Nah.  I took a look at a couple posts he merited and it looked like they were in Russian.  That board definitely needs a merit source, and it looks like xandry is fulfilling his duty there.  I don't speak Russian, so I can't attest to the quality of the posts he merited, but I don't think there's anything inappropriate going on.

If you have a board on ignore, when you look at a merited post it shows up as deleted/ignored.  Even if xandry merited some posts that got deleted, so what?  If you're insinuating that he's selling merits or somehow giving them out inappropriately, I don't see the evidence.  He's given them out repeatedly to some of the same individuals, but look at how many times pugman Foxpup or TMAN has given me merits.  They just like some of my posts, and I think the same thing is going on with xandry.
