You are getting a PhD in Econ? Great! Then how about you stop spamming off-topic replies in Support and start adding high quality commentary in the Economics community and get your REP up high in that community and have an increased ability to determine what is relevant? It is NOT the admins job to determine relevance. We are mainly in a community to down vote spam and distribute REP. Ultimately the system will move towards ever greater decentralization. The system is also set up an a rolling average, so even if admins were highly inactive (we are not), within less than a week a much lower score would lead to payout.
