This legend gave 50 merits out twice to more or less the same post and those accounts were analysed and look highly probable to be his own
I guess most things can be gamed.
Mere speculations,the more reason why there's no
enforceable rule regarding such cases...
Take a plagiarism case,we the community can simply run a quick plagiarism test on such users posts,and if he/she is found guilty,the penalty(permaban)will be handed out..
But with the merit abuse cases,its always difficult to call,and we could be making a mistake tagging a user at least 5/10 times for various reasons such as.
Every user is entitled to do whatsoever he/she wishes with his/her Smerits really(so there is no proof to show a user is meriting his/her alt)
And users on the forum merit posts they agree with,which according to theymos shouldn't be so.."merit quality/good post"
So such user probably agreed with the recipient of the merit,and decided to hand out quite a chunk of it to them..
