I think the script works like this or maybe it is possible by this method:
DdmrDdmr first saves the good posts while reading them in a folder or note, saves by copying the merit button hyperlink. so when clicking that link the pages open on "send merit" page.
when the time comes to start a merit spree, he replaces the merits number with number he wants to send per second or 2 seconds.
the bot or script navigates
this texts and enter the number then clicks send. every sec or timeframe we want it to send.
it can be done by browser automation using python script using selenium library.

I think you are getting closer to the solution, but I guess he is now using more sophisticated ways of interacting with the forum.
He wouldn't be an AI if he had to automate via script an human interface, I expect him to directly dialogue with forum software at a lower level.
