Great suggestion! Merit sources for a board shouldn’t be members of that same board. Instead, they should be assigned to different local boards, especially now that translations work effectively.
A lot of nuances are lost in translation making it ineffective for grading the quality of posts. Someone who is not a member of that board is also disconnected from happenings in that region meaning it will take them an extra effort to follow discussions and discover which is worthy of merit.
A bad idea if you ask me.
