I had to quote it completely so you see it yourself that he once actually said such just to clarify a situation that once aroused.
If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.
I think this thread shouldn't be a separate one, don't you think it belongs to the thread you referenced? instead of creating a different discussion thread.
Thank you for quoting that topic and I have been looking for it. Like he said if this is happening then I don't think there is any reason to accept more merits source because if such a huge dump is made they could also see users around them who needs it to for either their next ranking or for it not to expired as he said. I can take myself for example; We could have two source dump 100 to the op and he can actually share across the post that doesn't receive merits for their quality post. I think it's from here people are getting it too hard for them because most people do not usually exhausts their allocations before renewals.
