I'm not familiar with ThemePen, his posts, or his merit-giving history other than what was shown here but I agree.
Pakistanis on this forum should still consider themselves lucky as they have
shahzadafzal. I do not think theymos is thinking of increasing the merit source for now. I sent him a message few days ago but he has the habit of not replying to messages which is very annoying. I will say good luck to ThemePen, but he should not expect anything except theymos wants to add more merit sources. I do not think there is exceptional cases until then. Nigeria is the third highest local board posters. On the statistics he posted in the OP, Nigeria is the second highest poster on local board in that month, but theymos is not considering that but we have support from posters that are not Nigerians. We have many good posts that are not given merit that I see almost all the time. Probably ThemePen may be experiencing what I am experiencing. But it is important to know that it is just a forum. But it is always surprising me that 98 or 99% of my merits are still from English board posters because I am lazy to be submitting my posts on local board merit giveaway thread. I am not insinuating that the giveaway to quality posts is not good.
