Am I a merit hoarder ?

At the time the system was put in place I wasn't very active, I got 500 merit, but I don't know how many sMerits I got. At the moment I have a bit over 80 sMerits. I give them out, I'm just not trying to empty my stash (hodler mentality I guess). If I continue like that will some of them be "lost" or not ?

Thanks for the advice.

I think not take a look at this qoute below,

There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

Meaning that smerits are still there and it is up to you whether to send or not.

You can try to check your smerits by clicking the merit button and you can see your smerit balance

You have (X) sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people.

Giving merits means giving other the chance to rank up. Sad to say that not all will going to rank and it will depend on the user on how he will going share input that could be helpful to the forum or to the users. Most cases legend rank users were always helpful because of their knowledge, skills and experience here in the forum. Most of the time their posts are merited posts for its quality and they had high number of smerits. The good thing is that these users too are generous to low rank users. I myself were able to rank up and learn much because of them.
