when interest groups support each other its actually ok and normal, its same with bitcoin cheerleading in this forum, also interest group that supports each other.

I agree. It may looks suspicious but two users meriting each other is not necessary abuse.
When posting in limited threads where the same people post it is quite likely that people with the same opinions like the posts of others that frequent that particular thread frequently.
It is only when they are consistently shit posting and those posts receive merit that it becomes inexcusable. Merit abuse beyond full member status will become very hard in the next few months. I can see why Theymos is not too concerned about it because the merit system is designed to progressively make merit abuse more difficult.
