Moving threads from board to board in a seek of merits?

Recently I've found a user encouraging others to move their threads from one to another board just in a seek of merits. Actually, the user has done it several times, from alt to beginners, from meta to beginners, and so. The user also explains to others this behavior as a good way of earning merits:
I have the same sentiments with you. The intention of merit is to prevent spammers and encourage us to make quality posts. However, what is happening now is instead of making posts to share your knowledge and learn from one another, the forum community is now posting for the sake of earning merits (especially the low rank members like me).
Moved the above thread twice (from altcoin discussion to service discussion (altcoins) to beginners and help). I moved it because I noticed that the merit distribution on the altcoin discussion threads are fewer compare to other threads.
This is the first time I see something like that, and I just don't know how to feel about the matter. The user doesn't seem to be a complete shitposter, but this attitude is kind of annoying to me. What do you think? Is moving your own threads all over the forum seeking to earn merits a good attitude?
