I hope it's ok to ask, can I please get 1 merit? I just want to be able to upload images  

Nope, and I don't think you can get 1 merit this way.
A substitute for you, buying a Copper Membership there: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=credit;promote
You can buy through BTC (~ 0.0048 BTC) or Grincoin (~ 8.9 GRIN)

For merit sources? Exactly 30 days after they were spent.

As a Merit source, your sMerit is replenished exactly 30 days later (I think up to the second accurate). If you've sent your own sMerit too, it's not possible to see which of those two you've sent.

I've never been out of sMerit, otherwise I'd either bookmark the post, or post it here.

Does anyone know when next sMerit will come back "30 days"? I can’t track the date especially when you have old earned sMerit.

Also, has any user made any script that makes you send sMerit later when you get them "something like +send later"?

Yeah, we are on a centralised and censored system, Bitcointalk is not Bitcoin!

Merit ain't no immutable cryptocurrency!

Well, theymos reversed them. It was all a joke and there were people who gave +300 merits to it that could have been sent to real users who are in need of merit.

Well, why that?
You censored valid merit transactions? If bitcoin forum is all about meme and April fools’ you should pass this information.
My two cents.

Usually weekly update




All the excessive merit given for the April's fool has been removed.

This thought occurred to me recently:

If you wanted to implement Merit in a decentralized forum (ie. one in the vein of Freenet's Frost or FMS), you could do it in this way:
 - Everyone can, from their own perspective, give unlimited merit to posts, and these merit transactions are put into files which each user publishes via the decentralized system. (Like a merit.txt.xz which every user publishes.) Unlike on bitcointalk.org, you can also give people merit without an associated post.
 - For everyone who has merit, you download their merit-transactions-list, but scale down/up all of the numbers so that the total merit that they send is equal to the actual sMerit that they own. It might or might not be useful to do this via some sliding time frame scheme so that merit transaction amounts aren't just continually diminished over time as they increase in quantity.
 - Apply the above step recursively, creating a web-of-trust-style merit network

Then every user has a subjective merit score for each post (sort of like the bitcointalk.org trust system, which was inspired by FMS). And if you wish, you can assign people to be merit sources from your perspective by sending them large amounts of merit directly; these might or might not appear in the merit-transactions-list which you publish.

ABSTRACT

Intra-day merits:
Notes:
- The part of the asbstract describes figures of intraday merits over the period from 19/2/2018 to 01/4/2019 (truncated dataset);
- Days from 24/1/2018 to 18/2/2018 truncated due to highly potential outliers; and days after 01/4/2019 truncated as well due to incomplete week (the 2019w14);
- Statistics presented in the post are for truncated dataset

(1) Potential outliers are days that have intraday total merits beyond 159 or 1127;
(2) Median of intraday merits over the period is 626;
(3) 50% of observed days have their intra-day merits range from 522 to 764 (the interquartile range);
(4) Friday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has lowest intraday merits in terms of both median and mean, at 569, and 616, respectively.
(5) Monday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has highest intraday merits in terms of mean, at 742.
(6) There is a flippening between Wednesday and Monday in terms of highest intra-day merits, with figures for Wednesday and Monday are 660 and 658, respectively;
(7) There are 26 potential outliers in total, and there is only three potential outlier days happened in early weeks of 2019, on 09/01/2019, 14/01/2019, and 27/3/2019, at 1161, 1127, and 1249, respectively.
<8> Minimum and maximum of intraday merits (full dataset) are 312 and 13018, on 11/2/2019 and 24/1/2018 respectively.

Intra-week merits:
Notes:
The part of the abstract use full dataset, only dropped last two days due to incomple week (2019w10).

(1)   The median of intra-week merits is 4510;
(2)   50% of observed weeks (62 weeeks in total), have total merits in the range from 3854 to 5487 (the interquaritle range of intra-week merits);
(3)   Minimum and maximum of intraweek merits are 3065 and 30949, in 2018w35, and 2018w4, respectively;
(4)   Seven potential outliers [beyond 1405 or 7937], all of them occurred in the year 2018.
