Problem is a few of you, who pop up every year to try to get control of the thread after a short stint of regular posting. I am just disgusted with you, who received Merit from me on multiple occasions in the Bangladesh thread itself, but never thought of returning the favor. It is not that no one returned the favor. Some did and that topped up my sMerit to get redistributed in the thread itself.
Am I understanding you correctly that you expect people to "pay back" the merit you sent to them in the Bangladesh local board?  If that's the case, there's no way in hell you should be a merit source.  In fact, that's akin to wanting a kickback--and that's shady behavior in itself, regardless of whether you're a source or not.

Members in your local section should be circulating their merits, yes, but that doesn't mean they should be favoring any members who sent them merits. 

From looking at the data Rikafip presented, it would appear that the Bangladesh section isn't very active at all and probably doesn't need a dedicated merit source (unless it was a member with a relatively low allocation of sMerits).  I'm sure some of the members cross post in the English section and earn merits there, which can then be used to reward members in the Bangladesh board.  That's what's probably going to have to happen, as I doubt Theymos is going to tap anyone as a merit source specifically for that section--unless it was a member like Little Mouse, who'd make a good source in general IMO.
