His very first merited post was in pakistan board , being our local member he deliberately go there and posted for some merits. Not just it I saw him despites of newbiew he started a thread that how to made some improvements in our local thread. It's like he was never a newbie from the begin. Despites that I treated him as newbie and gave some advice.
I saw him other boards repeatedly spamming and posting like merit hunter. I personally sent him message not do these kind of thing , it will ruin his forum reputation. I even found some of his post AI generated. I didn't report thought he is newbie so give him some space to learn. But I think he didn't learnt his lesson.
Strange thing is after fillippone posted this , that Nihum342 guy disappeared, didn't get online. I won't say anymore all these are co incinedent.
Also if you follow his pattern of posting you will certainly findout that he keeps spamming and posting if that way of attention seeking didn't work for him he just delete that post.
