Sending 1 merit to many users on September 17th, 2018 (same release day of new merit requirements)
He has a thread for requests of awards for quality posts
Look at this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3250675.0

Ok, fair enough, just large(ish) send out on the 17th was a possible red flag
Thank you for your attention. I gave merit for quality posts in the contest, it can be easily checked.
And here I said that everyone is being watched

I am very concerned about the charge of potential abuse


No worries, it was my bad. I wrote potential abuse as a large majority of the posts were in a different language, but there were a few in english with not much text (I see they've been removed now). I wasn't certain so I was just raising the flag just in case. Nothing against you. I'm writing scripts in order to automate this, so your merit rewards just came up for being on the same date/17th.

I figured a mod w/ knowledge of that language may be able to figure that out.

Sorry about that!
