This is Merit abuse, but it's also allowed. An old shitposter woke up to send his airdropped sMerit to a new shitposter with a shitcoin ANN. This topic already gives him more attention than his shitcoin is worth.
But it’s allowed!
Well, I guess not having a clear definition to it which is something I am in on, as this would constitute the creation of threads that follows a pattern and even increase abuse so as it is, the case cannot be conclusively proven but, obvious abuses like this should be talked about at least.
In the context of condemnation to deter or discourage such habits in the future. On the knowledge of how the account doing the meriting just woke up, I see little reason to doubt it having to change hands. It’s the likely possibility but, users on here knows better than to see it for a base to trust activities promoted in this manner.
