I am finally applying to be a merit source. Yes yes I am a troll, a buffoon, a shitposter; but occasionally I fancy I do show good judgment. I'm keen on promoting the seniors and heroes who I see yes in the WO thread and whose posts are worthy of more recognition. Often they have a long period of absence, but are very knowledgeable and experienced. Occasionally brand new people burst on to the scene and are worthy of some sprinkling. And I even venture out of my comfort zone a bit. Get loads of merits myself, yes, but am always out, and some good posts have to be dropped.
EDIT: In light of this advice and my deviation therefrom, merited and then scrubbed the original 10 merit-worthy posts for this application, and will be adding more new examples of my candidates for meriting just below. First, the original 10 posts: archived https://archive.vn/AdWzkhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251040.msg54499903#msg54499903https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251040.msg54503977#msg54503977https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250269.msg54477726#msg54477726https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5119122.msg54372105#msg54372105https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5251036.msg54503906#msg54503906https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5248602.msg54482638#msg54482638https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5237084.msg54478703#msg54478703https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5250646.msg54491743#msg54491743https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg54396988#msg54396988https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg54433879#msg54433879Examine my meriting here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=479624 should you wish Current waiting list to be reviewed: tbd This will be the rolling part ^ Please note I would normally make such a little list and then go back to the posts to merit or discard, depending on how many I've got and whether the posts have enough merits now anyway or perhaps I decide against one or two after reflection. Would be very grateful for any feedback./edit

User ‘Last of the V8s’ probably hates me for doing so, but a little endorsement anyway:
True gentleman. Native speaker with a huge vocabulary and unique sense of humor. Sensitive b*llshit detector. Continuously shares little gems from all over bitcointalk.org and beyond.
Therefore I consider V8 an asset to the forum. Being a merit source gives the ability to reward and encourage other quality posters to continue doing so. I see no harm equipping this user with great merit powers.

Actually, I was pretty surprised to learn that he was not already one.

This is not some pseudoeconomic post-modern Libertarian cult, it's an un-led, crowd-sourced mega startup organized around mutual self-interest where problems, whether of the theoretical or purely practical variety, are treated as temporary and, ultimately, solvable. Censorship of e-gold was easy. Censorship of Bitcoin will be… entertaining.

I don't have a sodding clue what criteria are required to be a merit source but anyone of such heady seniority and commitment who brazenly states they're looking to rank the minnows up gets a Delta IV up the arse from me.
I would very much like to be bothered to do it myself, but I am not.

I know V8 doesn’t want me to merit this OP, but there isn’t anything more worthy to merit as him filling in a merit source application... I only have 8 available atm from my own stash so I will 8 merit this post if I had more it would have been more so he could start doing his job, cause this is what his made to do Making this forum a better and more healthy place and giving merit where it’s due
Also I met V8 in real life and his one of the most honorable man that have crossed my pad as a true bitcoiner as a friend as a man of his worth
Also V8 is one of the most helpful members that helped me around this forum from the very start (there are a few more) but V8 was one of them that educated me and helped to understand BTC way more as I used to know!
V8 would be one of the most effective sources as his reading all kinds of threads and places of this amazing forum....
I would stick my hand in fire for this man or better said friend
Also if he is granted source allowance then please make it a bigger one as the forum will benefit from it
Thx and I hope this thread will get a quick answer

Seconded. And also, i still don't know in which "category of humans" (can i cowardly say something like that?) i should put him, which is - if you think about it - good ...and also rare. Imho, V8's most outstanding quality making him applicable as a MS is clearly sane and fair judgement. If i had to describe him using a single word, then Dedication is what i would use.

I fully support Last of the V8s, he has always shown himself to be a great person with great knowledge, I respect him a lot and deserve to be a source of merit, it would be great if theymos would give him that privilege because he would do a great job.

I have witnessed Last of the V8s give merit to quality posts in many different topics and threads in this forum over quite some time and I was always convinced he was already a merit source. As others already said, he is joy to read, friendly and polite and he regulary digs up gold nuggets from all corners of the intertubes and is one of the main reason WO is a place to be.
I support his application.

The weird thing is that V8 wasn't a merit source since long time ago. In fact I thought he were.
For some reason I thought he was as well, but then again I haven't even attempted to keep track of who the merit sources are, nor do I care as long as there are enough of them and as long as there's enough merit being circulated by them--and in a fair manner, too. And I have to say, I don't have a clue as to whether the current stable of merit sources are sufficient; there haven't been a whole lot of threads in Meta bitching about merits or not being able to rank up, so that sort of makes me think that we're doing OK--but I'm far from certain about that. Something tells me that new members have kind of given up on trying to rank up their own accounts from scratch, and if rank is important to them (likely for campaigns), they're probably going to start their "career" on bitcointalk with a purchased account. Anyhow, I fully support OP's application and hopefully he'll get tapped by Theymos to be a source.

Gosh well thank you all so much for your support and for all the merits. Had an absolute jamboree today with them. I've already slid back a bit by meriting tons of WO posts, and I realise I will have to force myself to get out and about more. Forgive me if I don't merit your posts in this thread, they are mostly very worthy, but it would seem tacky to merit them unless extra good.
