I have a question and/or suggestion regarding the Merit system in general. It's running not long, so there might be some aspects we can still make better. The topic I want to brought up to discussion:

All your received and given Merits are hidden after 120 days, you can see the statement in your profile if you check your Merits:

Sent in the last 120 days
Received in the last 120 days

Since the introduction of the Merit system in January 24, 2018 more than 120 days are passed and now some entries are getting hidden step by step. This can be seen in the Merit history, last day you can find will be January 30, 2018. Example from theymos: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;u=35

Maybe we should think about a change here, the Merit history is a goog indicator for detecting alt accounts by Merit trading. If 120 days are passed, dectecting will be impossible. Also everyone can see connected accounts by having a look in the Merit history.
If we hide all sent/received Merits after 120 days, all Merit trades before are getting hidden. To avoid Merit trading it can be a good decision to show the entire Merit history.
