What if people who has a lot of sMerit make another account and send merit to his/her own account to rank up for farming, newbies here like me get hard times to gain merits and it is not fair to newbies like me.
There is a limit to how much merit you can send with your sMerit, which is roughly double your sMerit if you are sending it back and fourth to yourself. So if you are farming merit by sending to yourself, you will eventually run out of sMerit unless you are (colluding with) a merit source, or you are otherwise making posts that others award merit for.
To be exact 10 smerits will generate 17,5 merits in total or in other words 1 smerit will generate 1,75 merits.
The fact that the smerits will run out in closed loop does not mean that this is not a problem.
I understand that there are not a lot of admins here but on other hand if we take in account the wast amounts of money which is generated here in this forum, i cant understand why there cant be more admins or sub-admin paid vacancies and i can imagine that wont be hard to get some extra income from forum in order to be able to afford more " sub-admin" vacancies.
