Sources shouldn't be pressured into giving more than they think is right. If Theymos wants more, then he needs more sources.
Some people feel that way. I'm in the middle and can feel for both sides.
I definitely don't feel pressured, and I didn't even ask to be a merit source to begin with.
I still haven't figured out how the source merits get replenished. It seems like I'm chronically out of them, and if it weren't for Foxpup giving me all those merits (I still can't figure out why he's given me so many), I wouldn't have been able to disperse as many as I have been. Right now I'm out of source sMerits and earned sMerits. Fortunately I did find a Jr. Member in the Economics section who wrote a fairly thoughtful
post that I merited, but I think I'd do a better job as a merit source if I got more source merits. Then I might be able to give out 5 at a time or something like that. As it stands, there's no way I could do that with what I've got.
