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.
I tend to see the good in letting the click go to another page where the sender's merit stock is displayed. If we want it to remain on same page, will it still display what sMerit the sender has before sending out?
I agree that the max award should be reduced. I suggested a max of 2 per post per member.
Having a limitation of 2 merit per post no matter how good and mellifluous the constructiveness of the post is will take away the reward for in-depth response and analysis. It will contra-work with the aim of the Merit system which is to up constructive posting. We shouldn't be stingy about this thing. It's not like
it is sending $$ to a live account. It is just an encouragement mechanism.
