Every merit I have was given to me because they thought I deserved it.
So who did you snitch on to get them?
It's funny that you don't have the balls to go after the legendaries who told you the exact same thing I did, that you're a merit beggar yourself.

Oh please, I think you're just making a big deal out of this because you haven't earned any Merit at all. If you have any proof of snitching on someone, feel free to place your accusation on the table. I'll be waiting  Wink

Actually, it's about how the statement was delivered. You don't know how I confront people here regardless of their Rank or their position in this forum.

Man, just lock the thread. If you consider you have your answer already, why to continue with this nonsense??
Lock it. Problem solved.

Oh yeah, I forgot about it.
I'll close this thread now.

Well I put the member on ignore. I didn't like the capitalised text, which seemed to be more of a demand than a request. The poster also appears to be one of the many who pollute the discussion board with generalised replies of little value.

I apologize for the thread of low value. Anyhow, my question was addressed already so I'll be closing the thread anytime soon. Wink

I can remember getting into trouble for putting "LAMP" in my profile, where LAMP stood for " Legendary Awaiting Merit Points". Well now I am a LUMP - Legendary Upranked by Merit Points. Smiley

I considered referring to myself as a LIMP - Legendary Inflated by Merit Points, but I decided thar was a bit derogatory.

Yeah, I saw that. Those who got you into trouble are just those people who hates the imposing of merit.




Who cares?
I actually think it's funny that this whole thing backfired on you op.
You try to expose someone for merit begging when you do the exact same thing? Very very low if you ask me.

Who cares? Maybe some who does not want to break any rules. Also, if you don't care, why the hell did you comment here? You're just spamming your signature here.

Have you really read the discussion here? This is not exposing, this is asking. Get lost imbecile spammer.
Asking? Do you really need approval or do you just expect to receive merits for your great contribution to the community? Roll Eyes
What do you care if a 19 year old Filipino girl asks for merit in her profile? Did she do something to you, or maybe she didn't? Get a life, Gestapo time is over.
And why the insults? Did I hit a nerve?
The fact is you're a merit beggar yourself and we see it every time you post (spam you said?) Tongue

LOL, is this thread merit-worthy in your opinion? Or does this contributes anything at all? You're just making a big deal out of this
It happens that her PT caught my attention, so?
An insult? That was a fact man Roll Eyes
Oh c'mon. I don't beg for Merit. Every merit I have was given to me because they thought I deserved it.
Do you even know what's the definition of spam is? Roll Eyes

Merit talking seems to have become the new racism. If you dare to mention the "M" word, then you run the risk of being accused of being a merit beggar. As far as I can see, the biggest advantage in being a Legendary, is that you don't get accused of begging for merits, it takes the "me" out of "merit" Smiley

I'm curious about what do you think of that:


This is the OP profile information. I have some mixed feelings about the matter: on one hand, the OP is asking if another user's behavior is ok when he's doing quite the same. On the other hand, when this "merit" persecution is going to come to an end? Since when Torquemada has come back to life?

Call Jet Cash, he will make you think 100 times, and create a thread about it, and ask if its okay to merit the person accused or not.  Grin
Did you just pocked Jet Cash  Tongue



You could just PM him (or her) and tell them it's frowned upon and that they should consider removing it. I'd rather it there than in posts though. It's not begging I don't think, just as people who put their bitcoin address in their PT and ask for donations or whatever. Nobody will probably give them merit just like nobody would send anyone bitcoin donations.
I guess you guys have a valid point especially when pugman said about the PM sending. That's completely begging.

How about this:
I would appreciate some sMerit if this reading gives you some value.
Please keep in mind that the date was February 02, 2018 which is only 8 days after we had the new merit system announced. (Few weeks ago, it has been deleted and the post was updated)

There are people much worse than this guy here, they are sending PMs to high ranked trusted members for merit. That is what begging would mean, this is not begging.

Ya I agree with the general sentiment of the thread, it's not different that a BTC addy there, ie not begging, just annoying LOL!  Cool

Nahhh, that's just so obvious, I actually don't think it could have been made more obvious. Such desperation after a while is not even funny but annoying

I appreciate your insight about this. However, isn't it much worse in PT than in a post? It is as if he/she is showing the text whenever he/she goes.
No, I don't think so. Begging addresses and ref links aren't allowed in posts, but they're fine in signatures or personal texts. I don't really see an issue with the reminder in their PT, but I think it's largely pointless. If you make good posts you'll probably get the merit anyway, but I think it's likely to have a counterproductive effect and many people won't merit after seeing the message.
I'm not a merit source so not to big a deal but ding ding ding on the bold.  Honestly if I saw a post from a user with this it would absolutely make me think twice about meriting his posts.  TBH it would take an above average post (IMO) to get merit from me with that info flying high!

I see it as "indirect way of begging" (deserves a negative rating):
- This user isn't just hoping for someone to notice that and merit him/her in exchange for a merit worthy post but instead, he/she is indirectly (by giving the idea) requesting for someone to do it (for something that he/she doesn't deserve - your case is the first one but that doesn't mean it's fine either).

I don’t think there is too much doubt. It is begging, just in a passive manner. Every day, I go by a couple of homeless people who have a cardboard explaining their situation. Sad as it may be, the cardboard text asks for economical collaboration and is begging by all means.
There is a difference though between passive begging and active aggressive begging. The former you can chose whether you want to help out or not, while the latter invades your personal space and often becomes aggressive. Either way, it’s merit begging in this case I’d say.
