I support this application.

As a campaign manager, icopress does a fantastic job in making sure advertisers get good value while participants are fairly paid. As a community member, I find it often that when I hit the "+Merit" button, icopress has done the same thing with high quality posts. I trust icopress to appropriately and responsibly use the power of being a Merit source to help reward users who are contributing impeccable quality content to the forum. Based on support and your profile icopress, I am sure it's a matter of when and not if. Good luck!

I retract this support.

Since supporting icopress, I have only noticed more and more that he is here to favor his own interests with advertisers and that the community is not truly first priority for him.

It is fine to make a business from bitcointalk. If you want to do that and prioritise the business over the community however, then you do not deserve to be a merit source.

If icopress is made a merit source, you can be very sure that merit distribution will be biased by icopress' business interests. It would be naive to think that icopress will take an unbiased approach to merit distribution.

There are many better members out there to support or to encourage to make an application for beinf a merit source over icopress.
