I also beleive this thread did not intend to throw some light on the useful forum discussions and sound like more of appreciation of the merit sources which we have seen in many self congratulatory threads in the past where members ranking up thanks each merit source for helping them but it's attempt to gain more merits and it is deemed to be of low quality on the forum.
Firstly, I discovered that some merits sources who also have good amounts of merits earned are denied of merits (maybe unintentionally) by other members of the forum.
This is not clear to me as you are saying they have earned lot of merits meanwhile you are saying they are denied merits by other members so how do they earn them? If you see the merit sources also earn lot of merits by high rank,low rank and merit sources for the post they make and i didn't doubt about it.Sometimes they also exchange merits with each other but eventually it's distributed on the forum in the end helping members to rank up.
The unmentioned reasons could be that;
- They have enough merits, any need of wasting more on them?
Will talk about only one merit source in this case and he is @Pharmacist and he is the one who has helped many of us to rank up to higher ranks and his style is familiar by those who get merits from him and whenever you send him back he will say not to merit himself but help other good posts on the forum and make them rank up.So you can't say they don't get it as you see most of the sources have good amount of merits earned also with their posts.
There is a thread to report unmerited good posts, I hardly see posts of merit sources reported there. It therefore means that all good posts from merit sources have received cool amounts of merits (irony).
The similar thread is created by @LoyceV for helping the members who are unnoticed and didn't have enough merits for the good post they have made by the
merit source particularly
It's been suggested before, and
khaled0111 suggested it again
today: a possibility for users to report good unmerited posts to Merit Sources.
You see merit sources usually get merits for the post they have made as you can see the most of them are active on all main boards so they are known by all but low rank members sometimes went unnoticed but this thread helps to aim them.[/list]
