There are no rules about merit distribution. Merit source (just as a non-merit source) can give merits whenever they want and for whatever reason they want and that in itself is the major flaw in the merit system.

I am no fan of the merit system because it is open to abuse and because creating a two-tier system where there are merit sources and non-merit sources, an unnecessary division between members has been created and that is why it should be reformed.

Greetings everyone.
Something has been bothering me sometimes now which I have made consultation but could not get convinceable response.
So the things is How does the merit sources pick posts for merits? Do they have bots that specifically identifies those posts like filtering a thread to find worth quality post to merit? Or just hovering around threads in their specified board they are in charge off and then merits randomly according to their own decisions?
I am curious because I see posts that is more qualified for merits but ignored while lower quality posts at being merited or could it also mean there is favouritism in there?
