You never really explained how giving someone merit also gives them sMerit.

Good point. I'll update the graphic.

hi,

Thanks for the inforgraphic. However, it might be better if you can draw a cycle of Merits-sMerits, by which I mean the mechanism of merit system in our forum.

I can't find anywhere definitive answer on what happens if people are trying to abuse Merit system (i.e. sell Merit, trade merit etc.).

I understand with natural 50% decay, it's a system pretty hard to easily abuse therefore it will inevitably become a thing that will be traded. The question is: what are the expected consequences?

I'm sure nobody want to become target of a ban hammer just because he merited his alt once or twice, so It's good to know the rules, right?

Thank you!

Hi, you can add my German version (link/image) in you OP if you like, as not all who speak German frequent the local forum  
The sentence below translates to 'Here is a German version'.
