This problem is solved by expanding your merit distribution area (if you have time, of course).

And that's a big part of the problem--I don't have the time to go scanning a wide array of sections searching for good posts. I just don't have the time or even the interest to read threads in certain sections--and since I don't speak more than one language, all the local boards are ruled out.

I'm glad I'm able to distribute as many merits as I do, and I wish more members would hit me up when I offer to do post history reviews, because I encourage that.

Here, either increase the average amount per post or spend more time looking for posts in other sections. I think that in the future this trend will continue and each merit source will stop at a value that is comfortable for him, which he is able to adequately distribute.

Giving more merits per post isn't a bad strategy at all, IMO. That's something I couldn't do before my sMerit allocation got upped, because I'd easily run out if I gave more than 3 merits for a decent post.
