I think that's what sometimes happens, in some local boards. For some, the fact that they have difficulties in English does not motivate them to participate outside the local board of their language. If on your board, there are few sources of merits or no sources of merits, you may have a harder time leveling up.

Therefore, I congratulate the various sources of merit, who occasionally visit local boards (even when they don't know that language) in search of good topics/posts.
