I think asking is not a wrong thing. Newbies wants to know about these field. Everyone want to go up when they are in now. So in highest rank people give their hand for others because we have a responsible for help others.
Youre talking about spoon feeding there bud. If others really want to help you be successful here, they wont give you merits because you beg for them. They will give you merits until you learn how to earn one.
A perfect ideology for this will be Give a man a fish, and youll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and youll feed him for life. Now if High rankers will give merits to you cause you just beg and beg for merits, well, you wont learn the best way to earn merit. And you will never learn the basic and perfect princible of posting with quality.
