I agree wholeheartedly. I was honestly under the impression that Begging was against the rules because it pressures people and pressuring people is incredibly rude. That is what I thought. If I read someone in a Type Race thread mentioning, "hey I'm looking for spares of [mon that matches Type Race team] of [preferred nature] so if anyone comes across any and wants to send them I'd really appreciate it" that is quite literally just... stating that you might be looking for something specific for Type Race that imo is not at all pressuring. In fact, I personally am someone who loves helping people with this! In fact sometimes I will quite literally offer to make breeding pairs for people on my team if they're struggling to find a pair or someone to lend them that pair. I actually like helping people during a collaborative event. And sometimes I forget to make that offer in my team thread, and even when I do some people might not need a whole pair and might just be looking for spare mons to make the pair themself, some people may not want to PM for whatever reason, etc. And in that case, how would I ever know that I could send someone a mon that will help them if they're not allowed to ever ask? heck sometimes I myself put in a "hey I'm trying to put together a [nature pref] pair of [this mon I might hunt later], so if anyone has any extras I'd appreciate if you consider me and if I come up with extra pairs from these, I'd be willing to give them out to other team members to keep!" As it stands, at this point, unless I'm leading the thread, I only ever post in my team thread to get myself on the click list, tell people if i run out of adopts for the day and can offer my pass, hatch a melan, or if I have a surplus of specials left over I make my one allotted post offering to my team that they can PM me for a single special. For a collaborative team event, I hardly actually "interact" with my team (with "interact" in quotes as of course I interact in the sense that a click in gameplay is an interaction, but in terms of TR team community, I hardly ever do). Collaboration is in my opinion, the very spirit of type race. The restrictions make it hard to make that happen.
