As a newbie you even know what is merit. I strongly believe that the user that tell you about the forum told you some of the basic rules in the forum. And you are acting as if you don't know. Go and remeet your guidance to tell you how merit begging is all about. By the way I still believe you know but pretending. What you did is merit begging and it is not allowed in the forum. The question is why do you beg merit? What do you want the merit for?  Do you know the basic reasons of this forum, it to not for merit. Go and read the genenal rules in the forum.

You do not know why you are here. Have you asked yourself the reason you are here? If you are here for merit good and fine. You have to post quality, informative, and educative post. Those should have been your cardinal points in the forum. And also read other people threads to get information to know more.

Conclusively. You are here for merit but not to contribute to help others that do not the particular information. So I am advising you to remove your mind from it. And focus on contributing to knowledge.
