received "only" 964 merits from Ratimov

I don't think you're helping your case by looking at Merit amounts without looking at the posts. Theymos says to complain to him:

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me.

Restore your Trust list (with at least 10 users), and you can be selected for DT1 and mean something for DT2 again.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about that I had a misunderstanding about. Well, let me think about it. I suppose if the DT system is going to exist, however shattered it is, I probably ought to attempt to help make sure bad things don't happen.

That's the idea

The previous Trust system wasn't perfect, the current system isn't perfect either, but I get that theymos wants to keep his hands off as much as possible. So it's up to us.

I don't see much strength in this argument. You are almost Legendary only with the merits that fillippone has given you and something similar happens with 1miau, besides they are the two favorite profiles of yours to send sMerit to. At a lower level, the same happens to me with LoyceV

As a Merit source, this really doesn't matter much. The whole point of being a Merit source is sending them to decent posts, and if users posts on board you read frequently, they're more likely to receive them. I've seen "slacking" again, it keeps piling up so I need to send more!

happens to me with LoyceV, thanks to whom I ranked up to Sr member.

That's the thing with Merit: for the receiver, it (often) means a lot. I didn't even remember it (until I read back your quote). I've sent 45k sMerit, and as long as the user isn't a terrible spammer, I'm happy with it.

You could also apply that ironic tone to these cases, saying that fillippone and 1miau are your masters, just as mine would be LoyceV.

So being the top most Merit sender makes me the largest slave owner on Bitcointalk? Allow me: go free!
