Yeah. I highly appreciate your generosity and your thread to announce about sMerits give away event for bitcointalk forum users. However, I don't really think that sort of campaign will help to build up better community, better users for the forum, generally. Why? In my point of view, it might be better if we can have events/ contests to motivate users to be more constructive in the forum through their threads and topics. That is also suitable with the original objectives of merit system.
Thanks and take it easy, it is simply  my thoughts.
