Cabalism13's Merit Source Application

[Theb]

Definitely supporting Cabalism13's merit source application, he is one if not the most active member the Philippine's local board contributing as much knowledge as he can on every post he make in the local board. Besides that him and crwth have started a charity event in the forum which the funds goes directly for the purposes of helping the needy in our country he also documents it with photos on how the day went with them. Making Cabalism13 who is an active member in the local board a merit source would definitely boost the activity there.

More merit sources do no create issues, but rather open the possibility to a more diverse merit awarding criteria and extent. Although naturally supervising local board merit assignment is language limited, the whole Merit System has an inherent amount of assigned trust given to the Merit Sources. If any of them go rouge, eventually they will be spotted, even if on a local board level (and sMerit TXs can be reverted by admin if need be).

I don't say more merit sources will always create positive net-effects. It depends on quality of merit sources and their works after becoming merit sources, besides situation in their local boards (abusement levels). If in their local boards, there are extreme abusements, merit sources in such boards have more works to do in order to fullfil their tasks as merit sources: Help good users to rank up, whilst prevent bad users to abuse and rank up.
I have known that the admin can revert abused merits from sources or from several users (one or two times, as I remembered). However, such cases are unexpected ones, both for admin and for the forum.
Let's return to the local board merit sources:
- Think widely a little bit: How many merit sources in total we have now?

There are 123 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 20855 sMerit per 30 days

- How many local boards the forum have?
1. Arabic (yes), 1 mod
2. Bahasa Indonesia (yes) 2 mods
3. Español (Spanish) (yes) 1 mod
4. Chinese (yes) 1 mod
5. Hrvatski (Croatian) (No)
6. Deutsch (German) (No)
7. Eλληνικά (Greek) (yes) 1 mod
8. עברית (Hebrew)  (yes) 1 mod
9. Français (yes) 1 mod
10. India (No)
11. Italiano (Italian) (yes) 1 mod
12. 日本語 (Japanese) (yes) 1 mod
13. Nederlands (Dutch) (No)
14. 한국어 (Korean) (No)
15. (Pilipinas) (yes) 1 mods
16. Polski (yes) 1 mod
17. Português (Portuguese) (yes) 1 mod
18. Pyccкий (Russian) (yes) 2 mods
19. Română (Romanian) (yes) 1 mod
20. Skandinavisk (No)
21. (yes) 1 mod
22. Other languages / locations (yes) 1 mod.

- How many merit sources in total in the Pilipinas board?
2 merit sources, at least, because the board has 2 mods.

If there is need to add new merit sources, it should be added for local boards that have not had a single merit source, by now.

Filipino are a bit lazy when it comes to understanding other languages.

It is obviously their faults, due to their laziness. It is always easier to stick with the first languages, learning and using second languages are harder, but it worths our time, especially with the International language like English. How locals can read news as in real-time as possible without English? I meant, they can wait for hours or even days later to see original news translated into their first languages by someone in their local community or in their nations. It's too late in crypto, if they are news-hunters, so they have to know English, enough to read.

Well, humans are born with laziness, and yeah it definitely worths our time, but still we have to consider some of them who really can't. There are people who can be described as slow learner and that also makes them lazy to learn.

Other people should understand that not all users here can definitely do what we can even if they die trying their isn't a perfect one who can do all things. Making some adjustments isn't that bad as long as we can help the community to its development and to make it grow as a large group.

We understand that not all boards has a Mod or Source but still this is somewhat one of the reasons on why local members aren't joining into discussions, they feel that its just useless for nobody will notice their sides even if they join on some hot threads. Its just a sad thing that not all boards doesn't have these things.

This is not right.
It's no one's fault if they want to stick to their Mother tongue. It's not a must that everyone must know or use English. People have different views and perspectives on their languages and cultures, and so we much respect them the way they are.

What's this guy's deal @btcsmlcmnr, it's left for the local boards that don't have merit sources or moderators as you say to come forth and apply. You don't attack the boards that have showed interest in requesting for a source or more source just because you feel others don't have. You don't get what you don't asked for. (I believe they're not interested that's why they haven't asked). Beside the allocation of merit to local boards merit sources aren't that huge to make an impact that's why the need for more sources isn't a bad idea on those boards. The local boards that are comfortable aren't complaining like Russia.

Exactly. Boards that doesn't make a requests should be left alone for they' re already don't need anything except for moderation of spam and garbage posts.
I have seen the number of Merit Sources in the Merit Stats, it's 100+ and we definitely don't feel those Sources on our Board

People are now coming to our Board, and because of this we really need one Active Merit Source.

Bump. I now declare myself as a worthy of being a Merit Source, for I can be responsible for this task and definitely make my work completely valid to the public.
