Well merit is supposed to be something that's natural.. thus asking for it.. would offend the mere reason for which it was created.
Thus I do think that's it's a little bit wrong...but.. you know ..there is a side to everything..
Asking like... " Hey .. please give me merit " would be like begging.
But.. stating... " Hey if you loved the post please give me a merit.. and if not please state your opinions about how can I improve this "
I don't think how.. the latter one could offend anyone..
It's okay to ask.. but ask in the right manner.. 😄
Topic: Question about Merit - page 2. (Read 274 times)
You can visit the Meta section of this forum, there is a lot of discussion about merit there.
Theymos has said “excessive” begging for merit is not recommended ... but has left the door open to occasionally asking.... at least, that is my take on how the conversations have gone.
Also, just as an aside, I personally would not give merit to post that asks for merit ... I think quality is something the readers should notice and send. When you are consistently asking for merit, it gives the impression you may be an account farmer who only cares about ranking up ...
I mean, we all want to rank up, but the purpose of merit is making quality posts to earn ranking up.

Hey, Thank you for sharing about the thread discussing merit. Anyway, I still consider myself as a newbie and there are a lot of things that I don't know. Also, that is my thought about merit too, improving the quality of posts in this community. Thank youuu
No don't put that in the ending actually this is my second account I have a higher rank account now I take the challenge and make a new one. For me the merit is there for the people here in forum to learn and say something different when the merit is implemented I see every post changes the thought of what their replying is clear also you cannot see 1 liner or 2 liners replies. You must work hard post a reply that make the people think that you have a point. A merit will be given to you because you deserve it don't ask for it. Good luck.
I know you may ask somebody to merit your post however, merit system was a bigdeal to rank up. And there are more people who gave merit conditionally. I think if you want to rank up. You must have a quality post.
I think the merit system is a good strategy to increase the quality of discussions on this forum. Participants are kind of compelled to post/reply quality, meaningful stuff that will benefit the entire community. I think that is great.
In real life we don't beg right? (unless we are in a very very bad situation), as stated earlier you can rank up yourself by creating quality stuff that is useful to the entire community.
All the best...

Is it not allowed to ask for merit at the end of your every post? Like posting reply to a topic then adding "Can you give merit to this?" at the end of your answer? I asked because I want to rank up. Thanks guys 
I know it's a little difficult to rank up in this forum this time, but it is good because we need to post a meaningful post and let other people reward us a merit for that.

I think you can rank your post yourself, and if it helpfull to the community you can ask merits for them. And i am sure it will be not every your post on forum

Asking for a merit for every post that you make would totally defeat its purpose of blocking/avoiding spammers in the forum. The purpose on why this system was implemented was primarily for the decrease of spammers/abusers. A lot of people are making useless threads/comments which detriments the sole purpose on why this forum was created. If you really want to have merit points, then try your best to make meaningful comments that would benefit the forum and other people as well based on your knowledge and understanding of cryptocurrencies.
Hope that answers your question OP.
You will most likely get red trust if you beg.
But as for the official rules of the forum, all I can give you is this quote from theymos in his merit system announcement
So you will likely not get banned, but you will very likely have red trust, which is very bad as well.

Do not beg for merit excessively.

I think it is not okay to ask for merits every after post.Dont get me wrong but I think it is much better if we post meaningful or reply with sense and people will give you merit without forcing them.I am a newbie as well but that is how i perceive merits:)Have fun!
