This shows that you guys are rich with merits haha, as speaking of myself, when I wanted to give someone merit, I don't do such experiments with the feat or lose all the smerits, as I have seen cases where we send merits accidentally by reloading the page. I would never do such experiments but until I have good amount of smerits.

And yeah OP you are right, the field should accept numbers only, but they are not accepting anything other than numbers than that's also fine. But still for the sophistication of the forum as its growing day by day, some changes are must. Admins should remain more active.
