Basically, it makes me feel anyone who earns Merit and uses that board could be an alt account.
In the last one or two years, I always wanted to share most of my smerits with the local board. I haven't counted how many smerits I have shared there but I can assume most of them were. Does that make me alt of them

Well, I wanted to encourage quality posts on the local thread. There are a few newbie accounts that are popping up every day almost. Maybe some of them are alts as I can sometimes see similarities in posts but that alone doesn't prove anything, and I don't have a lot of time to investigate them further. However, it's not only Bangladesh, there are a lot of other nations from where people are abusing a lot of alts. We have seen a member with more than 50 accounts.
I'm not very fond of asking users for private data, but if John Abraham isn't lying, this would be a good start to prove it.
I can vouch for LoyceV here. John Abraham can send the proofs to LoyceV if he has no issue with trusting him. I believe LoyceV won't abuse any private info.
