@Vod
I have investigated the case, as I said in the previous topic you have locked.
Here is what I found checking the merit database dump file you posted. Quick check in Excel :

My profile ID is > 1291828
I got
142 merit and I have given
51 (the database dump is from
12.04.18)
I have initial
10 merit ( I was a Member when the merit system came).
Now I have the following according to my merit stats in the forum:
You have received a total of 154 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 21 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people.
So somewhere in your calculation there is something wrong. How do you calculate the initial sMerit? .
I was Member when the merit came and apparently I had
1* initial sMerit but now I'm Full Member and if you calculate my initial sMerit based on my current rank (Full member), the calculations will be wrong. Maybe there is the problem.
Lets check my initial sMerit to be sure>
The formula is My total Merit - Initial merit divided by 2 to get the sMerit I got. Then I take out the given sMerit til now and compare the result with my current sMerit.
(154-10)/2=72
We take out the 52 smerit I have sent til now.
72-52=20 so this does not equal to what I have now (21), so my initial sMerit was 1.
*I don't remember how much smerit I had that time, but it seems that I had only 1 based on the calculations.
We need a table with the the initial sMerit for the different ranks.
I would like to help you advertise your project with a link in my signature if you agree. I will also share it on my twitter just to spread the word
