I guessed that its inevitable to see merit sources part of the list here, you may never know and control what members will do after they receive the merit/s you have sent to them. It is like most of them are likely to plagiarize more after they become more desperate on receiving more merits.
This is what I called their merited posts like pseudo-qualitied ones.
The orginial purpose of merit system is giving constructive, high qualited posts merits as rewards for their contributions to the forum.
Therefore, it is reasonable and acceptable if merit sources simply and immediately send their sMerits to high qualitied, constructive posts.
Due to massive abusements and autobanned merit-receivers, I think it should be better if merit sources spend a couple of seconds to scan post histories of posters if merit sources saw their likely constructive posts.
It's not required by theymos, of course, and as I pointed out above, it's not main tasks of merit sources.
Anyway, if merit sources have spare time, they should scan post histories before sending their sMerits away.
