the Forum administrator can derived a means to retrieve sMerits from accounts BEFORE BANNING. my opinion to reduce Merit lost.

Forum Admin can create as many Merit as he wants. Merit isn't scarce.

Based on your characterization of the situation, LoyceV, I hate to observe that smerits seem to be based on a system that is resembling ethereum than bitcoin - which is that the forum system can print smerits as liked - so forum members (or even members of the public) are never going to know how many smerits are going to be in existence - for example, 10 years from now? Cry

By the way, I agree with the overall point, that even though there can be aspects of decentralization in a forum like this, with current systems, it would be quite imprudent (and perhaps irresponsible) for any owner to completely decentralize such a system.
