If I am not wrong, I have read somewhere that a merit source also requested theymos to remove him from the merit source position, and I guess it was granted. We can guess who is a merit source based on their merit stats, but if someone is not active enough, we will never know if they are a merit source.

Anyways, I am unsure if my vouch/support is worth anything. But I believe Icopress is an established member with good knowledge about the forum and post quality. He is the perfect one when it comes to writing posts. His thread-designing sense is exceptional. You will barely find someone at his level with good design sense. I support Icopress application. I hope the admin will consider his application.
