So, we have actually only destroyed about 1.2k earned merit. Yes, that's a lot of airdropped merit to lose, but honestly, I don't see that as a problem if the users are deserving of their ban.

Just to clarify - despite the sensationalist headline I don't think that's a problem at all. I just would have expected this to have happened a long time ago (i.e. ban-deserving airdropped merits getting banned out) but apparently this is still a thing 8 months in. And after all this whining about how hard it is to earn merits you'd think they would be trying harder to hold on to high-ranked accounts.

Well, most of it is airdrop too but still

So taking your numbers, and saying that airdropped merits were 10/100/250/500/1000 for ranks Member through Legendary, the amount of airdropped merit destroyed is

Code:

(10*150)+(100*93)+(250*30)+(500*8)+(1000*1) = 23300

So, we have actually only destroyed about 1.2k earned merit. Yes, that's a lot of airdropped merit to lose, but honestly, I don't see that as a problem if the users are deserving of their ban.

Is this counting the "airdropped" merits like the 500 I started for being a hero, or just "airdropped" smerits that were sent to these accounts?

I think this data would be most useful if it didn't count the accounts base merits they started with..

The 23300 is airdropped merits (not sMerits) like your 500. The other 1.2k is earned merits since the introduction of the merit system. There is no easy way to find out how many sMerits everyone had at the time of their ban, if that's what you're after.
