And the duration for these smerits to be labeled unused should be 1months to keep the community members engaged.

The idea isn't bad but the time of smerits expiry should be significantly longer at least 3 months (maybe even more - 6 months) rewarding with merits it's not a race we should have enough time to choose a right recipient - that applies especially to people who have little smerits to give away or starting their journey with merit system....

I just quickly gone through with merit dashboard and found out that there are 44 Hero members still didn't sent any sMerit from their initial airdrop of 1000 Merits and also there are 44.133 Merits (around 22K sMerits) hoarding by those 44 Hero Members alone.

When I compared only hero members (at the time of introducing merit system) who have ever "earned" a merit with hero members who ever give at least one merit away i found 430 Legendary, 306 Hero users and 508 Senior users who "earned" merit but never sent any away.

You also forgot, that there are only users who has recieved or sent at least one merit in dashboard. That means, you won't see there users many thousands of users (if there are 50%-80% ranked users have never get a single merit probably at least a similar percentage did not send them either)

Rank	number of users	number of users received at least 1 merit	number of users with who didnt earn any merit
Full Member	18 181	3 173 (17,45%)	15 008 (82,55%)
Sr. Member	9 016	1 818 (20,16%)	7 198 (79,84%)
Hero Member	4 143	1 105 (26,67%)	3 038 (73,33%)
Legendary	2 145	1 133 (52,82%)	1 012 (47,18%)

this case there are probably a dozen or even tens of thousands of users who froze their smerits, what could make even several hundred thousand of frozen merits. Some of them are probably dead souls (users who abonded BTT in 2017 or 2018) but large part of them simply doesen't care merit system.

I found one more interesting thing:
I've read that at the start of merit system there were 57 merit sources, today i checked 57 most active merit givers and found such numbers:

16 users sent away more than 1.000 smerits
17 users sent away 501 - 1.000 smerits (we have @theymos in this group - I doubt that he has chosen himself as merit source but he didn't have to as long he has received more than 2.800 merits)
24 users sent away 323 - 500 smerits

so last from the list of 57 users gave 323 merits if the system works 269 days (data stored from 2018.01.24 - 2018.10.19) it makes only 1,2 merit be day from this source while the first from the list gave away 6.266 merits what makes 23,29 merits per day. It's a huuuge difference - I'm wonder why?
I understand that probably the lower limit has not been set but 1 merit a day per merit source is rather poor result (I'm also sure that some of first 57 users aren't merit source at all - they gave away their "own" merits what makes this situation even worse)....
