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.

I understand that it may seem like you are not keeping a promise! But think about it: you are doing what you promised, within your capabilities. And that should not be criticized or devalued!
Now maybe I ask a broader question: Why are so many people asking for merits?
In the places where they post, aren't there other members with merits who recognize the work of these users?
I ask these questions, because I never asked anyone for merits, even sometimes I felt that I deserved them but I didn't have that opportunity.
Therefore, I think that those who ask should also be available to receive a no, either for not meeting the proposed criteria, or for lack of sMerit.
@The Pharmacist
Allow me a suggestion, which may lighten this weight on your conscience a little:
Why don't you create a monthly ceiling for the sMerit you have, publicly informing that you have this specific ceiling (you don't need to say how many) and then make the distribution you think is appropriate.
And if you receive more requests, for what you have to give, a simple reply informing you that the plafon has ended and for them to try again, may help to minimize the situation. I think everyone should understand this.
