Have you made a lot of reports in the Beginners & Help section and they were left unhandled? Or did you open this thread just because you saw there were no listed board-specific moderators? If the reports haven't been looked into, theymos might consider appointing a new moderator, but just because you don't see a moderator name there doesn't mean the section isn't moderated. Admins and Global Moderators (and for Newbie's posts, Patrollers) can all handle reports.

Perhaps I acknowledge that reports are handled properly as it should be, the perspective in OP is that the small space which the name of a dormant moderator was in before hand is left open with a description nor a mods name and not necessarily that the board is unmoderated.

If there are posts you think deserved merit but didn't receive any, feel free to list them and send a PM to me. If I find them suitable, I'll distribute merits.

Would have loved to take responsibility of that, whoever, you would agree with me that if you are assigned to a specific board you will pay more attention to post in that board and see for your self little contributions or ideas could deserve a least 1 based on your perception.

One thing that I seem to notice is that we are always tied to similar perception of things, only few things rational sometimes.

IIRC it has been the same since I first registered on the forum, including on the Meta board. Of course, when you report a thread or post, it will eventually be handled by the global moderators.

You're wrong mate, MiningBuddy was the mod assigned to B&H, Since he was dormant for so long and I made a post about it Theymos removed it in the thread I sited in the OP: here is Theymos response to the thread after he removed it;

Good point. I went through and removed several inactive moderators from various boards. Thanks!

.... However, I personally think that merit sources should have as a requirement, a minimum number of sent merits per month, and per X board, in order to keep their merit source badge active.

I'm not in support of that either, I just B&H and Bitcoin Discussion to be looked into more often as they are core grounds in the forum than LBs.

"Bitcoin Discussion" and "Beginners & Help" boards are just like other boards. It's not that we have specific merit sources for each boards. As far as I know, only local boards have some specific merit sources.

According to DdmrDdmr's merit dashboard, 6.14% of total merits have been sent in "Bitcoin Discussion" and 4.26% of total merits have been sent in "Beginners & Help".
Do you still think not enough percentage of merits are distributed in these boards?

I'm not someone that doesn't listen to others opinion, however I agree with you that those boards get merits distributed accordingly. However since merit source job is voluntary, don't think assigning some of those new merit sources to a specific board is going to work based on what some are saying here.

Don't know how well this will sit with you all!

Your topic title makes me think it is a request made by theymos and it is a topic created by theymos. Your topic title should be "Special requests to theymos", not from.

I think LoyceV has a more perfect title.

There are plenty of options for low-ranked members who post in that section to earn merit. I think the reason it doesn't have an assigned merit source is because it's not a board where people visit regularly, unlike the local boards. But merit sources do visit from time to time, and if anyone thinks there are posts that haven't received enough merit, there are threads to report them.

Your opinion is very much valid, I appreciate them but this is not really about low-ranked members, they have multiple threads to seek for merits. It's about a little bit of more attention paid to those important board not by moderators but merit source just like the attentions served in local boards.

I read what I want, being a Merit source is not a paid job where a boss gets to tell me what work to do.

LOL

That's still wrong. OP should read theymos' Topic title style guide. A better title would have been: "Add a Moderator or Description to Beginners & Help board".

Absolutely correct!
Edited to it! thanks

Merit source is really not a paid job, and they aren't distributed for each board. But I can say most of the merit-deserved posts have been merited. I often visit that section, and I distribute merits to whoever deserves them. I admit some posts would be underestimated or not noticed by the merit source. Then you may link them on the reputation merit thread. Remember, all the users can merit on the post; it doesn't necessarily mean only the merit source will distribute their merits.

I also notice your presence on merit distribution and threads sometimes.

Good you admit to it! however, I will see if I can do the job of gathering comments or posts that I believe deserve little merit, especially those that may be skipped or unnoticed.
Although I'm always busy with college activities yet will find time for that if possible.

Quote from: Obim34 on Today at 12:00:20 PM

For merit distribution in Beginners section, assigning a merit source would help aside activeness from low ranked members, the board carries helpful informations, you can find Bitcoin discussion topics, Wallet discussion topics and also Guide topics which are merit worthy but unseen.

Definitely would but seems since it's a voluntary job, according to LoyceV no one is paid for the job so no bossy assignment should be given.

.....
This is just about seeing the appearance of the moderator being in charge of the board, but we don't have it visible the other boards are, he would have asked why the moderator in charge not showing as other boards, than coming to a conclusion of no moderation on the board.

I guess the problem here is misconceptions... Read my response to others hence you will understand better.

@Findingnemo Thanks for your opinion, I guess it has already been stated by others.

Fun fact: I had to draft my response like JJG Cool
