I tried observe fillippone in this thread Re: [Merit] Share your best topics with Fillippone to be merit assessed and i understand that the total number of users both senior colleagues and newbies submitting application of replies and new created thread to be merited is much, despite that the thread was created by fillippone to help people from different countries to rank up to new ranks, i think it needs helping hands of other merit sources and other users who always earn a merit help and merit some of qualify application of users who applied there.

If you look closely to each merit source we have on the forum, everyone of them have their own unique way of making their own contributions to see that merits flow accordingly throughout the forum on post deserving it, know that to merit someone is not by force but by choice, take a look at how LoyceV, Ratimov, JayJuanGee, Ddmrddmr, The Sceptical Chymist, NotATether among others administer their respective merits pattern to be different from each other, fillippone may decides to adjust his requirements for application maybe to ranks, amount of merits needed to rank up among other criterials in short or put it open for other merits sources to assist but i believe they all have enough to attend to on their own threads as well and only few may have some left by the end of the month.

I will say that it's good to have more numbers of this kind of thread of merited posts or ranking up merit thread In the forum because it will help growing many others,

Also come to think of it this way that some members members will take it as their right to receive merit even when they aren't deserving for it because they giver has to be the one to decided wether their post has enough informative ideas that could make it deserves being merited, maybe sooner or later Theymos may take the go for making an additional number of merits source to make it more easier.

These are good points, I am so particular about this topic and the reply given since they reveal those who could be worth celebrating as merit sources. What I could simply conclude is that among many merit sources created by Theymos, only a few of them deserves it, it's all obvious, and maybe he can make some adjustments soon. This is evident with the way they dispense their allocations and how dedicated to reading uniquely or randomly

To me, merit is so important to rank up in this forum, no good posters should find it hard to get, but it's often saddening when the posters that are so worth it is being denied due to low levels of review by those saddled with the responsibility. While some only have their preferences to merit and neglect other good posters deliberately.
