Today I just visited meta board and saw
this topic and some old question in my mind araise once again that-
We know that forum has total 109 merit sources and as this
info total Smerit generation of up to 32990 in a month. So questions is-
-Are all merit sources have same smerit generation?
-Another question is once a merit source can be a lifetime merit source? Or is it also pick and drop system like DT¹
member election?
I've not been too conversant with the meta board as well. I literally can't detail so about merit sources as you just did but if I can get involved with my little ideal on your question, I think merits are generated from the same source and which is then allocated to each merit source forum member to distribute the merits accordingly.
The Merit source forum member who distributes the merits to the deserved quality posts are usually reputable users who has gained a lot of trusts while participating in the forum. It's usually by personal delegate then the aurhory probably to the recognition of Thymos would approve a suitable candidate for it.
