You'd be doing me a huge favor if you made the same offer, believe me.  I don't mind all the requests I've gotten, it's just that my sMerit supply can't keep up with the demand, no matter how much I beg Theymos to increase it.  If another merit source dropped out as Coin-1 wrote, you'd think he might consider my request--but if not that, then I hope he adds another source. 

We've got members like LogitechMouse, who's been around since 2017 and obviously puts a lot of effort into his posts, stuck at Sr. Member because he's not earning enough merits.  If anyone is so inclined, I'd encourage them to browse his post history and give him a few merits.
