Topic: [Merit Source Application] bill gator - page 2. (Read 515 times)

Sure, that's what you should have done either way, but I'd prefer including 1-2 if they were objectively better than one that just wasn't merited as much as it should. It's not only Welsh's by the way.

I don't want to be misunderstood; Husires isn't a spammer nor a merit beggar. They're somewhat established and do contribute to the forum. All I'm saying is that if I had to pick 10 posts that deserve merit and have none, I wouldn't have picked more than one of Husires'.

In mid-2021, theymos added lots of merit sources, so I doubt you'll get the required attention.

If you'd like a better picture of my merit evaluation, I have included a few topics that have a lot of examples and discussion for exactly that. I generally seek to merit posts that are helpful/informative or contribute something and are under merited.

For convenience, here is a list of posts that were presented to me for review before they had any merit and I decided they were deserving of some -

Granted, these were all evaluated years ago and we have all grown and matured in our usage of the merit system.


I agree with you that there are posts in that thread that are more deserving of merit, but those posts (like Welsh's) have already received an abundance of merit. I am interested in awarding merit to posts that I believe to be woefully under merited; a post with 0 merit that deserves 1 merit is endlessly more under merited than a post with 10 that deserves 15, but maybe that is a perspective born out of merit-scarcity.


I was not aware that I had done that, to be honest - I was mostly concerned about the quality of the post and how under merited I deemed it to be when finalizing my list.

Husires is a good contributing member of our forum, from what I can tell, and is likely on the fast-track to ranking up to Legendary.

Don't teach me how to make decisions

I SAID. Bill Gator is good guy. And I am support this "Merit Source Application" because he is not troll like naim027

We could have a better picture of what you evaluate if you didn't just select topics, solely. For example, in topic=5386927 there have been more merit-worthy posts than the OP, as far as I can judge.

Your choices aren't bad (although I disagree with Husires being selected 6 times), but neither good as a whole.

This is not how you vote people - in general.

I have not seen a single bad word from you, so I vote for you
