Please, I am not in any way disputing your suggestions but I just gave my honest review and overview towards this, so I didn't say anyone should make me their personal enemy or even redtag me for dispute what they had suggested on the forum, like I know, the forum is a free place for people to give their opinion and general contributions.

No one should red tag anybody for making any suggestion.  Smiley   I could suggest I get all the smerit - doesn't mean you risk losing money with me; I'm just lazy!
Yes that is right and of course I wouldn't lose anything for make my own points.

The Merit system was introduced to reduce spam, including spam from account farmers. What you're proposing would give account farmers all the sMerit they need to rank up by spamming, and I don't think anyone wants to go back there.

What if the community decides Legendary members get sMerit based on recent six month activity?  How does that give account farmers the sMerit they need to rank up by spamming?     No one wants to go back there, but we need an overhaul.  Suggest something.

I believe the merit system is fine, but merit distribution isn't fair.

Your suggestion does not address that - you suggest change to already distributed smerit.

Well, to me I don't think this also changes anything here. For example, someone could be active for 6 months or 1 years that doesn't means that such person has improved in their post quality or add any meaningful contribution to the forum but what? Ended up being a bunch of spammer and at the end Smerits are credited to their profile for being active right? What does this count to you encouraging what the forum are still fighting to eliminate or what? Sincerely, the system is enough and anyone who is that active and creative would definitely earn merits to get to the next rank that is all.
