Very nice work, I'm particularly excited about what this can do in terms of finding those who trade merit between their alt accounts. I think this highlights something that I've been saying for the longest while, there needs to be a better system to distribute merits, the bulk of the forum has received between 1 and 9 merits since the merit system was introduced months ago. Its clear that there is a need for more merit sources. Deteriorating the sMerit of those who are refusing to send them would be a good way to increase merit distribution.
This merit system has good intentions for the forum but as a general user I find it hard to get the merits. Even on posts which are good I have not recieved merits. I think Merit sources should be more.
Some suggestion from the source point:
1/ Giving merit to the USER who reports USERs who are abusing the forum like sending merits between themselves.
2/ Airdropping the merits from the smerits which depreciated bcz they were not sent to the users>>>It can be distributed based on the ratios or can be random.
