You never really explained how giving someone merit also gives them sMerit.

Yeah agreed. OP, I can't give you merit until you update the graphic, sorry! :P

hi,

Thanks for the inforgraphic. However, it might be better if you can draw a cycle of Merits-sMerits, by which I mean the mechanism of merit system in our forum.

Good idea. I added a sample chart to the infographic.

I can't find anywhere definitive answer on what happens if people are trying to abuse Merit system (i.e. sell Merit, trade merit etc.).

I understand with natural 50% decay, it's a system pretty hard to easily abuse therefore it will inevitably become a thing that will be traded. The question is: what are the expected consequences?

I'm sure nobody want to become target of a ban hammer just because he merited his alt once or twice, so It's good to know the rules, right?

I'm still not certain of the legality of selling & trading merit myself. It's presumably frowned upon, but I don't know if it's outright prohibited.

Hi, you can add my German version (link/image) in you OP if you like, as not all who speak German frequent the local forum  :)
The sentence below translates to 'Here is a German version'.

That's awesome. We should make a thread for all of the merit infographics.
