Having said that, I'd actually not call merit source duties as their/a job, I think it's much better to say it's their own contributions to the forum.
I just go about my business of reading and writing posts and I merit the good ones I find in the threads and sub-boards I regularly visit. That's the simplest way to do it.
So far I have always succeeded in emptying my bags at the end of the month.
I know the source merits were recently increased for some users and some users complained of not receiving any increments from the thread I read (can't find the link anymore) now my question is what happens if you are unable to finish up your bag of merits for the month as a merit source does it decay or does it stay and keep adding up because I'm sure not all merit sources finish their quota at the end of the month, some don't even spend 20% of it at the end of the month. Is it true that merit decay occurs, or is it just a panic?
