I don't understand the concept of Smerit or the incentive to receive or how to receive them or what reason there is to Send one to someone. I received 2 Smerit and Sent one to someone who helped Me is that the purpose bit confused about this?
Yes, you're exactly right. And you spent your sMerit exactly the way its supposed to be used. You need merits to rank up in the Bitcointalk world (and Activity). You will be a Jr Member any day now. Next rank after that is Member, Full Member, Senior Member, etc. (Jet Cash probably described it well in his... website about merit??? wow).
I've only received 1 smerit in my life.
