Icopress has been a member who has been making valuable contributions to the forum for a long time. Along with his being a campaign manager he is making a big contribution to gambling board as well. For this reason I'm supporting Icopress' application.
In fairness, icopress has been contributing across the forum. Without doubt he is a valuable member, that cannot be denied because his longevity and consistency has demonstrated. The member that has changed his opinion and no longer wants icopress to be merit source has a chequered history of dubious posts and behaviour therefore to give him any attention regarding this matter is probably not warranted.
Quite clearly, he has applied for campaigns managed by icopress and maybe was never selected therefore stopped applying, maybe that is his motivation. Anyway, I think regardless of the number of members that will support (or oppose) his application the final decision is/always was with theymos and if he looks at this thread he will see icopress has almost unanimous support.
In fact, to me the strongest proof that icopress will not misuse merits if given merit source status is that he earns merits at 5 times his activity and does not misuse them now.
This is an interesting statistic and what it means is if anything untoward happened with regards to icopress handing out merits, it would already have been mentioned/alleged in this thread.
