It's acceptable because newbies can participate just as well as any other member.
This certain case could be construed as merit abuse via merit trading though. You can try reporting them here. Make sure you follow the format on the first post. I don't know if this is enough for negative trust though, as theymos seems to prefer giving people the benefit of the doubt.

Merits and activity are not related. You do a great single post, you earn 100 merit. Or, you are posting bullshit all the time and you have 0 merit with 1000x activities.

Just curious about merit system. I believed of its purpose to eradicate the spammers and shitposters.
But I have noticed some newbies already have 10 merits in just 3 activity and a 1 day old account???!!! Which is the merit required to ranked up to member. And noticed some Jr. Member already have more than 120 activity are having zero merits. Newbies having ranked friends can simply provide them the merits. But how about those don't have?? Those people posting a meaningful posts still have nothing. Here is the sample profile: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/zcroc1-2000093
