whether how easy or complex this can be, only @PowerGlove can tell us.

You can ask theymos first because the head admin did some demerit transactions in the past.

First, check the announcement of merit system.

There is currently no such thing as a "demerit". I'm hoping that the positive merits alone will be fine. I could add demerits pretty easily later on if necessary, though.

Next, I can inform you that theymos did some demerit transactions when community reported abuse of one or two merit sources (I can not not member names of these merit sources).

Search here with deMerit for the account used by theymos for this purpose. Note that it was rebroadcasted to demerit in very early weeks or months since merit system kick-off.

I posted about it in 2020

For users who are curious about the -44 merit transaction, there are 17 transactions like that (with negative amount of merit), according to the last Friday merit data dump by theymos.

Details:

  neg merit | 17 0.00 0.00
  pos merit | 369,275 100.00 100.00
------------+-----------------------------------
   Total | 369,292 100.00

For negative merit transactions only

There are some very special cases that get demerit activities from theymos
