But merit misuse is so many these days especially in the Wall Observer BTC/USD (Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion)

I think you have no idea about the WO culture.

AFAIK that thread is where the real bitcoiners (to say the least, you may find fudsters there too) are lurking and it is the real thing in this forum. You're complaining that posts there aren't worthy to be merited but have you spent even an hour of your forum hours there and see what they've really got there? If not then you should do. Mind me you'll feel the hatters.

Yes, have spent a lot of time there and sometimes their conversation on there is off-topic and ever someone who's not in their circle there make a right post he's somehow ignored.

You should understand one thing, not every good post is going to be merited yes this is unfair but that is the reality of our world as well not everyone has the same kind of life. So just do what you are doing and let the merits come at you.

If campaign managers are selecting participants based on merits alone then this is wrong and not much-reputed bitcoin signature campaign managers were doing this.

What actually brings out this subject was a user of this forum that applied for a campaign and expected to be selected due to the amount of merit he earned. I went through his posts, all i can see for almost more than a week duration post was one-liners messages.

what are the forum mods doing about all this?

Nothing. Awarding merit is not moderated, the mods don't have time or the inclination to deal with that as a headache. Also, awarding merit is subjective, every one who has received merit can give away their sMerit anyway they wish, within reason. I'm not a merit source, but I can only assume the same holds true for them. No body is looking over the merit source's shoulder to make sure they are giving merit to the "right posts."

Then there's this:

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me.

Understood. This is not complain about amount but the purpose of the merit scheme and if we will look at it carefully the merit system which was actually created to improve quality posts have failed.
