My only opinion is that since it looks like most of the existing merit sources are inactive for them to go through Meritable posts, the only idea I can give is for removal of inactive merit sources and a replacement with the current merit source applicants
I think I've suggested that myself once or twice, but I'm not sure what Theymos is thinking along those lines. The local boards seem like they could also use some new sources in addition to replacing any of the ones who've gone inactive. And despite Theymos's silence on the matter, I suspect one day he'll just drop an announcement about a change he's made instead of just giving his thoughts on the state of the merit system (which is what I've been pleading for). Anyway, until then we'll see what happens.
What I mean, is how they tend to give themselves merits on post and replies that don't make sense but charge and use it against other normal users that lack such reputation. I mean have you being to the reputation board of lately? Users are actually slandered for meriting themselves and charged with case of abusing merit within themselves whereas they are free to do @merit-cycling-gangs of Bitcointalk 🙄🙄
You mean Foxpup's club? That isn't what you think it is, if I'm reading your post correctly. We don't just send merits to each other, nor are we an elite gang of rule-breakers. If that isn't what you meant, perhaps you could slap me awake. I haven't yet had my daily allotment of coffee, you know.
