I thought someone will use my own words against me. That personal message is not begging for Merit. I can justify that by quoting threads that states "Donations are appreciated" with BTC/ETH address included. If my personal message is considered begging then people with "Donations bla bla bla" are also begging.
I don't think this kind of message is necessary as you don't need to "allow" anyone to merit you. If you deserve merit, people will merit you.
It's not begging but I really dislike this kind of behavior.
I think it is not allowing, it's "encouraging"
I appreciate the opinion and is duly noted.
Others may see it differently, but I don't see this as begging. What I consider begging is sending PMs asking for merits and asking for merits in threads. What this guy is doing is probably just as bad, but I see it as basically the same as asking for a donation in your signature, and I've seen that a number of times and those people don't get tagged for begging. And I doubt this person is going to get a tag for having a merit request in a signature.
Having said that, it's annoying that people want something for nothing. Give me merit, just because I should have it. Meanwhile he's a typical shitposter of the "bitcoin has a bright future" variety and is posting in shitty spam megathreads where nobody is earning merit. I'm sure he doesn't realize where the problem is.
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.
Dammit, you beat me to it!
Others seeing this differently is the main reason why I asked. I, personally, see this as begging based from the context. I don't intend him/her be tagged since he/she would eventually tagged if a DT member see his/her post. Nonetheless, approval from reputable person here is what I seek and was addressed.

Quite the same, from my perspective, and since your asking for personal opinion, to me there is an unnecessary statement, a lack of elegance. For instance, I will not merit you if I read that in your profile, as I wouldn't merit the other guy, for I truly dislike this kind of behaviour (again, my personal opinion).

Totally, I just can't see the point. I don't know, every time I see this kind of messages into a profile information I use to think "This guy is just seeking for merits in every thread he creates", so no merit from me. It is against the merit spirit, from my perspective.
As they say, people are entitled to their opinions and I respect yours.
