Expand the Definition of Begging in Main Chat

Expand the Definition of Begging in Main Chat
Posted 2023-01-09 14:44:48
My proposal is to expand the definition of begging in main chat to include hinting at wanting items, much like how alluding to ongoing trades is not allowed.

Examples of the begging type of comments I see frequently in main chat:
"Two of my wolves are sick and I have no medicine!"
"I ran out of amusement and my entire pack is about to leave!"
"Why is it so hard to get food in this game? My wolves are all starving!"

Why do I consider these comments to be begging? Because, if you are familiar with main chat, you can predict at least one member will rush to offer the food and/or amusement and/or medicine someone essentially asks for. Interspersed between the messages explaining how to trade herbs or get food or amusement are the ones flat out offering the items. I see this as being exactly the same as someone alluding to an ongoing trade, because a user is alluding to wanting the items.

Could this get messy to moderate without very clear guidelines on what is okay versus not okay? Yes. But I would like the thinly veiled begging comments that I frequently see in chat to stop, because begging is not allowed.

Any comments/add-ons are appreciated! I'm sure this idea can be fleshed out a bit more but this is what I currently have.
