total sum received by 10 users = 636 merit = 61% from just 10 persons all (except 2 part of the top 200).
"received by" or "received from"? Kinda hard to follow what you're trying to say there. It's not like The Pharmacist can choose who to receive merit from.
Merit do stay in the top 100 / 200 / 300 call how yo want.
The same way merit doesn't really cross boards. Merit earned in meta stays in meta.
I have seen some members that on spend all their meta received merit in their national board trying to help merit-deserving members to get the recognition that is very often just to hard to get.
Just like cryptohunter, you forgot to post a list of those "merit-deserving members". Multiple merit sources have stated that they would be happy to send merit to those deserving users.
You also seem to be thinking that merits sent within Meta or within top 200 prevent other users from being merited. That's not how it really works. Merits are not scarce. We are sending
less than 50% of the
total capacity per month.
