@Mia if you take this task, it will also pave way for you in your merit source application because if you can identify quality posts weekly, it also means you will make a good merit source.
Yes, as the board moderator, I will play a crucial role in determining who will be the next additional merit source, and the reporting thread will play a significant factor in my decision and how frequently the candidate sends merits to the board per post.
These would be some of my criteria for recommending the next merit source. Anyone with a keen eye for quality posts would be an excellent merit source too..
As the moderator, I believe you're wise enough and capable of seeing majority of the activities of merit source aspirants as to how generous and active they are in keeping the board in good condition. You know better than we do, not judging from favoritism as some of us would, that make you the best decision making body of the local board. All I ask is that theymos should give you a listening ear to our request so that the ratio of post to merit would come Close to being fair compared to other boards.
