Icopress have said it already, so @5tift should know that each vote is 0.5% which means two votes counts as one
Friends, votes for pizza #114 will have a weight of 0.5 when counting (only those that include merits).
However, it doesn't serve right to merit anyone who votes for you because others will definitely abuse it. Well, it's your merits and you can chose what to do with it, but in a situation like this you shouldn't use merits to get votes.
