I could use a similar merit allowance increase as last time

 

I think then I will be good

Well in my silly imagination without adding up those numbers and just look into it individually it seems it is burning.

Sorry for the confusion it really BrokeMyLife ✌😂
Well yeah, is I had 1000 Merits it could also Generate close to 1000 but the thing is if it is distributed then it is slowly getting burned up ? Just an example of a cycle:

Me a Sauce have 100sMerits:
I gave 10 users 10Merits each which would give them 5 sMerits (generates 50)
Then those 10 users single picked 5 persons to give their sMerits which will end up 2.5 sMerits for each of them.
After that they pick again 2 users for that and generate 1.
And there goes. Until that 1 sMerit has been sent, End of cycle,... Nothing can be distributed again unless I spend another 100.

What I mean here is the cycle of Merits. Even if its distributed evenly the cycle will stop unless the 30day of span will make it to us. Or other sauces will try to give another round for another cycle.

✌😂 Mate it gives me DoubleMeaning 😂😂😂

Maybe I should add also anonymous applications for those who need more smerit but don't want to reveal their accounts ( not that it really matters anymore with all those merit stats), just for a overview how many are in need.
If anyone else want to be includes anonymously, just sent me a PM

Edit> OP updated with Royse777's application.

so now im here too, requesting an increase.

turns out even trying to limit to 1 merit a post there have been so many good, informative, pertinent posts i have started running out again.

i try to spread the merits over that 30 day to the second shelf life thing but i sometimes have extend time away (well days) from the forum and that messes things up a bit.

i may be sporadic in where i read but i try to also read around the forums sections in general as much as i can rather than concentrate in one particular spot.  that of course again varies with time.

but my aim is always to be near out of merit. collectibles these arent.

I am here again, in fact, I am getting enough Merits per month "at a rate of 1 sMerit for posts with good content and 2 for 4 sMerits for posts with high content" but I decided to be generous (2 to 6 sMerits) and give more which made me run out faster.

If there is an adjustment, please add me, otherwise I am happy with the current situation. ~3XX/ Month.

I would expect all merit sources to get adjusted again in May:  Last adjustment was in November and used the prior six months of data.

Sounds fair to me, this explians why it took some months to get the MS application approved of one of the best sources out there - LoyceV.
Anyway, hope this thread will save theymos some time.
OP updated!

Bump!

This thread is not dead, it's just waiting for the right time to remind theymos of the change we/you want. According to gmaxwell that should happen around May so we have some time.

bumpity bump bump

If any of you recall, last time we had disclosures of more than a merit doubling for many merit sources that was in mid-November, at least that was disclosed by some smerit sources...  nearly a tripling for several sources.  

At the same time some smerit sources got cut in the fail to use and therefore lose kind of outcome.

Even though I would hate to go against any strongly held gmaxwell predictions, especially if I were to be playing against some of gmaxwell's strong suits, I am going to proclaim that theymos has not specifically committed to 6 months in the case of smerits, he has merely proclaimed that he will look at smerits from time to time, as far as I recall.  

Anyhow, seems difficult to wager upon theymos specifics, and even if he will tweak the smerit allocations in any kind of clockwork way because I don't recall that theymos had really stated that level of specifics with any actual words, so gmaxwell had been applying an algorithm to theymos, and maybe theymos is actually a computer program, and gmaxwell knows about that (cats out of the bag - you heard it here first)?

Remember with the default trust, theymos said something like he would adjust default trust list of 100 DT1s at "about" the beginning of each month, but I don't recall coming across anything even close to that level of specifics from theymos in regards to any 6 months/merit tweakenings even if such past practice of 6 months is identifiable.  

TLDR:  Personally, based on information outlined above, I am assigning 56.5/43.5 odds, at best, in favor of smerit tweakenings within 10 days of the halvening.
