PM them and ask an explanation, they will come up with an innocent story. Like...
And these are the translations (I might bring you more in future) we are seeing through out the forum.

Why the negative feedback? Flodner is a friend of mine, am I not allowed to send him some merit? :/
Quote
He is a trusted friend he asked for some merit and I did.
Translation: Award merits to friends

Quote
...mostly i gave my merits to who gave me ?
Translation: Award merits who send your merits

Quote
Because meriting is not prohibited and everybody are free to distrubute theri1 merits to everyone without any reason etc.
Translation: Awarding merit need no reasons so keep awarding.

PS: It's a parody post. Merit abusers, please do not use it as a reference ground for your merit abusing activities.

Update:
New translation 1: Award merit to the bounty managers to show your appreciation/like of the project.

There are too many gray areas to justify merit abuse. I used to investigate and I gave up now. Too much time and work. In return I made lot's of enemies in the forum.

Things went so wrong that I felt like there was a virtual court asking me for my life history, accusing me for the things I have not done (mdayonliner ponzi promoter, mdayonliner), trying to snitch the reputation I have earned in the forum. I have been called many unpleasant words like hypocrite, snitch forum etc. It hurts when you know you are not the person, that they are calling you.

To me now, these abuses are system lose. Every system has a certain amount of lose and we need to accept that fact. Merit is working fine to improve the content quality of the forum. Abusers will abuse until they have those airdropped sMerits. Once those will dry up then we will not see many cases like this. So, I let them do whatever they like to do and gave up my investigation against them.

If you really think that they abused then my suggestion is: Tag them.

By the way, good work on the findings.

Found a merited post of this guy from a mega thread and checked his merit history most of them are given by twos so he can accumulate sMerits and send them to his possible alt accounts. There could be more of them I haven't looked at the history of the others.
