As far as i understand, everyone who currently has merit, is able to give out a part of his merit in the form of sMerit. for example if you have 94sMerit, does this makes you a "source"

Merit-sources know that they merit-sources. They are assigned by the administrator. Their sMerit are replenished in the number regardless of the number of their own merit, which they received. Therefore, if you have 94 sMerit, this doesn`t mean at all that you`re the merit-source. This situation may be in case you received 188 merit (188\2 = 94)

The below message has been posted previously, but I suppose that it might not hurt to repeat it, especially when some peeps don't read (or want to read) this thread, as Speculatoross mentioned.

When a merit source prepares to send an smerit a quote, something like the below one is at the top of the source's page:

>>>>>>>>>You have received a total of xxxx merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have xxxx sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

You are a merit source. The next xxx merit you spend will come from your source rather than your sMerit balance. Merit spent from your source will come back in 30 days. Unused source merit is wasted. It is not allowed for merit sources to sell their merit.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
