologies to all concerned, I will no longer be handing out merit in this thread. Theymos removed me as a merit source because he disagreed with the way I spent my merit. I will leave this thread open and you can continue to post merit requests here if you like; however, I wont be answering them.
Good luck to all.

but anyhow, assuming that the merit source removal was QA, unless theymos shared his rationale, none of us would really know if there may have been a multitude of factors (besides just the seemingly random WO thread give away), and the one incident (or handful of incidents that we might be able to identify) would have merely served as marginal facts (the straw that broke the camel's back type) to push theymos into such a merit source removal decision (again assuming that it was QA).

Oh, I am going to do one thing before I sign off for now. Since most people are off work/school today because its the weekend, and there should be more people on line than during the week and I have too much merit laying around, the next 5 people to respond to this thread get 30 merit.
