Anything that is possible, it takes a mathematical base and speed to do calculations "or a computer that does it for you."
A. Know the number of available sMerits:
- You have initial sMerit that can be calculated using this equation[1] plus 1/2 sMerit for each earned merit.
- Add members to the merit sources if the number of sendable merits is greater than the number of the above.
B. Check the latest activity and set a time constraint for a period of time.
C. Make calculations.

Might be an interesting research to find out why they are hodling their merits and why they feel that not a single post on the forum is worth meriting.
Do not worry about knowing why? they will lose it soon. "I expect this to happen in less than two months"
I'll probably publish a dump of the initial sMerit at some point.
