Check in Merit & new rank requirements Quote
Trivia:
For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank. Of that, a certain amount (less than the usual half) is spendable. The spendable amount was calculated based on your current rank and the number of activity points you earned in the last year. A Legendary member who hasn't posted in the last year would still be Legendary, but would not have any spendable merit.
If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.
You can check yours by click on Merit at right of my post, and you will see the number of smerit you have and can be used to spend out.For current members, your initial merit score is equal to the minimum required to your rank.

You have received a total of 10 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 5 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. 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.
It is if you have even merit, 10.If you have odd merit (9), you will see only 4 spendable merit to spend out. The rest 0.5 smerit will be summed with your 0.5 smerit in the future to make it to 1 smerit that can be spent.

Going through Merit.txt downloaded on the 19/03/2018 (data within from 24/01/2018 until 16/03/2018 ), I thought it would be interesting to see the top data features that can be derived from the file.
Data shown is what is in the file. I am not filtering out by who is behind the sMerit assignment or reception. In most cases, it is probably justified, as it is part of their tasks (i.e. merit sources may be at the top of sMerit givers for example).
