<> What if adding a cooldown of 30 seconds on giving merits to avoid this glitch and also to avoid merit abuse. <>

It was fixed, back on the 29th of December 2018:

Alright, you now can't merit the same post with the same amount within 60 seconds.

The double spend being discussed would have happened anyway, since despite it being prior to the fix (22/12/2018), the two TXs were 2 minute and 34 seconds apart. I get similar bugs when Im retrieving information to update my DB, whilst at the same time trying to merit a post. In my case its due to firecloud getting too many petitions from the same IP, but also public wifis tend to disconnect or have micro-interruptions. Regardless, this is not the issue.

Really, there I not much of an issue at all. It doesnt matter whether it was 5 or 10 merits. Currently, 7.976 5 sMerit TXs have been handed out (2.824 10 sMerit TXs). People are entitled to go through the merit TXs, and that is why they are made public. Nevertheless, awarding criteria is fortunately diverse, and that is the whole point of it. Not all will agree neither with the fact of meriting a given post, nor with the quantity, but that is down to diversity of criteria here, not to abuse.

Thanks for informing us, I'm not active during that time so maybe I missed that update. The 2 minutes was an exact cooldown to avoid those glitch, the only thing I was doing is to wait for the platform to reconnect and check if the merit was sent or not.

Imo, if Jet Cash has a lot of time, he can check each local section to provide merits. There are some posts that are written in English in our local so he/she can manage to distribute the merits to a lot of persons.

I can only speak for myself here, but I have very little enthusiasm to trawl through pages and pages of posts I can't understand in a language I don't speak on the off chance of stumbling across one in English. I have, however, merited quite a few post in the Polish section previously (after reading them via Google Translate or similar) because they have been brought to my attention. I would suggest if you are seeing good local posts which are not being merited, to report them here: [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source. There a quite a few sources who check that thread and have merited posts from various local sections.

Good thing for you since Google translation was not quite accurate and it's very hard to understand if they're translated into English. I saw that effort of yours to help other people even you're not the one who should be helping them. I mean, moderators/higher-ups of the local should be the first to look at their fellow members since they're in the same community with same mother tongue. I'll try to report if I found someone to boost their motivation to create another topic that might help our community. I didn't expect that there are too many threads for developing and boosting each individual especially beginners. I notice that higher-ups are trying to make a good path for the newcomers, at first I thought people are just promoting each platform and all about business. The community is changing little by little and soon it will constantly breed a quality posters.
