Some posts are not awarded merit for various reasons; one of them could be that the merit sources we currently have in the LB do not have sufficient merit at that point to distribute or award to all the posts they deemed merit-worthy.
Another reason can be that the post you think of and consider as merit-worthy may not be merit-worthy to the merit sources, and it is within their rights to distribute the merits at their discretion.
More merit sources are, of course, needed, but the argument to get that should never be that the already existing merit sources we have in this LB are being biased in distribution because that will be false, or that they are ignoring some merit-worthy post.
More merit sources are needed to be able to meet up with the demand. Nigerians are active and deserving of merits.
I think it should be more of your first statement and I that instead of requesting for more merit sources that might not likely be considered by Theymos, we should channel our energy into appealing that he should increase the merit of our merit sources, our merit sources are working hard when it comes to giving our merits, but it really obvious that they need more merits to give out since our board is getting larger.
Nigeria LB is filled with many good posters, infact we're representing well in this forum and it's due to our good contributions with quality posts, however we can do more better and improve in our quality cause since the merit is scarce, more quality in your post would attract a merit source to merit you.
Anyways if Theymos notice any appeal for more merit sources and decide to grant the request then it's still for the benefits of our board so I won't be against that.
