Just take a look at the replies in this thread. I see lower-ranked members posting in lousy English and most likely only to get paid for whatever signature campaign they're in.

And wouldn't you know that a perfect example of my statement above, just a couple of hours ago, would magically appear out of the putrid swamp:

I can really bet that if merit source merit posts with the community allocated sMerits like the way some other users who awards merit by the quota they gets sMerits by received merits, I think it maybe improper because everyone is sure of having favorite fans in the forum which then, can lead to recycling whereas, the community sMerits won't circulate and meriting system won't be really fair.
But if I may ask, in your opinion, to what system should this be reformed to enable the merits flow effectively? Because I have thought so far but could not come with anything different apart still leaving it up to human decision just as already, we have merit sources doing the jobs.
I also believe that even if Theymos decides to take the meriting tasks upon himself, we as human will still feel unsatisfied.
Rightly, my obligation here is not really pointing that the merit sources are not spreading the community sMerits accordingly but curious to know about how they picks those posts being merited with a prior of serving the entire community irrespective of the board section they are assigned to.

These are the kinds of posts I never merit, and Cryptohygenic seems to be the type of member who confuses post length with post quality--and also the type who posts in threads like this one, hoping to earn some merit. I've been seeing this shit since 2018.
