Most of my merits receive are from beginners & Help section. I thought that Beginners & Help section is one of the merited section in the forum but the data from statistics presented were really not. I was a bit surprised for the result. Anyway, following the trends here of most merited posts are usually coming from users tha are contributing mostly for the forum so it is expected that merits circulation here would be greater compare to other sections. This is somewhat a motivation to users here in this section to continue being helpful by contributing posts that could be essential or substantial as a reference in the future.
Statisctics are usually given few merits for it is a load of work and lots of analysis to do. It may be easier for the statisticiam here but for us the average users may find it difficult at the same time interesting from acquiring data and its analysis.
Merit source are also active here to get updates and information or it could also be that merit source could easily spot posts here that could be merited compared to other section with thousands of spam posts from bounty hunting. Spotting to merit a post their would be really difficilult and lot of work to do. Merit source would think that it is better to give the merits here to users that could help them reward the merits in other sections.
The meta section is all about us on how to become helpful and contribute to the forum. All ideas were always being shared here for the betterment of the forum. Issues and arsing major problems about the forum usually discuss here and users share valuable thoughts regarding with issues likely to get merits. It is rightful that meta should have more merits circulated compared to other sections.
