I meant maybe is better to give less to legendary and more to lower ranks, I also give merits to legendary but maybe is better give a 1 merit instead 2 to legendary (especially if merit sources) and 2 instead 1 to lower ranks.

I sort of try to do that when handing out merits, though usually I give merits out one at a time just out of habit. My source sMerits aren't getting replenished as fast as I figured they'd be, so I've been using up my own supply of sMerits lately.

Some sources must be afk or have lost the interest on this reward system.

Just speaking for myself, of course, but I haven't lost interest at all. It's just that I haven't been very motivated lately to visit sections like Economics and go through posts there. I also wanted to check out Bitcoin Discussion, too, but since I know that's going to be an exercise in frustration I've been putting it off.

The problem remains as it's always been: there aren't enough posts worthy of merits, especially by lower-ranked members, and it's a pain in the ass to find the good stuff. Good posts are the middle piece of meat in a World Trade Center-sized spam sandwich in most threads in those sections I mentioned.

And I was just about to give a Newbie a merit earlier today, and guess what? His post was plagiarized. It was Mister99 in case anyone is interested. So there's always that problem to deal with. It's a lot more work than you'd think to be a conscientious merit source.
