Yeah it's nice to see Indonesian board among most merited ones as you are very active board. I do think that you still have a loot of room for improvement despite this increase as when i started making these overviews almost 2 years ago, you had pretty much similar amount of posts (~1200) and something like 50% more merits shared than you had last month. Then again, I have no idea whether post quality remained the same like it was before.
The number of posts may be the same as last month but the improvement in post quality has allowed some users to get more merit from both merit source or non-merit source. There was an increase in the number of merit senders and merit recipients during January compared to December regardless of the reasons for qualifying to join the campaign or indeed starting to realize that merit was needed to rank up.
Ratimov quite often helps some of the users there too by send some of the merit on different user apps in a
thread that I moderate, then I also started to notice that JayJuanGee is starting to help us with some of its merit. It's great when I can bring more of you (merit source) to the Indonesian Local Board to help increase the number of merit distributions on eligible posts each month even though in the end my application for merit source was not accepted.
