E.g. of company (brother, sister, cousin, friend, parent etc.)
Having sMerit and sending it to my company is my decision since it's my sMerits to give. Why some members give me a negative trust for accusing my account and my cousin's account whose mentoring me in this forum an alternate account? We live in the same roof and using the same bandwith of internet. There's nothing in the rules said that you can't merit your company instead you can send merit to anyone you like.
You mean "brother", "sister", "cousin", "friend", "parent" etc? These are usually just the tired excuses people come out with time and time again. True, there is nothing in the rules about it but there is nothing in the rules against scamming but that doesn't mean the community doesn't frown upon it. I also really don't care even if you are truly brothers, sisters, cousins, friends etc as merit isn't something that is just meant to be passed between friends and family for shitposts. It's meant to reward quality posts and you're just abusing it to try cheat the system and rank up. So no, merit shouldn't be given to your friends or family members; it should be given to reward people for quality contributions to the forum.
