I whould not treat him like average newbie. Perhaps he is (or will be) more valuable BTT member that those above.
Yes! I've checked his post history he is deserving to rank up meriting him now.
I see you pushed him through the line. Great to see that i could help you and him
Threads like this should be outlawed in this forum, doesn't send a good message and it's beginning to look more like abuse. If you have Merits to give, nothing stops you from giving them quietly to the deserving posts.

Don't be so harsh. No one is an expert in any field and every board has its small society. If he is not technical he would not be able to reward quality posters from technical boards (such as Bitcoin Technical Support). If he does not speak French he would not merit quality poster from French local board etc.
