CoinGambling.info earned 25 merits for
this post. The sender was
bitcoincasino.info who has been on the forum for over a decade, and who has never earned any merits or sent any merits other than that transaction. Probably got the merits airdropped when the merit system went into place.
This makes me think:
1. That post does not deserve 25 merits.
2. The two accounts are probably managed by the same person or they are likely people from the same group.
Not that it deserves a red tag but surely a follow-up.
You are right as I don't also see that post worthy enough to receive such huge dump on a newbie profile. Your instinct aren't lying as that could be management one person and also trying to gain attention as I think the account that received 25 merits a casino account created for their site, for me 1 or 5 merits is enough for such account.
