Perhaps an alternative solution, should theymos choose to do nothing, is for a merit source (or merit sources) to create "mini-merit sources", where said merit sources monthly sends 50 merits to everybody on this list, who will then have 25 smerits each to merit other users.

It is worth noting that 25 smerits is much less than the 100 smerits minimum that theymos assigns merit sources, so I don't think one merit source can do this by himself.
