Here is the case of merit abusing maybe with multi account--
*
Tanvi50_ send merit to 3 profile only 1 merit to cygan and 1 merit to montreal1 and another
29 merits to tjtonmoy in 8 times--------on the other hand--
*
tjtonmoy send 28 merits to 9 different profile and 7 merits maximum to @yahoo62278 but s/he send
22 merits to Tanvi50_ in 5 times.
ops nice merit abusing

and a nice strategy to quickly increase the rank of 2 accounts.
you have got my attention! here's the explanation!
i got some merits first doing a post on some bitcoin official/unofficial logo. maybe 2/7 still don't remember which was a long time ago!
then comes the bitcoin pizza baking contest....
and the last one was pumpkin carving contest! i was getting a good amount of merits! remember this - till that point, i didn't know how merit works.. haven't read any post on merit. I thought i was "like" as post liking! didn't know you need to follow so much rules to send and receive merits.
So the participant Tanvi50_ did a carving on some fruit inspired by me... so i send him merits. back then I didn't know... so if that's punishable then you can continue!
