That's merit abuse and the owner of the account is trying to cheat the system and it's prohibited for doing that, how can you use your Smerit and your alt, that means the person doesn't want a circulation of merit across the forum, and what causes this kind of a thing is greediness, for me it's totally merit abused, and both accounts is being linked up and that's why it was visible that the both accounts belong to one user if I'm not mistaken, for me people have to know that meriting your account your alt is cheating, let them know now.
