Smerits are obtained when a user merits you and you receive half of that merit as Smerit, which you can also send out. If that is how merit and Smerit function, what happens when everyone in the forum distributes all of their Smerits?
1. Nothing happens
2. Smerits cannot be exhausted at the same time for all members
3. We have Merits sources, that's their function, to distribute merits to quality post
4. The more you post and give your best the expected way for a quality post the more you're liable for receiving merits.
Because, as a result of this process, the Smerits will one day be exhausted by everyone. But the merit distribution system continues to function; how is this possible?
Smerits will not finish as long as Theymos continue with the monthly allocation to meirts sources, yours can finish if you did not work hard to earn more and I don't think Theymos is going to cancel the whole system because there's a need why it was introduced, he will always reimburse merits sources every month and the merits sources merits quality posts and it all continues like that.
