To join the previous list, you had to send the amount of sMerits which is much more than the amount of merits you received.
For you to send more smerit than earned merit that means you have to be a merit source or hoard smerit received from current month and then merit user in the next month so your smerit sent will be more than your merit receive that doesn't sound fair to me and as for the merit sources aspect, it is more of a duty. Don't you think the formula needs reviewing?
