Also Forum users have right to keep their sMerits. There are no point to do that, but you simply can't force users to spend their sMerits.
And it's not only problem of low ranked members. There are thousands of higher ranked members who haven't even spent any of their airdropped sMerits, despite that more than a year passed since release of Merit system. And then people are complaining that's difficult to get erit, merit sources aren't giving out enough merits and etc.
As a high ranked member, I also blame myself for not giving out enough sMerits. Sometimes I just too lazy to do that, I know, it's bad. Now I have more than enough sMerits available, I should spend it more actively...
Correct me if am wrong I don't think smerit where attached to air dropped merit
Well if you where giving it's only right to give it out. And am not forcing anyone(even if I where it would still not make some to do so) am just raising awareness some members don't do it deliberately but have not really been drawn to this attention.
Well I hope the message is passed and not twisted. Spending smerit is making the purpose to which it was created working. And the ecosystem of the forum would benefit immensely.
PS. Avoid abusing merit
