I need theymos to load me some source merit LOL. Hello theymos!!! :-D
Yeah, now it's obvious that the avatar is there because the user had it before disabling avatar for any rank under Full member. I spotted him from sportsbet.io thread by the way.
The account is 8 years old, and doesn't look hacked (he still posts in Spanish). Some of the pictures he posted back in the days don't show up because he's now a Newbie, so I'll Merit him. He's clearly not a spammer and I don't think he deserves to miss out on airdropped Merit (despite his negative feedback).
I looked at his history. The user did not care much about making posts from the account. It's amazing how he remembers his username and passwords.
