Dear Bitcoin Forum,
Why do I appeal for this merit source status?
I have enjoyed the respect of many of the well-respected and long-term members of the forum; from the Economics (Speculation) section, the Marketplace (Goods esp. Collectibles) section and beyond. I have likewise shown much respect towards the other members here as well. I have received much of my merit for my positivity in tough times and for trying to raise members’ spirits.
Most of the time, I use the Merit system to award members for the quality of their posts, for bringing good spirit and/or humor to the community but also as thank you for proven service. I have been merited very much; not always on high-quality stuff, but maybe because a lot of members kind of like my good spirit regarding Bitcoin and the positive relationships I have forged around the WO and the forum. I feel that I don’t have enough merit to send to all the posters who warrant it and I want to become a merit source so I can be more involved with the forum and share more of the same goodwill that’s been afforded to me.
I’ve been a registered member since July 14, 2017 when I entered the forum thanks to a friend who introduced me to the Wall Observer thread. This was the beginning of my Bitcoin education and for about the first year or so I visited the WO thread exclusively because I really thought it was the entire Bitcoin forum not realizing there was so much more. Thanks to some very helpful members, I developed a better understanding of the forum and discovered there were other sections and threads.... LoL
I know, but I believe this shows my dedication and my desire to learn.
There will always be people/members like me, still in a learning phase but having the best of intentions to learn and a willingness to be involved with Bitcoin so when such a member crosses my path I know I will be there to help them find their way around the forum and I would also like to be able to merit those members when merit is due. I also believe that there are many more "NEW" quality members on the forum trying and willing to participate, to build on to this amazing community that deserve some merit. There are likewise many quality senior and hero members as well posting lots of good stuff but having difficulty receiving sufficient merit to propel them to legendary status.
The bulk of my activity has been in the threads I mentioned at the beginning of this post but I have also visited Dutch-language section a few times and I could be a bit more active there as well as a Merit source. There is a Dutch idiom "kaf van het koren scheiden" which translates literally in English as "separate the wheat from the chaff” and means "to separate the valuable from the worthless” – as a merit source, this would be my motto.
The forum is a community of people helping one another when and where it is needed. As an example, a fellow forum member proof-read and corrected this document in order to help me with my desire to become a merit source. I have the time and the desire to be a merit source and would like to have the ability to reward this type or community spirit whenever and wherever it occurs.
sincerely,

Your topic is a lot of information. Many of the popular topics help a lot in the field of merit. For that matter, there are other important issues of information.
