I am thinking of these 3 people:
The responsibility of a local merit source is a bit tiresome. He/she does not only regularly read posts made by local members who are by the hundreds, but also assesses them whether or not they are deserving of a merit. It is not enough that you have found a single great post and give it a merit, because it could be that it may be a good post but way out of the topic being discussed, or perhaps a great post but not really responding to what the OP is asking. So you will have to go through the entire conversation, if possible. Moreover, a lot of posts are great but if you try to scroll up, they are merely based on a post/s already made by someone else, merely paraphrased. They do not deserve even a single merit for me however great their posts appear.
It is also much preferable that a merit source is also one who is posting well-informed, constructive, and on-topic posts himself. Otherwise, it is very ironic or even unacceptable that a merit source is also a poor and arrogant poster.
And so I think it is best if such responsibility is shared by more than one merit source. The names I mentioned above are obviously quality posters. But of course I'm not sure if they are open to accept such burden, except crwth because he himself applied for it.
Don't get offended, my friend. This is all for the betterment of our board.
I agree that the posts which are worth giving merits to are very few. Sometimes, visiting the local board is even sad because the last post you read when you leave is still the same last post you are reading when you get back after several hours. There are only a handful of hot threads as well.
Where have all the Pinoys gone?

I can say I'm pretty effective...
