Please i have a few question on the merits system
Is it possible for a user as a newbie to send merits?
If yes, How many?
You can't, because a newbie means you have never received merit and it means you don't have sMerit because from 1 merit you get then you will have 0.5 sMerit and you must at least get 2 Merit to be able to send Merit to other members
and how many can you receive as a Newbie?
1 Merit is enough to make your rank up to Jr. Members
other things are quite fully explained by veteran members in this thread
