Double-clicking the button perhaps?
Ah the fat finger bug, I hadn't thought of that. It could be, now I need to find a post worth two merit to see if I can replicate it.
No need. Your top post is well worthy of [at least] 2 Merits.
I just double-clicked the send button on the Merit page. I can confirm that double-clicking does indeed double-merit.
See you in next week's stats!

Merits cost you nothing at this moment but worthy of you time.
