Hope that got your attention, Theymos.
I respect that you made me a merit source even though I did not ask to be one. I'm trying to give merits to the lower ranks (Newbie-Sr. Member), but I'm always falling short of sMerits. Always. And I've earned quite a few sMerits from my own posts, and those are all gone now too.
I would absolutely love to give something like 5 merits to a great post, but as it stands I feel like I have to use my sMerits in an ungenerous, miserly, ass-squeaking, and niggardly way. Can you please, please, please up the amount of sMerits I get? If you take a look at my meriting history, you can see what I'm talking about. I give them out in dribs and drabs and I'd like to be able to give them out more liberally.
Got no idea how merit-givingly active I am in comparison to other merit sources, nor do I hear any other merit source complaining about their monthly source allotments, so I don't care if you increase any other merit source's monthly sMerit number. I just want more so I can give out more. I would respectfully ask you to consider my request, and I thank you in advance for doing so.
wow!!! what a liberal mindset in the forum. Your are a merit source, you finished your allocation of merits of the month within two to three weeks or below for the masses (lower ranks) and you still want to help more. If you become a politician, your ward, constituency, state and country will really be happy because we don't have such politician in the world. I have said it in one of my comment on your post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5410264.0 that you are a liberal and progressivist scholar. It is only those who are from the social science field would understand what I mean. This your request is very good and I also want to make a suggestion which other users has also made before. If Theymos has not responded to your request. Other merit sources can help you out by meriting the threads and the post you want to merit. I also believe a merit source told you to send the post you want to merit to him so he can also merit them. I was trying find out the comment but I could not again.
As it is, i know you are not happy for seen a good post and you don't have merit to give. I understand your feeling. I am also begging other merit sources to help our humble liberal merit source. Please permit me to address you
THE LIBERAL MERIT SOURCE in my generation.
