How can we get merits from others since I never got any and dont know how to send or receive.

Now, you know how easy to get sMerit. Just kidding, lol. It's hard than you think, but you can make it.

I gave you one smerit - which is a merit for you merely based on your activity level of 48 - since we are in the early days of transition into this new system.

If someone else gives you another merit, then you will have one sendable merit (2 x 50% = 1).

This is my discussion on other side of merit system, despite the fact that I strongly believe in the good things this one can do for the forum.

Connecting the dots, improving over time, then getting sMerits!

It is likely traded sMerits between those two, nothing more. That is why the system is partially unfair at the moment.

There are lots of traded/ exchanged sMerits between users (in or out of the forum). Those ones will be ranked up sooner than others, despite what others say. After that, what will happen with those ones? Keep spamming the forum with shitty-posts. I guess so.

For those who are trying to post high-quality threads, but their threads missed attention (we can not refuse that higher-level users won't read all the posts in the forum, then choose and give those deserved ones their sMerits. It's only happen by chances, they read by chances) will drop far behind.

I think positively about what merit system can bring to our forum. However, it should be corrected with new rules, new adjustments from Theymos.
