Recently I received a 3 day ban for the merit request in a private message, but I'm a beginner and not too familiar with the rules, I think it's too cruel that I should have understood from the 2 people I asked told me only one can't do that, and the second decided to punish me bad trust, it's like a child put in a corner, why flog him, maybe he is standing in the corner understand it.

I would also like to address the large members of the forum, take a look at this project, I presented it as an example
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-greencoinonline-google-challenge-3103301This man made a really good project, created a cryptocurrency exchange, but for some reason he is a newbie, which I tend to, to the fact that over time on the forum we will get a lot of decent people who build a blockchain, but they will have the ranks of newbies, I want you to pay attention to this, because some people really deserve +1merit, for what they do for blockchain technology
Looking through the thread you posted, there are a good amount of people who are commenting that are Sr member+, yet none of them feel the need to merit the topic.
(Maybe it isn't really as gripping as you say it is?)
I've personally never heard of Greencoin, and looking at their exchange,
https://greencoin.online/market/GRN-USD, i must say, it looks pretty bland and extremely basic.
Not something that i'd deem "Innovative/Refreshing."
Take a look at this project;
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18316056 ANN threads of decent projects can/will definitely be merited.
