Honestly I have taking some time to go across this our board and I have actually seen some posts wey make sense but did not receive any merit.
Let's be honest if person take out time to make good post and the post actually make sense it can serve as an encouragement to that person if they get at least a merit as a sign of recognition.

Cases like this was why I created the unmerited post thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5506090.320 because there are chances that I may not come across more than 30% of posts daily due to our activities. The thread was to serve as my third eyes for others to report unmerited good posts I missed, but the thread was turned into a spam reporting. It's locked till I find a solution to it.

Secondly - we have the activities, but unfortunately the post quality hasn't been the same, I barely come across good posts these days and sometimes I'm forced to rollover my monthly allocation.

Lastly, if the community starts giving out merits organically to good posts, we would have enough merits - the board generates average 600-800 sent Smerits per month. I generate 10-20 unmerited good posts on this board monthly without a single merit. I'm also affected. Lol  Grin
 
It's not an easy responsibility to be a merit source on a board with lots of active members and I understand your position in, I actually did not have an idea of how many merit source we had but creating a post like this had really helped me understand the situation.
No one can hold you responsible because I myself I have received some merit from you on the board. And yes we need to start focusing on building the forum organically and within the rules. It is not a one man effort but a collective effort.
Our moderator needs some accolades for his relentless efforts and commitment here. The job is really a tasky one and he is doing quite well, I'm a benefactor of his benevolence, I only think more merit sources added here can help lighten his burden and Yes, merit distribution is a collective process and not only left for the two merit sources alone. I believe we still need to increase the quality of posts here too so as to easily entice the merit sources or any other person to reward those posts.

I think making the next version a self-moderated thread can help so you can delete worthless posts from there and also limiting the frequency of submitting posts to once a week per user can help sanitize that place too.
