Obviously not a big deal though. Perhaps, activities in the forum requires a lot of carefulness, if everything is made very easy for us here there gonna be a lot of mistakes. Deleting the zero and inserting the numbers of merit we want to give a user shouldn't be stressful at all IMO.
Dude, I have like 1300 merits to send right now and getting more daily. Anything to make handing that out easier should be looked at.
Let’s say it populated with a 1 instead of a zero.
I click +merit, click send.

Probably that will make our forum life a little easier. But it will remain the same for the merit sources. I believe most merit sources do not send 1 merit to the post that they like and think it's worth reading. I see LoyceV mostly sends 4 merits, while fillippone likes the number 3, and other merit sources might have their favorite number. So, it is not possible to customize it for everyone.
Since merit sources mostly spend time on sending merits every day, no one should forget about them. So, if you want to customize it, the box should be blank instead of a zero or a one. That is my personal opinion if theymos is going to tweak this little thing. Otherwise, I am still okay with how it works.
Merit sources are incentivized to give out all their merits. This has led to lazy merit sources dishing out more merits per post. It also makes it easier to circle merit with your friends while leaving less tracks. I think maybe if it were easier to give out just 1 merit, we’d see less concentration in merit circles and more merits going to more users.
