Let's see this as an advantage.
If theymos sends 100 smerits to him per month and his inactive for 8 months. It means he will have 800 smerits, so whenever he appears online, he will still spend them. So, there's no problems with this. It is just a delay and not denial.

no

those monthly merits go away afrer 30 days if not sent. so after 8 months he will still only have 100 smerits

Yeah, Smerit operates differently when it’s earned from when it’s loaded on merit sources from Theymos. When it’s loaded, it comes with a 30days decay period where, whatever you spent is replenish on the same day you spent it in the following month. When you haven’t spent nothing, then you haven’t got nothing to be replenish and there is no accumulations to it. You just have the number you were allocated and that’s it, it stays optimum.

Merit source is a huge responsibility for those who take up the role, it’s not paid for and still they are required to carry out this role of staying active, going through several posts and accrediting merit to the deserving ones. New sources were recently created after over 5years of pending applications so, some of the inactive ones in today could be excused for not being so active. I get it that the role requires of them to be active but, fire dies down after years of waiting and besides, a month has little significance to over 4years of waiting in line.

Give it the time it needs and if it’s necessary, there would be a reshuffling of the sources and even more sources could be created. @OP, you are not wrong for your observation and raising your concerns on expectations but then, just understand that there are circumstances that would require some users to be more present elsewhere.
