Sorry for bumping this topic but:

Are the Merits for some sources increased? I thought that 1,000 merits per month was the maximum, but based on this topic ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsend, @DdmrDdmr sent about 1,700 Merits.
Did I miss something? I haven't been active in this board for a while.
