I just got message from theymos that I'm new merit source!
I'm really grateful for all your suport here, and I promise to continue my mission to support new members on local croatian section to rank up on this forum, by giving merits for good quality posts.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate all your kind words and support here.
You are the best!
I will lock topic now since my applicatio for merit source is accepted, so there is no reason to continue discussion here.

Any update on this? Daniel91 applied over a month ago. It would be nice to see some feedback from admins.
Yeah, but Theymos added a bunch of new merit sources in September, some of whom (like me) didn't even apply. I'm not sure if he's even looking at applications right now or what the deal is as far as adding more sources. I think we do need some more, especially on the local boards but that's up to Theymos.Ok but if this is the case he could add some new ones dont you agree. Think that every Local section should have more then just one. Ok for the small ones with less then 50 pages if there is some but for some its not so good.
I'm not complaining on admin's right to choose new merit sources when and how they want. I'm just surprised that there is no official answer for months. A simple "Yes", "No", or "Not now, submit you application in two months" would be enough.
On this think that it should be with at least some simple answer or at least some new topic in meta with 3, 5, 7 or more candidates for new merit sources and we could have some sort of voting on this topic and believe we could think or consider about this.
Daniel91 as member of this forum deserve this.

I don't quite agree with you there. I think there would be much less merit-begging attempts in Meta if there were more merit sources in the local sections, but I honestly don't know how good the coverage is there since it isn't quite clear who all the merit sources are.

Merit is being distributed properly. If you take a look at the ranked up members, you will learn.Those who are not good at English, the forum has local boards too. Afaik, we doo have some merit sources from various local section and they are active in the local boards too. So, people who are not good at English can post on their respective local board. I do think they will get merit if they become active and post quality content in local.
It is a good thing to add more merit source because we had needed it also because the merit is not being distribtued properly as there is something a littlr bit problem with it for now. I mean the focus of awarding the merit is not yet that good or establish. Probably only those users who had a good English skill can get merit and those probably will be awarded in this section. Yet, I doubt also that theymos will consider adding merit source on local boards for the users there can cheat on giving merit especially if the merit source is not a trusted one.
And you are correct about this. Unfortunately I have no way of judging whether the posts he merited were of high quality or not, since I don't speak the language(s) on the boards he frequents. As long as he's not giving merits for shitposts and doesn't look like he's sending merits to buddies or selling them, that's also to his advantage.
For what it's worth I can also add my assurances regarding Daniel91 distribution of Merit at Croatian local board. He is giving merit to only for good posts (I intentionally wrote good not excellent). And he is usually awarding them with only 1 merit each. This way he actually helps a lot of junior members to get some merit for good, contributing posts and that members doesn't feel pressured to write over elaborate/long/repetitive posts in order to get some extra attention (merit). I believe he helped to make a Croatian board a better place with his service and would love to see him as one of merit sources.
I know, I know, patience is a virtue, but I'm just curious and need to ask 
Will admins announce their decision even if it's negative, or will just leave thread without answer? Daniel91 really deserve do become merit source.

And he will not answer. If Daniel gets accepted he will receive a notice, the rest of us will not know if he doesen't share the news with us. I am expecting quite a long wait since theymos recently added new merit sources. He will probably give it few months before next batch gets promoted/demoted.

As someone who frequents the Croatian board on a regular basis, I can vouch for Daniel given that he has made a real effort to distribute merits to all users who enriched the forum with their quality posts, regardless of seniority, join date or personal connections - just pure post quality.
If there's anybody who deserves to become a merit sourcer, it is Daniel in my opinion.

The fact that the OP has handed out that number of merits to users in some local(croatian)board doesn't qualify him for the post of a merit source,neither does it disqualify him though(also)
Well, in my view it is an advantage as far as his application goes, since it shows he's willing to distribute merits--especially on the local boards where I think merit sources are badly needed. You don't want a merit source who's going to be stingy with his sMerits, right?The most important thing is the quality of the posts being merited

As long as he's not giving merits for shitposts and doesn't look like he's sending merits to buddies or selling them, that's also to his advantage.As I said, it might be a while before Theymos decides to add more merit sources, but I do hope he does anoint some members who give out merits on boards that are "underserved" (for lack of a better term).
OP has given over 100 merits to members in the Croatian forum in the last few months. He deserves a chance to become an official merit source.
Good luck Daniel.

And also scrutinizing the ten posts gathered by the OP to make sure they are merit worthy posts..
Your reputation on the forum as well as positive ratings and rank play a part or two also

Good luck Daniel.
Thank you very much guys for your kind words and encouragement.
I'm really overwhelmed and grateful for such great support and promise that I will continue to help and support you on this forum as much as I can, doesn't matter if I will become merit source or not.
I know that for some of you is difficult to get merit on this forum because your English is not good enough and you don't feel confident to post in English sections of the forum.
I will continue to rewards your efforts to write good quality posts in the local section until the end.
When I spend all my merits I hope that someone else will continue my mission.

[...] Hell, Theymos made me one when not only did I not apply to be a merit source but stated multiple times that I did not want to be one. [...]
ROFL
That having been said; I too think Daniel91 would be a great addition to BCT as a merit sourcer, especially having seen his work in the local Croatian section...
I think you are looking for [TOP-200] The most generous users giving merits
From this list, TMAN is the only merit source with negative trust from DT.
Yes, that's it--thank you. I have my own custom trust list, so TMAN doesn't show up as tagged in red anyway.From this list, TMAN is the only merit source with negative trust from DT.
I think it's time to stop this useless discussion.
You're probably right, but when someone is applying to be a merit source--which has the potential for abuse--I think it's appropriate to have a discussion about how trusted the applicant is. Now I don't know all the details of what went on between you and iluvbitcoins, but you've both presented your arguments, and I don't think the issue should be enough to disqualify you from being a merit source. That's just my opinion, however, and as I said previously it doesn't come down to a vote when merit sources get selected. Hell, Theymos made me one when not only did I not apply to be a merit source but stated multiple times that I did not want to be one.And I'll reiterate that I'm not sure when Theymos is going to start looking for new merit sources again. It might be a while, so be patient.
Daniel91 has already done a great job in our local Croatian board, I am grateful
Wish him all the best with this application, cause I believe that becoming a merit sourcer, users from our local board will be rewarded for their hard work on this forum, helping newbies and other users solving daily issues
Our local board deserves this
Best regards

What could YOU possibly forgive me?
What have I done that has in any way harmed you??
You’re not going to ask for a refund from me! HA!
A refund for what??
I was sending money, not receiving it!
What the hell are you even talking about?
