Can you please explain me why you are merited some of reply on your thread ? Because of they support you ?
Did you read the thread about Merit & new rank requirements
If you become merit source how we expect you will fairly distribute merit after become merit source ?
I expect appropriate explanation from you. I think this is not good practice for spend your smerit and it will prevent you from become merit source.
His capacity is still a forum member and he contains the prerogative on who to merit based on his knowledge, understanding, and liking. Should he be promoted to become a sMerit Source, then this will validate the sources that he provided that should be merited under the Philippines Local Board.
Assuming that his intentions are purely good, then this will contribute to the Local Board as many Filipinos suffer the fluency of speaking in English. Hopefully, this deficiency would not hinder them from making quality and meaningful topics under the Board which promotes and builds for the betterment of the forum.
