The picture is good, but words are indispensable. I would like to hear more clear reasons why you want to become a merit source without the standard reasons described above. What are your inner motivations?

There is no hidden/inner motivation in the fact that I just expressed my desire to be a merit source. The only motivation is to be in a position to give merits to anyone who deserves it.

Imagine that you are a candidate for President of America, and this forum is your potential voters. I would like to see your (applies to any candidates) election program (how you will contribute to the forum) and hear arguments to convince you to vote for you (although the decision to transfer you to merit sources depends on the forum administration).

If there was some official responsibility for the position called "merit source", then the answer would make sense, but it is known that no one who holds that position has any obligations in terms of how much merit they will share, at what time and in what way. My contribution to the forum is expressed through the statistics of shared merits, which are visible, or through the number of reports seen by moderators/admins.

Some will certainly not agree that I am a good choice for this position, but their silence will speak for itself in relation to the support they gave to other candidates. But that does not mean that I consider any of them as competition, on the contrary - those who applied before me should get a chance before me.

How will you be better than others?

I don't think I need or want to be better than others, as I already wrote, I don't consider this a competition. The merits system was set up to enable good members to progress, and to make it difficult for bad ones on the forum. This can only be achieved by working in a group, the individual is not too important.

Thanks for your support, and I hope you will be (at least somewhat) satisfied with the answers.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support in the meantime
