Technically, you sent sMerits (rather than Merits). As said, they are not reversible unless you’ve got at least 51% of Admin hash, so it’s good riddance to the exceeding 10 you did not want to send over.

A similar thing happened to me not long ago. Whilst being doubtful between sending either 1 sMerit or 2 sMerits, I ended up committing a 21 sMerit TX. Since I tend to remerit post I’ve previously merited before, I have to add an exception so as not to remerit the post again with an additional 21 sMerit TX.

OP, sorry but how did you find that person's post and distribute your 11 sMerit today?
the post was made early last month. and its position is in the middle of the thread.
just my assumption, you are trying to help the account to rank up faster by giving Merit.

but if it is indeed your fault for trying to send Merit, you can create a thread on Reputation to explain your mistake. never be afraid if you are doing something right.

I like it. This scenario can be imagined by anyone who helps their own or a friend's account rise in rank without further fuss over the distribution of merit.
But at the same time, OP, don't be petty. Well, you sent 11 merits; forget it. Or, in the end, explain to the one who received such generosity from you so that he returns at least half.
After all, you already told everyone about your drama.
I remember a similar case with the erroneous sending of merits, and I remember that everything was returned to the sender.

I'm trying to learn to send Merit for the first time. I originally wanted to send 1 merit. but instead I made the mistake of sending 11 Merits. can I cancel the delivery of the Merit? and how to do it?

Thank you

It seems instead of 1 youd input double 1 on a merit post. So the 11 post you gave already been spent. But dont worry youll earn it back if you received merits from posting.

Its not like social media that when you hit the like button it can be undone. If ever it will be implemented here, there will be huge problem on the order.

Just be careful next time. Adding reversibility to sMerits would add just too much unnecessary complications within the forum and ranking system.

Fun fact: I was once browsing the forums while intoxicated, and accidentally reported a post with a comment "1" instead of giving 1 merit.

It can't be cancelled. It can't be reversed.

But I was expecting the error to be different. 10 merits is more likely to be erroneously sent than 11. The merit box has by default a number 0 inside it. If you click the box, the number 0 won't disappear or at least automatically highlighted so that it would be replaced by the number you want to put.

For a number of times, I almost committed the mistake of sending 10 merits instead of only 1 because of this. Double-checking helped every time. But I think there have been a number of instances in which 10 was sent instead of 1.

Unlucky for you, OP, you've got exactly 11 sMerits. Had you only have 10, it would only have resulted in an error.

Unfortunately you can't recover them. You have sent 11 merits to this person. BRINIRHA and due to your given merits he/she got the Full Member rank. Luckily he/she got this. Your mistake was a lucky moment for him/her.

Be careful for the next time. Wink

Click on Merit button, you will see the given warning information like this

Quote

You have received a total of 22 merit. This is what determines your forum rank. You typically cannot lose this merit. You have 11 sendable merit (sMerit) which you can send to other people. There is no point in hoarding sMerit; keeping it yourself does not benefit you, and we reserve the right to decay unused sMerit in the future.

At the bottom, you will see the warning!

Quote

This cannot be undone!

Unfortunately, I checked and saw you just sent 11 smerit. It means now you have 0 smerit to send out.

If you want to learn more about the merit system and how to use your sendable merit (sMerit), please read

sMerit can't be cancelled or reversed, similar like Bitcoin transaction.

I think you can made a topic for this mistake on Reputation section and tell to everyone why you can send 11 merits to that's post, since 11 merits is too large for such post. Some people who see that's post must feel weird if the user get 11 merits and you could be in trouble since you're abusing Merit system.
