Merit can be sent to someone else ?
You can merit a post by sending a Smerit
how does this work ?
Sending Smerit (sendeable merit) to someone post will not deduct your current merit but it will deduct to your Smerit.
Follow up to what has Jannn said, you can merit a post by sending a Smerit. But for you to get a Smerit to send users for their posts, you need to have someone to send you a merit first by making quality/informative/constructive posts.
