Why are you in such a hurry, if you are in such a hurry then earn merit through your own efforts. Because @fillippone is not getting merit at the speed at which users are posting every day. As a merit source, @fillippone applies the entire merit that is accumulated every month to the entire forum. @fillippone is not limited to this help topic only, he has to run the entire forum.
Is that what the issue really is, cause I thought I saw a post where he said the reason for the delay is due to the fact that the tools he uses in checking for those that have posted in less than a week is down or something in that line, I'm not sure
