Tables of users with the most merits earned (more than 1500 merits)

It gets even better when you realize theymos is the only one who airdropped 1000 Merit on himself

Lol, that's right. 

I think it’s part of the human nature: you tend to gather with the people you like the most. Of course, as a merit source, I try to spread my merit network as much as I can, but in the end, everyone of us has their own “inner circle”.

As long as it's relevant and up to the quality, I hope it's fine. Having more users for merit distribution might be better because it will help the system achieve more of its goals. But I believe when the same user makes decent posts then I don't think we should ignore them regardless they already have 1000 or 10,000 merit.

The ultimate goal is merit circulation, sending them to people who are willing to distribute them generating more merits in their turn.
I "burnt" some merits sending them to Satoshi or Hal, but this is an exception on my habits, and I recommend everyone limiting this kind f tribute to our idols.

I think you are the first person who thinks similarly to me when it comes to meriting those who are part of the system and not just hoarders. Before I merit someone I don't know, I take a quick look to see if the person is both a sender and receiver of merits. I have turned down meriting several posts if I notice that the users don't have a habit of rewarding other people. Some say it is wrong, and one person even considers it merit abuse. It makes sense to me, and that's all that matters.

There are of course exceptions to my meriting methods, but no reason to go into detail about that right now.

If you're limited on sMerit, I don't blame you. But if you're a Merit source that can barely empty it's source, it doesn't matter if you send it to someone who doesn't forward it. If I don't empty my source, it doesn't get replenished. I could call myself a sMerit hoarder by now.

If you normally send 1 per post, you can do 2 per post. Or 5, 10, 20... You can go back and merit posts you merited in the past. Some merit sources do that. It happens that you get merited for things you wrote 1 year ago by the same person who merited you at that time.

I could call myself a sMerit hoarder by now.

I am sure you have 3 or 4 times the source merit allocation that I have, so I am not surprised you have difficulties emptying those source bags and then having to distribute your own sMerits. You distribute merits, whether they are sMerits or your source merits is of no importance to me. You can't be considered a hoarder just because you never get to touch your sMerits. 

You would be a hoarder if the sent merit summary on your profile was empty.



But in your case, it isn't. Much merits. Great sendings.
