Massive thanks for the update! It's always an interesting read.
Something strange happened in Indian board as they somehow managed to have 55% percent of posts that receive at least 1 merit which is the highest percentage I saw so far, esepcially since their usual number is much lower and it its around 20%. It would be interesting to hear someone from that board how they managed to achieve that and is their post quality increased that much or something else caused it. At the same time, polsih is not that far ahead but it is kinda normal for less active boards to have higher percentage of merited posts.
As for the Polish board, we made quite a big jump in all merit-related stats. This is largely due to
this post, in which me and other members of the Polish section received large amounts of merits earmarked for the purpose of spending them on our board. Combined with a drop in active members and posts, this converts to higher ratios.
