come on share with me some Merit ...
Don't ask for merit, some DT may tag you (if they know) accusing that you are begging (!) for merit. It's better not to talk about merit. If your contents are good you will be rewarded today, tomorrow or anytime in the future.
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.
