Is merit spending becoming more and more scarce lately?
I couldn't surely be the only one noticing this. Most of the time, I find posts worth meriting, but I can't, because in most cases I have zero sMerits, something that was rare to me in the past. I know about reporting them to some threads, but it gets tiring if I can't even have 1 sMerit every other time I see a post.
Not that I am a perfect merit earner or poster. I am just an average member and from this perspective, to me, it seems there has either been;
A. Depletion of spendable merits among members like me due to low merit circulation.
B. A drop in the number of active merit sources.
C. A drop in forum activity.
Could some folks please help us with the stats? @LoyceV, @DdmrDdmr @tranthidung
Theymos could you please look into this? I don't remember the last time you approved new merit sources.
I can bet to this that there had been forum users who had have the thought to make this post but because of sanction conciousness they decided to die it within themselves. So, I appreciates you @logfiles for taking the bold step. I also hope I wouldn't earn sanctioned for commenting on this thread as a just common member ranks I'm and also with the fact that it's my first time posting in this board. 🙏.
Meanwhile there had been curious newbies who had been lamenting so earnestly about how they had been unable to earn merits on their posts. Although I'm not defending to say the newbies are right because a deserve constructed post would always earn merits which I keep urging the mates to keep up doing to their best in contributing helpful post to the forum's.
So I hope the alarm of @logfiles would be put to considerations as he's speaking the mind of many forum users.
