Re: cryptofrka's Merit Source application - gambling boards
As I alluded to in the previous post, what would be the possible effect of having one merit source in the gambling board actively giving merits to quality posts versus say for example those that do not care for anything except spamming in order to meet their signature campaign quote?
What happens if you raise the number to say two or five merit sources. I created self-moderated threads in the gambling section to keep them legible and it has worked well because even though post numbers have dropped since I started deleting low quality posts and spam, it means those flooding with signature campaigns can go and do it somewhere else.
I am unsure if merit source alone will get the gambling boards to a better level, I think it self-moderated threads are already helping immensely in that process therefore merits would be an added component (not vice-versa).
I have seen others applying for merit source but cannot recall announcement from any member stating they had become merit source. Your is an application in a current long list, let us see how this will play out. Maybe you will receive that message soon
Nope, nothing yet. From experience that other applicants went through, I think you just eventually receive a message or you don't - depending on his decision
Let's also be honest - 1 merit source is far from enough to drastically improve the situation on the gambling boards.
Still, it would be a good small step forward for the betterment of the most active area of the forum.

The overwhelming consensus in the thread supports your application. Have you received any initial response from theymos yet?
