It's an event, so what do we expect? And yeah right, some of those entries doesn't really deserve Merits if you ask me but still let's just consider this as part of the event, besides its only a matter of time when this issues might stop. Maybe tomorrow or the next day, the distribution of Merits will become normal again.

No, you misunderstood my opinion. What I mentioned is I hope merit sources will maintain their strict rules as same as before their reallocation of monthly merits.

For the Art contest, yes, it is for fun, and I am fine with it. There is nothing wrong when you send 20 or 50 merits to the arts you like (even if you do it today). I knew there are some shady behavious and ones took advantage of the contest to do what they waited for around two years since merit sytem began. As I said, I am fine with it and just let it be what it be. Then, when the Art contest effects cool down, they will be stucked again (if they have not yet promoted to Legendaries).

how long till the investigators are in tying up farms/rings of accounts..

As TMAN wrote, they will do stupid things again. Like what we saw when the enhanced merit system activated in September of 2018.
They nearly got mad in the first week since the changes came.
See details here (and you can see spikes in the time-series plot).
One year anniversary of enhanced merit system
