I am really surprised to see this. It just doesn't feel right.

I was actually surprised as well. I'm not sure why he gave me that many merits for all those posts--I guess he just likes what I post, but you'd have to ask him for the reason.

I wasn't really surprised but I could ask him.

@Foxpup, why, oh why have you sent merit to good posts?

@ marlboroza

I'm glad you don't think it looks right.

I think the evidence is there in this thread for people to understand that is it very subjective and circulated amongst the 0.13% on one sub board to a degree that distorts any real value in the scores.

So where is evidence?

You can check my merit history and you will see something similar:

Less then minute.

11 seconds! To the same accounts! There is no possible way I could have read both threads in 11 seconds.

FFS 10 seconds! Again lowesmayfamilies

46 seconds

Abuse! Circle of merit jerks! Buddies!

I would really like to hear your opinion on this...evidence.

If you often read for example meta logically you will more often merit posts posted in meta. If user is good poster, someone might check post history and find more interesting and good posts and merit them as well.
You can't really force anyone to read boards which they don't find interesting and to merit posts there. This is forum after all and it should be used as forum not some game where you need to jump somewhere to collect or send merits.
