I really appreciate your efforts and I support your application being a part of OP local board I also saw many posts which deserve merits but but due to lack of merits there is no merits on that posts.
I hope administration will consider your application and soon we will have you as a merit source.
Not even this but many local boards must have the merit sources for local language speakers.
I think most campaigns pay for posts from local boards, right? So that's another reason for local board merit sources. That said, OP isn't exactly a long-time member, and the merits he has given out have been to a small number of individual members. If he were going to be a merit source, he ought to spread them out a lot wider if you know what I mean.
Yes you are right.
Yes he has small members in his given merit history but he is generous in giving merits. And the reason is lack of merits. And he given almost all the merits to the local board members.
