What if someone forget to delete the number "1" when they want to send "2" so that the number of merit to be sent will be "21"?

That means a "1" is worse than a "0". It doubles the chance to send more than intended.
I've accidentally sent 40 sMerit twice so far: I never remove the 0, I just leave it as a leading zero. And once every few thousand transactions I messed up.

The easy solution is sending no less than 6 sMerit. That can only be "06". Unless it becomes "16".

Long story short: remove the 0, make it empty by default!

I suggest that this default value is changed to 1, which is the most common merit value transacted. This will also avoid mistakes like sending 10.

I think making it just blank will be the best, it will make people to avoid the error. But thinking it should be changed to 1 is just self centeredness, how about LoyceV that do send 4 or 6, or Suchmoon that do send 4 or 7, o-e-l-e-o do send 2. Because you do send 1 should not be the reason while it should be changed because there are some people that do send more than 1. Making it blank will be good by default, but if changed or not changed, always be careful and check and recheck before sending merit to someone.

I don't think a value "0" as default has any more potential error than a value "1" because it all started out habit. If regular users delete the "0" value before they add the number of merit to be send, imo error may not occur. I don't have any issue regarding the default value at the moment, that's fine for now personally.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. MTwain

Perhaps a blank value would be preferable.

There is a spike in awarding 10 sMerits in a single TX, in relation to 9 and 11, but for amounts with two digits involved, there is a tendency to have more of a soft spot for multiples of 5. Can´t really infer from the data if those awarded tenners were all deliberate, or whether any or a meaningful number were due to the depicted effect.

Number of Merit TXs in 2021 by amount:

Code:

amount nTx
1 18744
2 4982
3 993
4 881
5 513

I think I saw others complaining about the same thing, and I must say that I agree as I don't really see the reason to have "0" set as default. To be honest, why have any number set as default as all that can cause is either to have to first delete that number or even you may misclick and send way more merit than you initially intended to. Not really a problem for me as I don't remember last time i had more than 6-7 merits to share, but that probably must have happened to merit sources. I guess.

Or make it at least a placeholder text of "Amount" instead of being a default value of the minimum valid amount so that if one decides to give merit more than 1 merit but less than 11, he/she won't accidentally send 12-19 merits as well if the default value is 1.

Hello everyone.

I have a small suggestion for merit pop up
When I click +Merit to a user, I am redirected to this window:

The default value for a merit transfer is 0.

However, 0 is an invalid merit value to transfer. Additionally, I often write 1 and see "10" as a result, because i forgot to delete zero (I never clicked ok after that, thankfully).

I suggest that this default value is changed to 1, which is the most common merit value transacted. This will also avoid mistakes like sending 10.
