By the way, I noticed that the excitement around the dispatch of the merit is somewhat subdued. When the long-awaited merit correction was made, many sources rushed to send their merites, sometimes I even saw 50 merites sent at once in one post. Every month the sources seem to understand that the amount of merit that theymos gave them ... they don't know what to do with it, so every month the number of users who sent more than 1000 merit per month is decreasing:

It is especially difficult for those who used to distribute 200-300, but now a whole 1000 is available. Here, either increase the average amount per post or spend more time looking for posts in other sections. I think that in the future this trend will continue and each merit source will stop at a value that is comfortable for him, which he is able to adequately distribute.

I doubt that you are making any kind of grand revelation, Ratimov.

It seems that there is a wee bit of a pattern that involves a kind of explosion in the amount of smerits that are sent at the time that theymos makes an increase to the smerit allocations of merit sources, and with the passage of time, the amount tappers off...

In other words, nothing to see here in the sense that the same pattern has been known since the first introduction of the smerit system and each time that theymos has made an adjustment (seems to have been an increase in the smerit allocations) each time... How many has he done? Maybe 3-4 adjustments after the initial creation of the merit system?
