Merits are nor moderated and people can send their merits away in any way they see fit. That’s as long as they don’t trade their for something else in return. That’s the only rule we have for merit usage atm. Other than that, theymos can remove the inactive merit sources from being merit sources or reduce their merit allocation.

Long story short; As long as people don’t trade their merits, we can’t do anything about it.

You might try to distrust or ignore people that spends their merits foolishly but then you won’t have anybody to read probably.
