If you have to write that the last of the post, it certainly means that you are asking for it. Not needed, if you really make quality posts.

I don't think that this post should deserve any kind of hate or anything like that. I personally believe that your post was pretty well researched and written as well. Obviously you have put a lot of effort into writing that.

But others might not feel the same way. I get where they're coming from, since they assume that you're begging for merits.

It's fine to promote your post for merits to a certain degree, and I think you're in the safe zone at the moment. Who even said that it was a "crime" to do this?

You're not ranked enough or trusted enough to be a merit source at the moment. I'd say the minimum requirement would be at least 100 earned merits, at least some sort of trust and/or a full member.

So anyway, I applied as a merit source :)
Yes I think too. But to be the merit source we have to be after member ?

You are not going to become a merit source simply without contributing anything to the forum. You should work your way in the forum and forget about merit for now. You are still new to the forum and should learn about the forum, how it works and start to participate in the discussions.

Dont chase after merit - chase the quality of content that you contribute. Merit will come on its own.

About merit sources, theymos has selected some members to be merit sources. They are old and reputable here but thats not the criteria for becoming a merit source. In fact nobody will become a merit source for now unless they show substantial ability to segregate a "merit-able" post and a shitpost.

Peoples are busy with their work, they login Bitcoin talk for a certain period. It's normal to forget to give merit. Some of them are generous and hard working , they find useful content through browsing. I know it's hard to monitor. Now my question is , if I give so much effort and try to write useful article  to improve the quality of our forum, then wanting merit with in the post.

After a long post I used to write -

 " if you like this , just commend me a MERIT point , it will boost my passion to research more."  


I am also giving an example of my post >>

NB:
1. I am new on this society, I saw peoples are getting merits by spamming. I saw a post , he got 30 Merits for one post (3 Line) .
2. I will not buy any merit from any one.
3. I have not messaged some one to give merit.



Will it be treated as a CRIME ? I am again saying that is not begging.

Why ?

I was posting a lot from the first, but after the merit point system added , it seems a very hard journey to get level up. That's why I have decided to write post more constructively. Give more time to write one. Now please answer my question . I am expecting answer from the senior members. If it is a CRIME I will not do that ( I have done it may be in 5 quality posts ) . If you say stop I will stop demanding on quality post also.

In Theymos post , there i  saw-

Quote
Collect TEN posts written in the last couple of months by other people that have not received nearly enough merit for how good they are, and post quotes for them all in a new Meta thread. The point of this is to demonstrate your ability to give out merit usefully.
  • 1. It's also a good Idea . If no one is recommending or collect our post what we will do ?
  • 2. Am i capable and ranked enough to get this service , and be a merit source ? I want to help people.

Hopefully you guys who understand what I want to deliver. Thank you.
These kind of phrase can be come off as begging to some but some don't really see it as one. Personally, i don't see it as begging especially if your post was well made.

Also, to become a merit source you need to become an established member. And i think this can be seen through rank, although i'm a member i don't consider myself as an established member(i still have a lot to learn).
