So there's a limited and decreasing amount of merits? Am I getting it right?
Why on Earth would anybody share some limited asset?
So if I want merits, I should "hunt" the users with sMerits and try to make them like me and my posts?
There are also some Merit sources (special members selcted by Theymos) that receive sMerit "out of nithing" to distribute them to other members. But nobody knows who they are and how much they get.
(Again this is also explained in the linked inforgraphics in the first post....)
