A user who is busy organizing competitions will perform the duties of a merit source much worse than an "only-meritsourcer"
I don't see any benefit for the forum from this useless icopress's application.
A well-fed and rich man will never perform his duty well than a starving poor user
Icopress has been making big money for a long time now and this service personnel position, frankly speaking, is not his level.
I think he needs this position for some personal gain. For selfish purposes.
Meritsource must be a disinterested party. And icopress, as is known, is the organizer of competitions here, which makes it an interested party.

How so tired of these attention seekers 
As much as some of us might want (or not want) a fellow member to be a merit source, bumping a thread seems to be a futile exercise because from what can be deduced theymos has his set criteria and does not deviate from it. If there was a shortlist, I think theymos would probably have added icopress on it.
Keeping that aside, do we really need merit sources right now? There are enough merits going around to temporarily pause merit sources receiving their monthly allowance and it would allow time to see how things develop with merit distribution. As an experiment, it might be worth doing.

Although I also support icopress' application, I don't see much sense in continuing to insist when we know that theymos has not appointed new merit sources for a long time. Surely he has taken good note of the applications and when he makes changes he will choose between these applicants.
I don't think that by bumping this or other threads people will be more or less likely to be appointed.

Icopress already has all the money in the world (from profit of bitcointalk). This icopress doesn't seem to know when to stop.
Let's leave all the other baseless things you say all the time; I would love to know what becoming a merit source has to do with money or how much money one has or earns.
If you are referring to the fact that people sell their sMerits to earn money, you should have enough sense to understand that theymos is not going to appoint people who can possibly do that and abuse the system.

This is a centralization and a way to venal practices

i would also like to bring this thread/the application by icopress up again
i am still of the opinion that this user would be exactly the right person for a merit source in the whole forum space

It has been a while when this application was submitted by icopress. It has been a while when the Indian board is not having any active merit source. Still, Theymos is least interested in looking into this application and the one created by @TheUltraElite. I request everyone here to regularly bump both the threads as a good will gesture. I feel I won't be disappointed with my humble request.
It is probably an inevitable eventuality that at some point he will become a merit source but the final time line and decision is in the hands of the admin. There is no disrespect intended to other applicants in Meta but I cannot think of any member that has applied to become a merit source and they happen to be more suitable than icopress.
I recently asked him if he had become a merit source since I wanted him to visit our local board (India) and award some sMerits to deserving topics or posts. He replied that his application had not been approved. I was very disappointed, as he submitted his application long ago.
He is known for his good reputation, which is evident from the numerous positive conversations he engages in on various local boards as well as the abundance of positive feedback he has received. I firmly believe that he is well-suited to become a merit source, and I fully support his application, just as I did for TheUltraElite. I kindly ask @Theymos to review both applications, as individuals like these two are the reason why users like myself remain active on the forum.

Sincerely speaking I don't know @icopress isn't a merits source judging from all his activities over here and he is well known. Usually during my start late May 2023, seeing Icepress over here then give me this thinking that he could be among the merits sources also couples with his constants contest hosting in the forum one would feels that is among the sources.
Yeah you are right, approval surely in the hands of admins or theymos. But wait a bit why theymos doesn't want to approve such a reputable member like Icepress. What a hell holding him back not to approve him, or is there any special vote of confidence to approve him? If yes then show me link I don't mind casting my vote for him to be approved.

Don't feel too much disappointed to be frank you're not the only one but what can we all do, nothing but wait until Theymos to speak on this issues and at least accept some of the piling applications for some years now.He is known for his good reputation, which is evident from the numerous positive conversations he engages in on various local boards as well as the abundance of positive feedback he has received.

Most LB needs merit source and this side of the forum I can say has been among the part most lacking merit source or allocation and sadly we're still waiting for Theymos to respond to us either by giving more allocation to merit source in the LB or add more merit source there.

