But did you have to bump an eight month old thread for this??? You know you can start your own thread right....and those users mentioned are doing a tremendous job for themselves around the forum but without doubt am certain they know the procedure to follow when they are interested in becoming a merit source.

Is that a wrong thing to do? I was going through the regional thread and wanted to see more rewards for creating threads in local threads. My query and the point raised was not addressed, so thought of bringing it back to the front.

Nominate? Sounding like a government man right about now, merit sources are not nominated here, they apply for the job! Want to know more about this follow the link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2818350.0 YOU ARE WELCOME.

Yeah, it is worse than the government. They are arbitrarily chosen by the admin.

When people apply for Smerit, users of the forum generally support the user in the form of their affirmation in the thread. So in a way, they are nominating him or showing their support for his application.
