I don't think that is a good idea, asking for merit is considered as merit begging right? Especially when asking thru pm's and posting inside the forum. You're very sarcastic men!
I'm a man not men, lol. also what I said is true, he is giving merits to people posting on his thread I'm just too lazy to find it. asking for merit from merit sources is not begging if they have missed your good posts, they are not obligated to read every single post, you could help them to find your meritable posts by asking them if they have a dedicated thread to giveaway merits.
Some merit sources like OgNasty and suchmoon would tag you with red if you ask them for merits but I would personally find your good posts and merit them.
