Let me help you OP, of course the more merit source, the happier it will be. I am supporting every possible merit source here in the forum for it will be beneficial to all users in the forum to have a better merit distributions though theymos does have already its own ways on promoting and preserving the forum. So, all of this applications are subject for approval and it is the admins discretion on choosing one.
All I can do as a user seeing that this could be a beneficial to the users in the forum is just by bumping this thread. Hopefully you will get it OP.

I’ve prepared my Merit source application for a while now, collected under-merited posts and would like to apply to get a Merit source. The biggest problem was that there were quite a few good posts and I had to decide which ones I’m going to list here, so no easy decision at all.
About me:
I’m active on the German board, but also on different English boards. In the German community I’ve launched a few topics to help beginners or bring interesting content of other topics. I manage a topic against automated translations (the famous “Übersetzungs-Spam”) to prevent translation abuse and help to detect such cases.
As a Merit source, I would try to encourage members to write interesting content and share their knowledge.
Hoarding my sMerit isn’t something I’m known for and I’m always trying to spend them when I see valuable content. I feel sorry if I can’t give Merit to good posts because of my limited sMerit although I try to keep at least 1 sMerit if I come over an outstanding post.
Recently, I’ve reached 1000 Merit in just a little bit more than a year. Thanks everyone for the support who detects his name in the graphic below, I appreciate it very much.

I hope I can be defined as a “somewhat established” member and fulfill the requirements as a Merit source.
I’m applying because I think it’s important to encourage people posting good content here. If everyone puts some effort into their posts, ranking up isn’t a difficult thing. And besides from ranking up you’ll help some other people when they are asking a question or searching via Google. For search results of Bitcoin-related questions, Bitcointalk.org is ranked very high so your helpful guides and answers will also reach not registered users.
You should always remember that you can be a helpful part of the community in the forum where Satoshi himself was active and discussed Bitcoin.
In addition, you’ll help to speed up the adoption (at least a little bit) if you write helpful content and Newbies get answers for their questions.
I would appreciate it to reward such high-quality posts with Merit.
Some other reasons why I’m applying as a Merit source:
In January, the allocation of our main local Merit source was halved from 600 to 300 because he was busy in December and couldn't distribute much Merit:
Interesting detail: because I haven’t used enough of my source sMerit in December my allocation of source Merit was reduced. I had 600 source sMerit per month before, right now it’s only 300 sMerit
(like I had before the last increase from 300 to 600)
In addition, the distribution of Merit is very centralized on the German board, here are the current stats from DdmrDdmr's Merit Dashboard:

And in May 2019 our Merit source tyz got a 2 month ban + 1 year signature ban: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ban-appeal-for-over-5-year-old-account-5147191
I hope he’ll get his status as a Merit source back but until then the distribution of sMerit has slowed down aside from the other points.
I don't expect to get a high number of source sMerits but a little bit would be nice already to decentralize the Merit distribution in the German local board.
I will select posts meeting the following requirements:
- Contribution to the topic: is the post giving an answer to the question and offering new knowledge? Also, short replies can be worth a Merit if the content is interesting.
- Time spent for creating the post: how much time was required to make the posts? That includes research, the technical background but also explaining and writing down the content and presenting it. Is it just a rehash or copy pasted from somewhere else or a genuine research?
- I’ll try to prefer lower ranks to encourage them in discussions if the post offers at least a somewhat meaningful contribution. The higher the rank, the better your post has to be to get merited, especially for Legendary Members.
I’ve always tried to send only 1 Merit per post to split my sMerit to as many posts as possible but there are still posts that I have to pass unmerited. I hope my application gets accepted and I receive a few sMerit every month to distribute them for quality posts.

Interessantes Detail: da ich wohl zu wenig meiner Source Merit im Dezember verbraucht habe, wurde mir das "Taschengeld" auch gleich zusammengestrichen.
Bisher hatte ich 600 Source Merit im Monat, momentan sind es nur noch 300.
(allerdings hatte ich vor der letzten Erhöhung auch nur 300)
