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.
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.
The fact that I have experience this discretion of Theymos. If someone makes a quality post I'm 100% sure fillippone can dump 100 merits on such post because I'm a first hand testimony to that. As long as the post is direct and provides help then instead of letting your merit source to expire fillippone will dump it on a post.
I have known Fillippone to be the most Generous merits giver after JayJuanGee and has also maintained what Theymos said. Of course if they can be able to do that then there will be need for others to give out to post they found quality enough as well, without leaving the whole work on the merits source. Being a merits source doesn't mean they must hold back their allocations to expire on them before the month runs out, giving 50 merits at a go doesn't cost them anything rather it's helping them to reduce the task on them because those people will definitely give out to othe quality post out there, through that their loads reduces.
infact if theymos most do that i wouldn't mind suggesting him to increase those who their allocations are very small and then remove those who are not active on the forum for about 3-8 plus.
They do not need to remove merit source to increase the allocation of other merit source, it is better to have more merit source instead.
What is the usefulness of the merit source who has been absent from the forum for 3-8 months? Perhaps you didn't read that.
And if at all such comes back and is still willing to be a merit source, he should reapply, in my opinion. It's now left for theymos to decide if he is still worthy.
I read and understood what was posted but you did not understand what I posted at all. I only quoted Perfectbaby that theymos does not need to increase the merit allocation of the existing merit source, that we need new merit source. I am not saying theymos should not remove inactive merit source. Read what I wrote again for you to understand.
Yes you are right and that's what you said if he could revisit your comment above, I think he didn't comprehend your comment correctly before he responded to your comment, and it's obvious that most people do misunderstood people for what they don't know or have idea on. If theymos increase more merits source it would also help out people to reach more post that are deserving merits, let say if theymos can each local board 2 more merits source it will to increase the growth of every locales.
