I hate to say it, but once in a while I do run into an objectively bad post that you've merited perhaps a bit too eagerly (just being honest; it doesn't happen often and I'll dig up an example if you like).
I appreciate your candor, and I'm sure I've merited posts that others wouldn't think twice about skipping over. The whole point of my offer was to help members who are at least putting some effort into their posts, even if they're not the most informative, insightful, or well-written. And believe me, I've had to tell quite a few people that their entire post history wasn't up to my standards.
Thanks to those who've dropped some merits on me, but please don't; even with what I've received since starting this thread and giving away
all of the sMerits I had about a half hour ago, there are still roughly 14 members in line for reviews--and that's on top of all the members who'll still need reviews in their next 30-day cycle (which I can't even promise I'll get to).
I will do my best from here on out to distribute merits to the people who've regularly been PMing me, and hopefully I've still got their PMs. If you've been requesting reviews for at least 3 months and are due for a review, please message me just in case. To the rest, I apologize sincerely for an offer that I'm unable to fulfill--and I mean that. I feel terrible that members who PMed me last month still haven't had a review because I simply don't have enough sMerits.
Give your thoughts to Theymos, because at this point it's out of my hands.
