Merit sources receive spent sMerits back 30 days after spending them. If they don't spend their sMerits, they don't get any more. Use it or lose it.
Users who aren't merit sources can only gain sMerit by having their posts merited; they do not receive a monthly top-up.
Your merit page will tell you if you are a source or not. If it doesn't say "You are a merit source.", you aren't one.
Topic: sMerit level not topping-up after a month or so? (Read 105 times)
sMerit does not increase automatically, you receive half sMerit back for every merit you receive.
For example you have received 14 merits you should have 7 sMerits.
Now if you are confused how you had 39 sMerits when you received only 14 merits? Actually those extra 25 sMerits where distributed by theymos when the merit system was introduced. (There was formula to calculated default sMerits)
There is exception for merit sources, their sMerit get topup (125 sMerit/month) and those sMerit decay also if not used.

SInce last few days it has been observed that sMerit points are not topping-up after month. Question How often does sMerit get top-up?
If it is monthly: then why it is not reflecting?
Does it require current sMerit to be drained in order to get new merit points?
PS: I've referred original merit thread which covers its introduction. It does not cover this.

Looking at your merit history, I do not think that you are a merit source or are you? I am pretty sure you are not. Then I have no clue how this concern you?
Are you not mixing up a merit source with the sMerits you get from the received merits by other members?
When merit was introduced, you were giving (airdropped, you can say LOL) some initial Merits and sMerits depending on your rank at that time. Since then I see you have received 14 more merits which earned you more 7 sMerits. You get 1 sMerit against each 2 merits you receive from the members.
If someone sends you 1 merit, the 0.5 sMerit is not wasted; it is just not shown until you get another merit point.
