Have you thought about it disappearing by April 1 
?
Smerits would not just decay all of a sudden, that is if it will decay at all, I'm sure before theymos does that he will inform the community ahead, so users can make good use of their smerits. Everyone is encouraged to be involved in the merit process(sending and also receiving), but it cannot be imposed on them, but then there are the merit sources who are giving them out without any restraint. ?He is probably talking about the April Fools prank theymos and the admins pulls off every April 1 in forum time. The last prank if I remembered it correctlt was about a fake KYC requirement that has a funny KYC form. OP might just be suggesting this idea to prank and teach users at the same time to use their unspent sMerit in their account which might be a good prank.
