I think it would be a good idea to make available to everyone information about sMerit, this would stimulate users to get rid of it, since those who have a lot of it will look like greedy.

If you mean making it public how much sMerit a user has then I would have to disagree with you on that. There's two main reasons why I would be against this. Firstly, anyone who has sMerit which hasn't been sent yet would likely be targeted by merit hunters, and be sent messages begging them for merit. Just as we see certain users sending messages to merit sources begging for merit.

Secondly, in would add unwarranted pressure on those that haven't found any posts to merit yet. I would rather someone take their time in merited quality posts instead of meriting any post that they come across. This is one of the reasons why I'm against decaying merit also. It just isn't needed, and users shouldn't be forced into meriting if they don't want too.

There's already a message stating that hoarding sMerit has no real benefit, and I think that should be enough.
