Dunno, maybe you are overthinking it, or setting standards way too high.
That used to be the case when theymos introduced the Merit system back in 2018, but after I returned from a short hiatus in 2019, I did lower my standards.
If you have troubles finding good posts that don't have enough merit, you might wanna check your board's
most merited posts and topics via @DdmrDdmr Merit dashboard, so maybe you can find some good posts that can be used for application. It's set at the last ~8 months, but you can adjust it as you see fit.
Thank you for that suggestion... It helped in adding two more to my list
[after I narrowed it down to the past couple of months], but it seems that the main issue is the activity on our local board
[unfortunately].
@crwth
I forgot to mention in my previous post to update the first post with the new ones
[might increase your chances of becoming one (assuming that theymos only checks the first post in such threads)].
- I've seen others have done it before while also adding a "changelog" at the bottom of the main post.
