We've only 1 LB merit source and that's our moderator Igebotz, I don't know where you're seeing the handful from, I still stand to be corrected though.
It’s surprising that you don’t know the Naija local board has 2 merit boards, which are Igebotz and Cryptobrainboss. Although we have a lot of quality posts in the LB, and I can say we need more merit circulating in the board to keep people more active and providing more educative content in the LB, one thing is sure: regardless of how we post quality, not all posts will be merited. So that is why sometimes it is considerable. I believe if there is more merit, like other boards, merit will be circulated more than it is currently.
