Still point is needed a check on all merit sources if someone having issues in personal life needs to give updates 7 months and just 7 posts with 19th July last time active surely not good for anyone who is having some responsibility of helping community.
Being a merit source is not a paid job.
I see he is one of the newly appointed sources, and he announced that on June 11 means theymos considered him as an active member. If he isn't active or sharing the merit then he may lose his merit source status in the next update until that let the remaining active members to contribute to the active members for the quality posts.
And so that you know, not only merit source sends merits, anyone who earns merit can also spend it.
