I don't get the point of your topic. Why not send merits to posts you find useful on the forum? Why make it like a competition? Just look at any thread and you'll find many people who give away merits constantly on a daily basis. Just donate to them if you don't know how to use it.
This. I dont see any point in making this a competition. Just spend your sMerits for threads/posts which are useful.
Nevertheless its a serious problem that sMerits are getting hoarded. I think we will need a global solution for this problem, like deceiving sMerits if you dont spend them.
