Well, it's not like we intentionally traded merits, or like we talked about it. Anyobsss and I had worked together multiple times before. There are times when the number of people asking for my service gets really overwhelming that I alone can't handle like 5 or more orders placed in a day, so I had to ask for another designer's help and it turned out to be Anyobsss. Now since some of the projects in his service thread technically came from me, I decided why not give him some merits for helping me out. In return I have helped him too since he was paid for doing those signatures. As you can see, I sent him the merits first. He probably saw it and decided to give me the equal amount of merit, probably because he appreciates it, but it's not like I begged him to send merits back to me. Is it prohibited to send back to the person who sent you merits? Would it be automatically considered as merit trading? I would want to know.

P.S. I just noticed you're a fellow designer. Good luck with the service though. Maybe we can work together too someday. Anyways, keep up the good work.

Edit:

Hmm yeah I just noticed it. He could have just left the post on the thread and wait. I'm not really sure about it, but given the title of it, I sure hope it's not about business
