There are also merit sources receiving only 10 sMerits per month, which isn't exactly helping to solve the problem.
I don't know who are you talking about. I would appreciate you if there was a statement.
However, currently,
There are 119 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 22045 sMerit per 30 days
The avg is- 185 although it depends on spending sMerits. I think most of the merit sources are active and they are spending their sMerits regularly. More sources are needed for only some specific local boards, otherwise, we do have sufficient sources, IMO.
Don't forget to calculate the amount in total-
22045+11022+............ for every 2 merits, we are getting 1 sMerits. Therefore, it's also our duty to spend sMerit regularly on good quality posts for ensuring a more stable situation so that newbies or other members can't complain.
