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 you are absolutely correct!
Merits source spending doesn't accumulate, immediately that month passes then source decays or disappear. The next month they starts with new allocation and it comes right back when exactly they spent it on the previous month. So, if his allocation is just 100 so it would remain 100 every month without increasing or decreasing.
