The fact that that doesn't happen, makes me think theymos thinks there's enough sMerit going around.
From my perspective of Theymos view on all this going on, if merit source must be added it has to be proved to Theymos that the increase in the number of newly registered members and/or posts in the forum is way too high that the merit in circulation is not enough anymore.
And from my perspective, Theymos is looking at the statistics of the forum there is no increase in new members or activity instead it goes up and down within a normal ratio. which makes me think that's the more reason Theymos hasn't approved new merit source or increased the merit allocation of any merit source.
However, is anyone in this forum making any good post and is not recieving merits? of course
No so what is the reason behind the merit increase discussion, in my opinion it's just a sense of power or superiority to others that's the reason why guys are forced into requesting for merit increment and also a sense of belonging to the ruling class of the forum through merit. Hence the merit system is more of a power struggle mechanism.
