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 doesn't find it annoying unless our internet connection was poor. What seems most annoying to me is when I saw a merited poor quality post. But I bit agree that there should be a limit when meriting a post to avoid or even lessen not fake merits (because it can still be given at a lower rate), rather, the ability of giving high counts of merits to poor quality post. We, cannot totally avoid giving of fake merits of someone to someone but we can avoid a high-counts of fake merits at the end.
