1. The process of sending merit seems a bit annoying. You've to go through another web-page and select number of merit to be sent and then send it. IMO, it'd be better if it could be sent just by clicking "+Merit" button right within the thread.

2. It'd be much better if you guys allow only one merit by the merit-sender per post. This will reduce fake-merit-exchange or fake-merit-giving. There're people sending tens of their merits to a single post which clearly seems like something fishy.

I agree to #1

But disagree to #2. What if a post is really good and you feel like you want to award more than one merit? I feel like posts should receive an equal amount of merits as how good that post is.

Well if the post is really good, then at least there should be a limit of merit. If not limited to one, then maybe maximum two or three. More than that number of merit just for one post by one single person doesn't really make any sense at all.

Check out this script, made by grue https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2833350.0. It works flawlessly so far.

That's exactly what I thought of.

It won't.

Any good reason?
