So questions is-
-Are all merit sources have same smerit generation?
-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?
In my understanding drawn from what I have read from many merits sources in many threads, they do not have the same smerit allocation, and some users' monthly smerits could be so much while others could be annoyingly low. The reason is best known to theymos, but upon request with evidence of usage of the ones you were given, I think he can adjust the allocation based on his discretion.
As for being a lifetime merit source, I think it is possible if you maintain a good membership/reputation and do not renege from the reason why you were given. But of course, if you are no longer active on the forum, what is your worth? For this, such a user's merit source status may be withdrawn.
There are other offences which may not be plain that could cost users their merit source status as well. So it could be slightly similar to that of the DTs but not as rampant as them.
True, sMerits are allocated to merit sources based on the scalabilties and the efforts of members in a particular board which merit source is situated upon to spread sMerits base on the effort ness thriving of members quality posts which is prioritized to the goal of the platform.
And being a sMerit source can be determined by members reputations the effort ness being contributed also prioritizing of the primary aim of the forum. So, if a reputable member deviates from his Worth in the forum, the trust in the sMerits source can be withdrawn from him.
In as much time forum isn't a personal owned firm and not a government firm to say we can always stay here until retirement or doing how we want, trust can always be declined on any negative attitudes of members.
