Give an incentive to the Merit Sources for them to be proactive in achieving their quota.

Merit sources have an indirect (unplanned) incentive to spend their merit.

We are more likely to receive merit in return for passing out our own merit. :/

I think that most merit sources do not need any merit.
Actually merit sources should not need merit at all. To avoid conflict of interest.

Anyway I think there is no need for an incentive.

Maybe we need more merit sources, because there are lots os comments daily in this forum and just a few (about 80 last time I saw) cannot read all of them.

Some of them aren't sending all the smerits, even some are not too active on the forum.

In this case I am sure theymos is keeping an eye on them and some day they may be removed from the sources or anything else that he thinks is appropriate.

Sorry but I do not mean that one. I am not saying that merit sources are not doing their job correctly. We just all know that there are times that they will become busy because they too have their own priorities (e.g. family, business, work, school, etc).

Understood.

People will just give their merits away needlessly to hit their quota...

Will ruin the whole spirit of the merit system if that comes from the merit sources.

Forget to quote:

special privilege (additional feature on their profile?)

This will do harm to them. People will start to PM or spam them to receive merits from them. Jet Cash has a topic which is demonstrating the issue.

At first sight it seems a good idea to me but I don’t think bitcoin payment is gonna happen and additional features on their profiles don’t seem too motivating for me.

Why is this necessary? People shouldn't be encouraged with monetary rewards for this because it will just lead to abuse and is one more system to game. We already have an issue with merit abuse yet you want to further incentive it by monetising it? People will just give their merits away needlessly to hit their quota and win a prize, thus merit is likely just going to those that don't really deserve it.

I ran out of idea regarding on what incentive to give. But the main point is to give them an incentive as a form of recognition to them.

They are merit sources and I think this is the biggest incentive. It's the honor, recognition and privilege.

What makes you think (your are sounding like you are not happy with them) that merit sources are not doing their job correctly?

I think being a Merit Source is a tedious job hence I just think that giving them something in return is a wonderful thing.

Given that there are reports that the current actual number of merits given in the past months did not meet the expected merits for circulation, please let me propose an idea.

Give an incentive to the Merit Sources for them to be proactive in achieving their quota.

This will serve as a positive reinforcement to the Merit Sources to encourage them to attain the quota of number of merits for circulation for the month (or for a given period).

An incentive can be a form of payment (bitcoin?), special privilege (additional feature on their profile?), or anything that is beneficial to them.

What do you think?
