We know that forum has total 109 merit sources and as this
info total Smerit generation of up to 32990 in a month.
These are current figures which are different than past ones and will be different in future.
-Are all merit sources have same smerit generation?
No.
Because if they have same source sMerit, their sent merit numbers would not be too different even they will have different active times in the forum to read, post or distribute sourced sMerit.
-Another question is once a merit source can be a lifetime merit source? Or is it also pick and drop system like DT¹
member election?
No. If they turn to be inactive, scam or abuse sourced sMerit, their merit source role will be removed by theymos. Removed positions can be replaced by theymos, or not, it depends on his view on stats of merit distributions over boards from forum data base.
