3. Going a bit further in time and we have 35 forum members getting 100 sMerit each a month, a total of 3500.
Some get more than that per month, some get less.
Also, the sMerit from merit sources does not accumulate nor does it go to the merit sources' own merit. Basically each merit source can give away only up to X amount every 30 days. If that X has not been spent in those 30 days, then the unspent sMerit are gone.
