I had an idea how to increase the amount of a common Merit, by reducing inactive accounts.

There is no need to take merit away from some members in order to have more sMerit to distribute to activet forum users. Merit and sMerit are not capped, Theymos can create (if necessary ) hundred of sources or grant the actual ones thousands of smerits a month.

Perhaps you will not agree with me, but how can you look at accounts that have 1000 merit, but the last time in the network were back in 2016?
How about everything will work:
If you do not log in for 2 months - minus 10 Merits
If you do not write posts, within 2 months - minus 10 Merits

I don't understand what's the obsession with the merit or rank of others...
It bothers you that much that an old, now inactive account has 1000 merit?
Leave the guy alone, he earned his rank fair and square by the rules at that time.

I read somewhere on the forum that if you do not login or make any post here for 3 months , the account is deleted. Can someone confirm this as I could not find anything official about this.

If you don't login for three months, your account gets locked. It does not get deleted, ACCOUNTS NEVER get deleted under normal circumstances/ without the owner's request and signature.

Similarly, the owner needs to sign to say that they want their account to be unlocked. The main way to do this is to sign a staked address/another public key.

Where did you read that accounts get locked after three months of inactivity? I know that accounts which tried to log in after years of inactivity, after the 2015 hack get locked, but I haven't read anything else.

I think you are confusing Merit and sMerit in your post, and understanding the difference is vital to deploy any concerning ideas. You are probably talking about sMerit and confusing the merit obtained with the available sMerit. If that is the issue, then you need to go back to the drawing board after learning to differentiate them.

On the sMerit decrease by decay or else there are some threads that have approached the issue, but I’m not going to refloat them now. Search for them, and reformulated knowing what is what and why first.

I meant that Merit, which takes away from inactive users will turn into a sMerit, which you can already send.

This is insane. It is not easy to earn merit yet it is not an impossible things too. But having a chance to be demeritted when you dont active for 2 months is insane and not the idea we are looking for merit system now. Merit system itself is already a great system for me, but if i would add something, it would be to increase the number of merit sources, but it is hard to find a person who are worthy of that job.

I agree, I have a lot of interesting posts (not discussions), but I have lost motivation, when they go unnoticed under a lot of discussions. Therefore, it would not be bad to add one more variant of receiving merit for posts

Regarding your suggestion OP, current ranking up is based on both activity and merits. It might be implemented for higher ranks though.

Just in case no one loves you, I love you 3000.

Nope, the current merit system is already great for me. Merit sources + additional merit sources will address this issue.

NO.

They earnt their ranks. They can keep them can't they?

Minus 10 merit for not posting in 2 weeks just promotes spam also - excatly what we are trying to avoid.
And there there'll be services of "pay to keep your account active".

Merit is unlimited, if theymos wanted to increase the amount of source merits avaliable, he just has to hit a button on his admin tab.

Where will Merit go? It will be distributed among people close to the administration, who will subsequently hand out it for useful topics.
Of course, this issue will need to be finalized, but what do you say about this idea? If you agree, what rules would you add?
