In a row - like consecutive posts? Same user? Give until you run out or until you hit the 50 merit limit, as long as you think the posts are worthy

It doesn't mean that every not-totally-shitty post must get a merit. Obviously merit sources and other merit senders will prioritize. It's just that I don't think we can really run out of posts to merit.

Everyone needs to find their balance between how many posts they can read without stressing out and how many merits they need to send, and if they don't bring their sMerits to 0 then they need to increase their sending per post or lower the bar below "Shakespeare".
