Lists of non merit sources that got to 5000 merits

[ineedhelpplease]

I heard something that merits deplete. Do they actually? And how often do they like "decay" or "deplete"? Anyone know a set rate?

they deplete when you give them away.

I do not know if anyones have been decayed.

I suspect if they do decay the member may be idle for a long time and they take them.

AFAIK there's no rule, set, overdue about decay on unused sMerit, no one have complained if the amount of their sMerit decreased, so sMerit decay isn't happen yet.

There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

In addition what philipma1957 was saying, if you send your sMerit, the total Merit you have wouldn't decreased. So you don't have to worry if you want to send your sMerit.

Thanks mate, yeah I will only look at the tables. However, to be honest, I didn't really wanna know who the merit sources are, but rather who is called a merit source. Anyway, thanks for the info.

Lol...I hope you have gotten the gist correctly by now?

But another thing that you might still be mistaken about is the profile picture you are wearing. No one will penalise you for it but I don't think it's entirely right.

Don't you know it's for the merit-circling club? The image is actually for the merit sources if I am correct, not those who only have the sMerits and who have the grace of sending it to others. Since you already know the difference between sMerits and Merit sources themselves, I believe you should conclude now if you are still willing to wear the image or not.

Thanks, but everything is under control:

Although, the receiver can't know that the merits he/she receives are from a merit source's monthly allocation or from sMerits that he/she has earned because of his/her contribution.

That's correct. And you don't even know if the person meriting you is a merit source or a regular user, nor does it matter for your personal merit count. 1 merit is 1 merit, regardless from which bag it comes. Whether they are sMerits or source merits, one isn't worth more than the other, and you still need a specific number to progress to the next rank in the line.

The merits your receive from someone remain attached to your profile unless theymos takes them away. The source merits that merit sources receive are valid for 30 days. If they aren't allocated during that time, they get removed/they expire only to be replaced with the same count for the next one-month allocation period.

What will you benefit from this list, because there are already similar lists?

Today is obviously the day of stupid questions because they are all over the forum and really don't make any sense. What on earth does it matter whether someone has earned 5000 merits, and whether or not he is merit source - he won't assign merits to himself (nor can he even if he wants to).

I guess OP was just feeling too much excitement as he or she is approaching a mile stone of 1000 merit, and he is probably thinking too much about the merit system and how and when he can actually get to 5000 merit in the future. OP already knows the total number of merit sources in the forum, so it would still have been very easy for him to figure out some members on the forum who have about 5,000 merit but are non-merit sources.

I heard merit sources are like hidden, not announced by staff and can be found through community investigation or by admittance, so what you are trying to find may be a little difficult or inaccurate.

I've seen a couple of high merit users but I'm unsure if they're part of the merit source club or not. I would post these users here in this thread, but for that reason my observations may not be accurate unfortunately. Or they could already be posted too which is another factor, since I'm really late to this thread.

Also, 5,000 merits is actually respectable and takes alot of determination, contribution and hard work. Very commendable to those users who actually made it that far. Has a non merit source reached over 10k that isn't a former staff or current staff for this forum?

[criptoevangelista]

Merits really are rare, but I, for example, find it very difficult to earn them, but participating in the forum things flow naturally.

It's a marathon, not a 100 meter sprint. It's a privilege to be here, the standard is high most of the time.

The opportunity to interact without the amount of nonsense you have on regular social media is the great value here.

2. For every 2 merits I receive, I can send 1 merit. Does this change over time?

Not until now.

Wait, what?  Did I miss something or are you busting apogio's cubes?  I've been unconscious for the past 20 hours and am still groggy from the coma-like sleep.  The last time that happened and I missed something big was in 2018 when the merit system was created.  Oh, what a week/month/year that was!  If anyone wants some interesting reading, check out the posts in Meta from Jan. 2018.  The whole section was on fire.

I'm a merit source, for anyone who wants to check me off their list.  I've said that enough times, though, that anyone who's interested in knowing who's a source should have done so already.  And it was smart of Theymos not to make that list public, lest sources get inundated with PM requests for merits or get stalked all over the place (which I still see happening).

Hey buddy, what does that mean? "Busting my cubes"? 

Oh btw, as I said multiple times, I don't really care who the merit sources are, but I wanted to know the definition.

And to be honest, I think it's unethical to ask for merits. I am doing well, slowly accummulating merits on my own and trying to hide my mischiefs during the process.

Don't worry, you are now under the spell of an enchantress, soon you will be pumped up.🤭
I have come to the conclusion that those non-sources with more than 5k merits all deserve their status. 🤥 Ok maybe %95 of them. However it is becoming really concerning when we see some people are extremely obsessed about other people's received merits, it's kind of a battlefield with live ammunition, cough*symm*cough. man down, I repeat man down.🙃🛌 this was the best emoji close to a man down I could find. Lol

Your smerits stash just reduce when you send them but they don't decay in my opinion because I have not seen any members raising such concerns even if they are not sending any merits on forum.Although there have been past discussions that there should be some way to utilize those smerits who don't send them but they don't decay as per now.
