Probably. I'm curious as to what you mean by "post history review." They wanted you to look through their posts for... merits? Whatever its for, yes, that's particularly peculiar.

I'm surprised you haven't seen me offer that to members before, because I've written it in quite a few threads over the course of a number of months. I encourage lower-ranking members (below Legendary at least) to PM me, asking me to review their post history in search of any posts deserving of merits. I'm happy to do it, and it gives me a way to distribute a lot of merits in a short amount of time, which I think of as an efficient means of doing my merit source "job".

What got me was how often they both talk about what a newbie they are. They're still doing it.

Right, and as you and Philipma1957 have pointed out, there's reason to think that at least one of them (Magicalking) isn't a newcomer to bitcointalk. It's possible he was a lurker, but I find that to be unlikely simply for the fact that very few new members do that anymore.

If @Magicalking is my alt, why will I not atleast have patience of 1 to 2days before Pm you with my alt even if I am a dumb.

Well, I wouldn't put it past a pair of alt accounts to do that, especially if they were greedy enough for merits. I've had alt accounts PM me within short periods of time before, though those cases had nothing to do with post history reviews. Some members just think others wouldn't notice a thing like that. It's not about them being dumb; it's about them thinking I'm dumb, or at least that I haven't seen 10,100 varieties of bullshit in my time on the forum and don't have my BS-detecting antennae up all the time.
