I just wanted to know if begging merits can ban you or can get you a red trust on your profile?

7. No begging.

Not hard to find this information.

You are not allowed to beg for merit, else you will be tagged by DT members

In addition I'd add for OP's benefit that yes, merit begging has resulted in red trust being left.  I'm not sure about anyone getting banned, but there have been a number of people tagged as a result of begging--I've left some myself, in particular when it comes in the form of PMs.

Just don't do it.  Not only is it against the rules, it's against the spirit of the merit system.  You're supposed to get merits based on your posts, not from asking people for it.

What if you make a good content that will all of us can benefit and asking merit for donation to update the content???

for clarification of my point, please look this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3307997.0

Is this kind of statement allowed? Makin' a good content then ask for merit? without force?

Just stop and think - is it good to stand outside the supermarket and beg for money? People just think you are a lazy sponger, it's the same with merits. Of course this begs the question of why you want the merits in the first place. Pushing for merits makes yuou look like a bounty spammer.

You should also try to improve your English, or stay on your local board.

Look, if people like this kind of content they will merit it, if they don't they won't. Implying you'd like some merit for what you posted could qualify as begging to some people (to me it does). Just don't do it. If you enjoy creating these kinds of posts and helping others, just keep making them for the fun of it and don't be discouraged if you don't receive any, even if you put a lot of thought into your posts. It's completely arbitrary.

If you didn't know it was bad you wouldn't be asking the question. You've already received your answer, just don't do it.

I'm not referring bounties, not all of the members in this forum wants to earn merits for bounty purposes. I'm just being amaze reaching high rank since I'm new here. Yes, it can be use for bounty but it doesn't mean you will spam all the time. I saw many good posters (unique posts and very informative statements that a normal participant of this form don't know) and on the other hand they're participating in signature campaigns.

Question asked and answered. Lock thread to prevent the hoards of spammers please.

Pretty simple suggestion to follow for the OP
I highlighted the important areas  :)

Update:
Additionally if OP does not know how to then... It's just on the bottom left corner. https://i.imgur.com/i8VPPDU.png
