By the way this is the point i want to discuss about, at all of these topics , you have to SHOW your history posts not receiving sMerit by making a good post .... So there will be 2 jobs for us : " Making good posts and showing them for people to be merited"..
If you feel this, then it means there is a failure in board moderation, or you have posted your message in the wrong place. Having to post a link to your message in a merit soup kitchen just means that you are cluttering the board with double posting. Also it means that if you are awarded a merit from a charity administrator's sMerits, then that merit costs the forum two sMerits, ( It takes two merit awards to generate one sMerit). That wasted sMerit could have been used to help another member.
