I think it's just that people are reluctant to give out merits right now because it's being mixed up with the Trust system.

Either that, or they have too few sMerits and aren't getting so many merits themselves, so they're reasoning that they should only give merits to really, really good posts.

The system is still equilibrating. But as you can see you already have 1 merit... and getting 1 merit when you post mostly 1 or 2-liners is a miracle lol.

So the system works. I bet you'd have 2 merits if your next 40 posts are 60% paragraphs rather than 1-liners

.

Try it

Why don't we understand that it is the merit sources who have the highest number of merits to give each month. There is no need for them to be reluctant in awarding merit points to good posts. Only problem I see here is that the merits in circulation are less than needed. This can be achieved by either increasing the number of merit sources or increasing the number of smerits given to merit sources per month. Second is more easy to implement, finding more honest members for the role of merit sources can be an issue.