I would like to show my support for this application if it carries any weight.
icopress is one of the most praiseworthy members of this forum. His reputation speaks volumes for his contributions to this forum, be it as a member or campaign manager, he has always been sincere and honest with whatever he did, and I'm not saying this because I'm a part of one of the campaigns he is managing, but this is what I have observed throughout the time I have spent on this forum.
Just like all other things he did with great enthusiasm and honesty, I'm pretty sure he will be a great merit source as well and the forum and its members will benefit from this for sure.
So, I would request @theymos to accept his application and make him a merit source for us members.

I would say that Thymos should review that the forum needs more merit sources, and especially the forum needs generous merit like @icopress. So kindly consider this, Thymos.

I think beyond any doubt, you have a super reputation and also have good ability in every aspect. @icopress is one of the greatest forum members; he has contributed a lot to the forum.
Considering all these leading services, I am sure that there is no one better than @icopress who has the right to be a merit source, i.e. out of all the merit source applications I have seen, I am the most prominent and a unique member. I saw it was @icopress and by concluding it, I claim that no one can be more entitled to the merit source than this person. By elobrating this, I would say that Thymos should review that the forum needs more merit sources, and especially the forum needs generous merit like @icopress. So kindly consider this, Thymos.
Friendly bump! I still believe that Icopress is going to be a great merit source for this forum. I highly support his application and believe Theymos will also consider Icopress's application.
I believe it would be helpful to have some new merit sources, I know the present merit sources are doing quite well but new ones are still needed to merit the useful posts.

Again Theymos, could you please validate the few merit sources "to-be" that have applied? I believe you can see this....cus I read something about some merit circle yesterday... That's exactly the kinda world we live in.
At the moment, theymos is not considering anyone for the role of m'sources (I believe this will be the case for at least the next 6 months).Beamed you up Scotty
Spend them well.
Sad so sad the anger in your heart ❤️ must weigh you down.
There's no anger. I am trying to explain to you in a rational way that the merits should be given mainly for posts that have quality, not giving them to a person who you like simply because you like him, while you take it as a personal attack.
It seems incredible that with how long you've been on the forum I have to explain this to you and you don't understand it. I guess it's because of the time you've spent in the WO thread, since everything is different there and is tolerated.
So if i like a person must I give all the reasons that I like them to justify the merits I give him.
Is liking him not enough words for you.
Do you want a detailed explanation of why I like him why I trust him?
Here is one reason I like him and trust him. He pays the signature participants the correct amount of money due to them.
The internet will always have issues when writing to communicate.
My apologies if saying I like someone was not detailed enough for your standards.
So me giving him merits is my way of saying he does a good job distributing payments to people. He has been honest from all evidence I have seen. He has done this for years.
All qualites of a good campaign manager.

Come on! Merits do not have to be given to someone because you like him, nor because he is a campaign manager who pays his participants, which is what he is supposed to do.
As I said before, if it wasn't you, someone else doing the same thing would have a dozen people telling him what I'm telling you but since it's you you get a pass, which doesn't take away that you are misusing the merits giving them to people because you like them or because they are good campaign managers.

It's good that we're being honest lately. Here's an honest question of mine: what are the mitigating factors of having a 12-year-old account? If you think this deserves a neutral feedback, then you should do it regardless the reputation of the user, otherwise you're being dishonest to the new users.
But why?.. tchh! Accountability is part of the core problems we have in our community... Even in my newbie days, I tried as much as possible to point out so many cases that proved our merit system is biased; several elite members never seem to agree with it -- though it was obvious already.., they keep beating about some petty sentiments that doesn't even correlate with the proper way of recycling merits ... You could choose to merit only elite members like yourself if you were never a merit source but; It's a different thing if you've been appointed/allocated merit for sourceship -- you have a duty... The case is different today. Amongst all the reputable members in our forum; if merit sources were inclined to meriting technical post&thread alone/ appointed due to their vast technical knowledge, do you think most members would rank up/ be called up as merit sources??... Lol..THE SYSTEM is made to be as free as possible; but it looks like some powerful people feel others shouldn't be like them.
