I still struggle with WHY this has to be so convoluted 🫠

I will admit I made a team trading thread because I genuinely thought it would be easier for everyone and it's something that even was discussed in the original announcement where the TR thread rules were being broken. It wasn't mentioned that would be an issue when I brought it up then so I mistakenly assumed it was the right thing to do. I was wrong and I'm okay with being wrong.

But why the effort to keep everything in PMs and so secretive? It's so weird to me. If someone posts in the thread looking for help and someone replies saying they WILL help, I feel like this is going to encourage more people to ask for help, out in the open where it can been seen. People often are anxious about sending PMs - I really go out of my way to make myself approachable in regards to questions or asking for help and I [I]still[/I] have had people hesitant to send me a message.

I have mentioned it before and I think it deserves mentioning again that the TR is about the community and helping each other. Or at least that's how I have interpreted it. It shouldn't be so difficult to help someone, for both the person wanting help and the one wanting to give it. I just want a clear way to offer help that is easy for everyone to see and use. I personally don't think PMs are it, and maybe a TR help thread isn't it either. But we need something better than what we have now, which is praying someone will send us a message.

Edit: I hope this didn't come off as aggressive, I just really like to help people and want to be able to without feeling like I'm going to get in trouble for doing so. It's something very important to me and I feel very passionate about it. I know it's a lot of work to wrangle so many people and so many items, and I appreciate the time you take in reading my post ❤️
