Which boards are truly "under-merited" vs. "over-merited"?

[New Judgement]

the only way that merit distribution can go round every board is for merit sources to stop joining campaigns because meeting signature campaign quota often distract them from meriting many deserving posts maybe theymos should consider making merit sources a payable task and stop them from joining signature campaigns, not only merit sources but also the moderators so that they can concentrate exclusively on moderating the forum instead of dividing their attention by making posts for signature campaign payments

Is like you are forgetting that these merits sources are humans that have life outside the forum. If you stop them from joining signature campaigns in the forum, will you also stop them from going about their business outside the forum, so they can focus on look for posts to merit. I don’t see how joining signature campaigns will distract merit sources from meriting posts. It’s either the merit sources are not enough, or some boards have more merits sources than others. The most practical solution is to appoint more merit sources in those boards that are under merited. Increase the supply of the demands are getting higher. Asking the merits sources not to join signature campaigns is not the right approach.

You have been told enough, I'll elaborate on same a little more.

Completing signature quota and distributing merits require doing the same thing, that is to read posts >> respond or merit; certainly you have to put your thoughts into words in former but usually it tends to be effortless as in you read and brain flourishes with a thought and you just type it out.

I'll never understand why would anybody make fuss about posting here as if people don't already pour whatever comes into their head like no tomorrow on social media sites.

Plus, I am probably reading much into your post but merit sources should only be bothering with boards they have an idea of, it makes no sense to do otherwise.

I don't believe meriting posts is any distraction. Except we're insinuating that merit sources who are enrolled in campaigns don't read a few posts before making their own posts. Otherwise, they should see posts worthy of merit along the line. Also, we shouldn't forget that members don't merit posts because those posts aren't merit worthy but because merit is a subjective thing. What makes for a worthy post to one may not even make a bit of sense to another. Beauty, as they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder.

The suggestion for theymos making merit sources a payable engagement should be jettisoned. It's not going to be any productive. We can understand that for moderators because they put in the works in keeping the forum safe from spammers and other offenders.

I am just happy that my merit source application keeps getting validation even if not directly.

Some crazy hell of a no holds barred composition there 🙊. I agree with you on some of the points you raised there, though.

Yeah, because meriting posts is such a hard task that you have to be focused on that 100%.  

Most users will deffo try to throw shit at the wall and hope they stick. I don't blame him too much; maybe he has ADHD and it feels normal for him not to contain everything at once.

I stand by my previous objections. People holding merit sourceship positions must never make it to the payroll--- not a spiteful remark.

We're trying to solve some of the most up-to-the-minute problems so it'll be better not to cultivate a new one. I don't want to face a problem that is already a cliché
