that means you could have at least 1358 sMerits (excluding source).
3990With such amount, i agree you're likely in 1st position
. After all, there are very few member who receive more than 7980 merits.The only problem is not lack of quality and merit worthy posts. Amidst low quality posts, there are still posts which cross the average benchmark that ought to receive merits. The problem could be that most of our merit sources have high standards for giving out merits and it's rare for their standards to be met by an average forum user.
Merit sources are human. They can't see and be all over the place ready to merit anything and everything that deserves it. Don't forget that it's a manual task, you can't automate it.--snip--
In addition, admin doesn't pay them while AFAIK admin pay moderator.
