This could actually be a veiled way of sending merits to yourself. Given a good post, few would question the use of sMerit upon it.
However, this would only be to "new" account farmers rather than older ones since they would just as well post on their higher-ranked accounts and rank them up.
Perhaps it's a new wave of accounts being farmed as the max monthly merit cap is reached?
The worry thing is, if there is new account that created by other who already have accounr here with higher rank and then the new one create a good post and then the old account with the higher rank and have much merit, give merit to their new account's post.
Sorry, a bit difficult to explain it, because my english is not good enough..
