I believe, he is already doing this, he follows a lot of users, especially those, who are members of the signature campaigns he manages. But of course with the opportunities if a merit course he would be able to do more, appreciate more quality users and motivate them to to their best here in the forum. I think he has a decent understanding of who deserves merits. And this is exactly the quality that the merit source needs.

Yes, he's a quite good and active guy who gives enough time to this forum and read some good posts of the members that are part of signature campaigns that he manages, not only those members but all the members who make good posts are noticed by him. I think he highly deserves to be a merit source and I believe that once he becomes a merit source, he'll fulfill his responsibilities in the best way possible. i fully support his application and I believe Theymos should also consider his application.

If icopress is made a merit source, you can be very sure that merit distribution will be biased and influenced by icopress' business interests. There is no way that it will not be influenced by their business interests, and it would be naive to think that icopress will take an unbiased approach to merit distribution.

What a way to change your statement from favor of an application to against that application. I don't know what lead you to think that Icopress is no longer fit for a merit source position because to me it seems more like a personal issue rather than a genuine one. As far as I know, Icopress mostly give merits to the good posts only and he's not someone who would favor the ones who are in his best interest.

As a campaign manager he has the right to favor advertisers and deal with them professionally but that doesn't mean that after becoming a merit source he may send merits to the advertisers only so he can please them for his own best interests. That's a totally false statement against a reputed member like Icopress. I highly disagree with you in that regard and I believe that majority of the members will also disagree with you.
