I guess if the post is really deserving it is not an abused of the system anyhow in my personal opinion if I was going to merit somebody if I see he gain more than 100 merits already to his post I won't add anymore I will give it to other deserving persons who need it.
Yes, I think you can really see point with me. People make good post that deserves to be merited but once you come across such post that normally you think it need to be merit but occasionally the post already has a good merit I think no need to add more to it they are more other way to acknowledge a post aside from merit.
I get the point but why do you have to base your giving of merits to the number of merits a certain post already received? Why not base it on the quality of the post itself? I know we have our own standard but if You think a post is good, You can always merit it regardless if it has been merited by others or not.
