If I were you, I would not do that, giving away merit is an objective matter for every person, whenever we see a worthy article, we can ~~post it~~ send merit, it may be random. However, it may be one, maybe 10, it doesn't matter, it should not be restricted Wink

There are always special cases when you give more than your max daily cap (if you set yours) but I still believe it is better to have a max daily cap.

whenever I see posts from you, it will be statistics, analysis, calculations and data, ... WHY??? Huh

I am stat enthusiast and not all of my posts or threads are related to statistics. See Cheesy

We are human, let's act based on our emotions and thoughts, don't work like a robot, figures are not everything, there are no rules here.

Statistics are not everything on the forum but theymos (the core admin) has to rely on statistics (from his own algorithms) in order to make changes or improvements on the forum.

I do neither attack OP (cabalism13) nor the Pilipinas local board (I visited that board sometimes and gave some of my merits to their locals as well). Statistics I gave above disclose the fact that board is one of the most active local boards on the forum.

To decide adding new merit sources or increase monthly sMerits for each or some specific current merit sources in that board, I don't know it will become true or not.

I do neither know how many merit sources are in that board nor how many sMerits allocated for it monthly. Those figures compared to those figures of the whole forum make sense for any potential changes.

In total, the forum has:

98 merit sources
21671 sMerits allocated monthly

To be honest, I didn't understand how we could calculate the amount of sMerit we get

There are two available services for you:

[TELEGRAM BOT] Merit, Trust List, etc. [INFORMATION]
Unofficial service to get your total merits in the last 120 days (I am not a bot, so you do need me online to fill your request).

But it is unnecessary to use those services just to know how many sMerits you have left. Let's click on the merit button and you will be directed to a page, on which you will find your available sMerits. Cheesy
