Re: Importance Of Merit Sources || Why do we need merit Source?
But for those merit holders who are still active in this forum, it is very unfortunate to know they don't care about spending their sMerit. Well, they may think they have no obligation to send their sMerit, but what's the purpose of holding it? No worth of holding sMerit, it is not BTC. 
Ordinary users (not merit sources) don't have an obligation to send those sMerits so there is nothing wrong with those users who don't. Maybe they don't have the time or just don't care about the merit system.
I've got no problem with those so-called merit hodlers. Everyone's got their own opinion of the system and no one is required to participate in it, so I wouldn't be quick to lay a guilt trip on them. Just my opinion.
Zaktly.
This is a discussion forum. All those extra trinkets like merits etc are great for those who care but I'd take one contributing non-spamming merit-hoarding member over 3000000 account-farming merit-hunting spammers any day.
