The content of the post is quoted above. The objective is for you guys to judge if the post is worth 10 merit points without knowing who sent or received the merit points. Those factors aren't important. What is important is post itself

I think the sender is important, esp if you ask if it's worth 10 points. Different people have different interests.

The context of the post (posts made before the one in question) also contributes to the merit worthiness of a post.

There was no post made before that one, It was the opening post of a thread so there is virtually no context to examine except the post itself.
The sender is not important, what I find is that people have feel differently when they know the sender than when they don't.

What interest could he have? The only way we can argue about his interests leading to his decision to send 10 merit points is if he is interested in generic questions that add zero value to the forum.

If it was a normal member of the forum that gave 10 merits to that post, they would be labeled with negative feedback for merit abuse.

May or may not be worth 10 merits, it's up to the sending person. There is no abuse though.

This is clear abuse, you would be saying the opposite if it was someone you weren't fond of.
