Is the Merit circulation on a downtrend yet Bitcoin is on an uptrend?

[Coyster]

I believe that the only solution we may have is to vote for some new merit sources on this forum, in fact I believe the forum needs some new merit sources. I have personally supported @Icopress's merit source application and I believe new merit sources like Icopress could support those posts with some merits. I hope that Theymos should consider appointing new merit sources to help those unmerited posts to get some deserving merits.

The forum users do not vote for merit sources, reputable users apply to be merit sources and Theymos picks from the applications in the pipeline, when he feels there is a need to add new MS to the forum. There are quite a lot of good users who have applied to be MS's and they have been waiting for a long now, but nothing doing from Theymos and i can't really say why; many of them deserve the "job" and they would greatly improve the merit system.

If I'm not wrong then the ones who applied for being accepted as merit sources need some type of support or you can say vote of the forum's members. If I'm not wrong then Theymos also considers that support as a positive aspect of someone's application and he's wise enough to know that the forum members opinion also matters when it's about betterment of the forum.

There is always need for merit sources but it takes time to know that who could be a better merit source and when Theymos is 100% sure that who would be good as a merit source then he could appoint that member as a merit source.

I have seen those applications and I have supported most of those applications because I also believe that the forum needs some new merit sources who may help out the members of the forum that need those merits. There are so many good posts by the members of the forum who are merit-worthy and those can get merits when new merit sources are added to the forum. If I'm not wrong then Theymos is also keeping eye on the applications and in near future he may announce the names of those members who get accepted as merit sources.

Is merit spending becoming more and more scarce lately?

Yes!

I couldn't surely be the only one noticing this. Most of the time, I find posts worth meriting, but I can't, because in most cases I have zero sMerits, something that was rare to me in the past.

I like the fact that you were sincere enough to include the last part... I Remember seeing a user complain of not getting merits anymore like they use to (I can't recall who it was) but the responses that they got was nothing realistic at all.

I know about reporting them to some threads, but it gets tiring if I can't even have 1 sMerit every other time I see a post.

I meannnn... How's that supposed not to be tiresome? Reporting your own post plus every other post to get merited, then some garbage and thread-derailing post, all at the same LIMITED time ?? Is this how bent the system has become overtime?....I'm a type that does alot of reading too... Isn't this conflicting already? Haven't y'all seen the impact for as long as this have been thriving?

B. A drop in the number of active merit sources.

oh Ratimov, Leo; why's death so inconsiderate? "For when a good man dies, his expectation will perish, And the hope of his offspring cut short"

If it is a loop between local users for sMerit distribution, generally if you don't belong to actively internal merit circle, you will feel like sMerit nowadays (recent months like about last 2 years) will be more scarce

so you mean we all gotta belong to some internal cycling circle?.. "Things won't get any better"...i see.

The thing about theymos is that the man is filled with surprises and from the little time I have spent here in this community I have to notice that theymos always give in the needs or want of some  requests here only when he deem it necessary so I think he is still in slumber mode or maybe drinking a cup of tea over the scarcity and also the multiple line of merits source applications waiting on his approval.  

I believe the skeptical chymist is the right person to ring when it comes to issues of requests and granting approvals, he can better explain 😉 theymos nearly made him cry when he constantly requests merit refill and increase from the man
