I am looking for a post created by theymos where he "said you can give 50 merits to a post that is worthy" than not giving it. I could be wrong with exact post, he created the post but I think is about "Good" is Worthy enough to receive such merits than writing a bunch of text that is worthless.
You wondered about it and you did this merit transaction, 5 merit to this post
The fact that I have experience this discretion of Theymos. If someone makes a quality post I'm 100% sure fillippone can dump 100 merits on such post because I'm a first hand testimony to that. As long as the post is direct and provides help then instead of letting your merit source to expire fillippone will dump it on a post.
If you can merit that post with 5 merit, you can easily find many posts that are deserved with 50 merits.
