Can I ask for merit?

There is no need to do this and this behaviour is usually seen as 'merit begging' which is frowned upon by the community and may lead to you receiving negative feedback. Keep making quality, constructive posts and you will surely be rewarded over time.

I made this thread for discussion so as to test the above statement relative to the following threads, THE TABLE OF NEW BOUNTIES and THE TABLE OF NEW SIGNATURES both started by a user, tvplus006.

In the opening post of those threads, there's a line there that I would like to solicit clarification and/or opinion whether it's some sort or form of "Merit Begging". If is NOT and it is allowed, therefore, we can use it too in order to get or accumulate merits like tvplus006 did in his bounty threads and on his website, http://bounty.slavyansk.biz and http://bounty.slavyansk.biz/signatures.php.

Below are the quoted portions of the two threads as well as website links once the +Merit there is clicked it will lead to 'Merit a post'...
