I believe it is both, and in addition to that the OP is trolling for attention with that spam post. I do not know why someone had to merit his post.
Dude it is Christmas Day and if we can't have some generosity on that day why bother. I gave 7 newbies a merit today Just because it is Christmas.
Oh to the op here is the email I got "blackmailing me"

Now to those that complained he is a spammer or a troller.
I see that both loyceV and Maestro75 have paid signatures. Hey I used to do paid signatures back in the day. I stopped.
oh purenails.co is uk company and they sell stuff for your fingernails.
and if the op was clever enough to make some money with his name and not a signature he deserves a merit for that.
As it will either allow many to copy his idea or the forum will end up banning member names with an @ in it.
You go Tony
