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.
That's right, change the title, OP, go on. Making a request to the forum administrator and writing the title incorrectly will not help them take you seriously. At the very least, you can easily correct the error by editing the title.
Also, I feel like some simple comments or post in the beginner and help board and bitcoin discussion board, needs 1 or 2 merits which they may not be getting because no merit source is assigned specifically to each of this board since you gave new merit source, some needs to be more concentrated on a specific board that will make a little bit of sense.
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.
