Merit - simple poll on operational fundamentals

[nakamura12]

In my case, It is much the same as the rest that when I merit someone only the smerit is deducted and my merits is unaffected. I never know that someone is creating a thread complaining about their merit being deducted when they send a merit to someone else. Is there any complainant about it? I did not expect that there is someone who voted that his/her merit counter did decreased.

Maybe instead of +Merit button it could be +sMerit?

What I understand at first about the +Merit button is that senders will increase their merit and I don't know which one will be sent if it's your merit or smerits but now I understand it clearly.

Not complaining exactly, but hypothesising on what happens to their Merits (not sMerits) when they hit the +Merit button. I’ve seen two cases very recently, and none were low level ranks, although in all fairness, they weren’t very (s)merited either.

Note: Stray cases from the most voted option in the poll place "OP as not having a clue" second, leading by a tight margin over the other two other stray options. I agree ... after all, I did vote for the "OP seems not to have the fai(n)test idea" option.

Very tricky question @DdmrDdmr !

I voted on I haven't got the faintest idea.


Just a trick to attract more fish's here

Seemingly, there seems to be some recent confusion on this matter, which I figure is recurrent and unavoidable to a certain degree for some. I’ve therefore reopened the poll (serving this posts as a bump).
