People, the few non-spammers that don't post in such sections at all but post in the spam boards, unfortunately don't get merits, because other people have given up on reading anything there.

This is the main reason why people aren't getting their posts merited--the only good sections of bitcointalk IMO are Meta and Reputation. Everything else is just a spam-fest, and even if you wanted to post in sections like Bitcon Discussion, there's no point. Anything you post is just going to get buried within seconds. I posted a question about Changelly dropping Dash in Altcoin Discussion, and I actually wanted someone to answer it. Guess what happened? Nobody answered, probably because nobody even saw the question. It was only after I started a new thread in Exchanges that someone answered it.

There's not enough merit sources to be sure, but I think the awarding of merits tends to poop out near the end of each month. If I'm not mistaken, merit sources get new allocations of smerits at the beginning of each month. They probably use them up before the month is over. That's my guess, anyway.

No, it's a rolling replenishment, i.e.g today you'd get back the sMerits you spent 30 days ago, and so on.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I could swear I saw Vod or Jet Cash posting that their smerit supply got replenished at the beginning of each month. Wouldn't be the first time I misread something.
