Do you actually take the time to check out different boards to give merit if you truly wanted to? Don’t pretend like you care.
I don't "check out boards", I read this forum. You're the one who opened this topic, so where's that long list of Merit-deserving Newbie posts you care so much about?
Are you feeling guilty because this issue really should be taken seriously by merit sources? If you’re a merit source, I’m sure there are some boards you’re more interested in.
Which boards do you focus on? Let me check your merit history if you are a merit source. I know Theymos probably doesn’t have time to look into these things.
Perhaps I don't think I've received any merits from this user but at least I have seen several times he awards merits to post especially technically oriented posts and perhaps such post can not be a common sense post because it surely have to be a well known experience to be discussed.
