Stalking quoted for record. My understanding is that you were/are asking for spendable merit :-P
Nop, merit.spendable merit
No problems that I can see asking Theymos for a sMerit topping-up. I had to do it once myself when I ran out of source and earned sMerits. Since then I've been a bit conservative about handing them out, along with the ever-present problem of actually finding good posts to merit.
I usually run out of merits immediately after I receive them. It sucks to click "merit" button, knowing there should be few merits and it says 0 merit. And tomorrow I want to merit post which I couldn't and again, it says 0 merit. And third day I get 2 merits, I spend them, see good post and again I have to wait day or two to get, I don't know, 1 or 2 merits.
