So I'm happy to help worthy members rank up. It's just that when I'm browsing through threads, most of the posts I'd consider merit-worthy are being made by Legendary members. Don't know if anyone else agrees with that, but I guess everyone has different standards.
By the way, it isn't a question of whether I 'deserve' my monthly allocation of sMerits; it's a matter of whether I can unload all of them each month, and lately I haven't been doing that. I will strive to do better.
As a beneficiary from the times you did reviews, I would say you were instrumental to my scaling the ranks and was very open to everyone that applied at some point.
Am sure a lot of users would have felt a bit uneasy when you announced on your having to stop the reviews but, it’s understandably so. One can only imagine just how many of those pms that were coming in, how much you’ve got to read and what judgments you’ve got to give. I don’t see anything easy about that but, you did your bit and touched the accounts of many here.
Needless to say, you deserve a break from all that work and having to review logs of posts on several accounts. As one of the active merit source on the forum, I hope you don’t hand-in your position some day. Stay true Chymist.
OP, am sure you get your answers already. Nothing is permanent on the forum!
