Only devs and admins should have smerit and they should reward it to the people making appropriate posts.
Devs? You sound like the type of person who labels anyone who's high-ranked or has a position of authority on bitcointalk as a "dev". I don't get this.
That is how some twitbook hunters calls their bounty manager. I think it stand for
developer or they have another meaning for it. I found some in ANN threads and bounties when I was reporting lately and I also used to call bounty managers "dev" before when I was a noob spammer
