Icopress ' Merit Source Application 🚩

[_BlackStar]

My position is still the same – I mean, I will support anyone's wish to become a merit source if they truly deserve to be a merit source. I've come to support the OP as a merit source as I do any other application thread - of course this is because the latest addition of merit sources is necessary to get more outstanding merit and find more different users.

Many applications are still pending - so I think OP will need to be patient to get his turn. In the end I believe that icopress will be one of the merit sources if theymos really want to increase the list of members.

I am not surprised by the unanimous reception of your application and how people enthusiastically admire your decision to apply for a merit source, you are a man with popular repute in the forum.

You have done that which you should do by applying for a merit source  and not that you desire to be a merit source in your own interest but for the service  and profit of the community for those good posts that deserves merit but are denied because of the insufficient number of merit source in the forum.

 With your addition to the merit source we already have in the forum there's going to be a degree of expansion and it's only necessary that those that wants  to serve be giving the opportunity by the forum admin.

 Icopress, your application has my support.

The user has it all, good rep, always active, contributing to the growth of this Forum and good at coordinating things he's handling. I think he deserves to be one of those merit sources we have here in this Forum, he's a no nonsense person.
He's really up to the task from how he manages his campaign, doesn't let any bad eggs to spoil his business, especially those with red tag. The way he manages his campaign would speak more about him, so I say yes to this Application.
Good luck Mr Icopress

I like your introduction and summary. Very nicely written post. You support anyone's wish to become a merit source only if they deserve it. And you also acknowledged that the forum needs more merit sources. I also support icopress merit source application, not only because of his influence and contribution to the forum, but because he is a campaign manager and he knows what a quality post is. He must have been seeing some while counting posts weekly.

Bump amical 

I strongly support the application of icopress as a merit source. His ability to review posts, his deep knowledge of the forum and the community, would^(will!) make him a great source for sure. Good luck!

[digaran]

I don't know if anyone here really understands this, vouching for someone to become a source is useless, because admin does the review/audit the applicants personally, then decides whether to accept or not.

What would be constructive contribution is to find any reason why someone should not become a source.
The way you bump this means you benefit from OP becoming a source, then your vouches would lose their credibility.😉

If you don't know, I want to let you know that admins care about community feedback, which is why the admins themselves asked users to create an application thread with ten posts that deserve merits. Of course, admins also check the support of the community. This is why it's a community. Of course, admins are influenced by the community members.

What would be constructive contribution is to find any reason why someone should not become a source.

Most of the guys who created the Merit source application thread are established enough and proved themself by contributing to the forum for a couple of years. If you have any reason not to support their application, feel free to point it out, but don't encourage others to find negativity.

Don't take it negatively. Their vouches show that the community will profit if he becomes a merit source, not any particular person. Their vouches show the need for another merit source.

I still can't tell why Theymos has became silent on picking out merits source to the forum especially to local board as well. I have been trying to understand why he is not paying attention anymore or could it be he has just decided to quit accepting and appointing more source to the forum or what, I think there are lots of spaces where I think merits source should play a vital role but this no signs and efforts to oversee the people's plight towards their interest on becoming a source. However I have never been in a deep discussion with op @Icopress neither has he accepted me in his campaign before if I am not mistakenly but, I want to say I openly support his application to become a merits source hope to see him extend his hands to everyone just as some other people are being generous with their power.
Good luck Icopress.

The forum admins and Global moderators have never been too open regarding these things. It is about appointing merit sources and other forum-related things like creating a new local sub-forum, banning appeal threads, etc. It's not like that they did not see the applications. They have seen the application, but they don't feel it's necessary right now. You will likely see their response once things get approved. As Icopress also mentioned in the OP, when theymos appoints a new merit source, he will look for an application thread in meta, which is why Icopress created this thread.

Then making it open for everyone to know that the forum doesn't need any merits source application for now so that people won't keep applying for a source while the forum doesn't honor them. It's better the mod or admin make it clear to air and to everyone who has intention for such application to hold still than writing without approval. If you check at the meta section you would understand that there are series of application pipeline waiting to be approved but yet no response from either theymos regarding on their application progress.

There many applications who still pending and did not yet accepted nor declined but anyways I support Icopress for becoming a merit source as we all know that he done so many good things here in forum also he is one of the trusted mangers here in our community, hoping that admin will take a look at the applications and decide if who are the eligible user to become a new merit source.
Icopress just still keep moving forward and someday you will be notice and accept as Merit source,

Good luck mate.

Though have also seen those who are eligible enough become a merits source but what I noticed or do I say sense is that theymos doesn't give a merits source according to how helpful you have been to forum or generous someone could be because I have seen those that are merits source they don't possess enough quality than Icopress or to even those that are already presented their merits source application. But still I hope theymos just devote his time to go through those application to accept them especially those that applied on a local board application to be approved.

Isn't it time for the Old man to select from the lots he has??.. we seem to have an abundance of inflow per annum but, the distribution is poor.. seen a couple of good writers down the hillside, struggling Thier way out... Peeps be saying that any submitted post without merit gets merited, ONLY IF IT'S WORTH IT... Exactly!! - the truth is, everyone's got their standards... Ratimov might see 'em as a bravo buh, Chymist might be abit objectional... LoyceV would definitely not see any regular shit like that; wouldn't even say a word assuming he's been tagged on it.... (That's just an assumption anyways)
in conclusion, I think it's right about time for Theymos.. I believe he sees this too.

The decision is not in our hands, right? All we can do is suggest them and influence them. Probably, they don't need a merit source right now, but of course, they have a plan to appoint merit source in the future, and theymos does not want to ask them to create a application thread. Instead, he will choose a merit source from existing applications. This is the reason why they do not ask them not to create application thread. Another reason is freedom. If you see someone created a merit source application thread and you want to create as well, if they don't allow, you may say they are maintaining some double standard. I hope that make sense.

Almost three months have gone since the icopress applied his application for the merit sources. I have not read any single post not voting for him to the merit source. But still, the decision is pending from theymos end. I do not know how long he would have to wait before becoming a merit source.

In my point of view, there are few people who deserve to be merit sources, as they are doing some great work for the community and he is one of them.

Bump

Oh man, I was convinced that you were already a merit source. You seem to understand the forum well, it would be logical to see you in this role.
If my support means anything, you have it.

I think, theymos sees everything. He is the house master. Of course, he knows what's going on his house. It's just he responds vary rarely when it comes to the changes of the forum. I think, it's a way of him to choose the right candidate. Like observing a person for months or years, making sure everything is ok and then appointing a merit source. If he made this decision hastily  there wouldn't be any merit source application left. Anyway, when was the last merit source appointed? A year ago? Can't remember.
