Don't jump to conclutions! I am not a mate begger hater! I am a mate begger, and I don't want to be called one.
It is not a nice name.
"Antimate beggers" is a term I made up for people who are against mate begging.
So before a weding every one was fine and never used the term mate begging but when I came back all of feral heart (But the florite plains and the lonely cave) had at least had one Antimate begger playing at a time! One is enough! I am tired of antimate beggers. It just dosn't seem right! Unless your beging mean or gross there is no rule against it. The only time they will let you pass is if you talk a person into being a mate. That terns the whole thing into some wolfy or feline romance! Asking for a mate is what wolves and feilines do in the wild!
If you agree with these turms join PAAMB, Protests Against AntiMate Beging. If we get more supporters than we can end this and then lets see if they agree with us!

Most people dislike it because it can be categorised as Spam, It sometimes turns into rule breaking, and it bothers other users. They are called mate beggars because that is what they do, they beg. I recently watched one, who followed someone around, constantly spamming, "Wanna be my mate" Yes, some are decent, but there actually aren't that many good ones, at least as far as I have seen, and as far as the community seems to have experienced. Some get nasty if you turn them down, some are just creepy and some do it to break rules (AKA the no buttswinging/mating/raping rule.)
And Mate begging has been termed ever since the game began, it is just that recently it is coined more often, and in a more broad way than before. Now any one who is just looking for a mate is termed a mate beggar, when really they are not. A true mate beggar is someone who spams and bothers and irritates everyone in a map in their constant crying for a mate. They follow people constantly asking to mate despite being told no. If that is what you are doing then yes, you are a mate beggar, and people are going to be irritated by your behaviour. But if you are not spamming the chats with "wanna be my mate" or following people, whispering random people and generally bothering EVERYONE in your vicinity, then you are truly not a mate beggar and it is a case of people over reacting. Now just asking to roleplay with a specific gender character can have people screaming mate beggar at you.
I do not think people have mate beg should get off the game, nor the opposite, and the "antimate beggars" should get lost, I just think BOTH parties need to calm down. The mate beggars for going to extremes just to find a mate, and the "antimate beggars" reacting to even the SLIGHTEST hint of looking for a mate.

Kyugima is right. There are Mate Beggars, and then there are people who ask for mates.
Asking for a protest against Anti-MateBeggars is practically asking to divide the community and have people fight with each other.
Generally not a good idea.

Heck with generally, never seems like a good idea to me. Agree with both Kyugima and Galiou.

'Anti-mate beggers' and 'mini-mods' in general peeve me off. Why people can't screenshot rule-breakers, report them and then let that be the end of it is beyond me. Because screaming at people just disrupts the peace further, not to mention making you look rather prudent. Asking for a mate is an advertisement, just like any other and should be respected as such, not flamed against. SPAMMING is an ENTIRELY different thing, as is harassment and should be dealt with accordingly via report, not by flapping your arms and going: 'GASP. MATE BEGGER KILLLIITTTT'.

I can understand both sides to this argument.
I'm not going to stand here and say I haven't rolled my eyes at a mate beggar. Most of them are short-termed; one-night-stands, in other words. They don't want a long-term rp relationship. Just "OKAY WERE MAREED LETS GET KIDS", and then they start pup/cub begging.
On the other hand, it does seems like a fast way to get someone to rp with you - readable language be damned.

I think you guys make a good point! I Am not a mate begger and I don't harass people for mates. I just simply ask them and if they say no or don't realply they tend not to be my mate. Here's an exsample of me.
<Nasanta> Is anyone looking for a female mate? I am realistic, active, and litterate! Wisper Nasanta!
<Exsample 1> MATE BEGGER! OMG!!!!!!! DIE DIE!!!!
<Nasanta> Hu?
<Exsample 2> Nasanta stop mate begging!
<Nasanta> Why? I don't understand!
<Example 3> You're mate beging and it just pisses us off!
<Example 1> Mate beging is a form of spamming! Just stop saying so mutch! I only say it like three times a day!
Thats advritiseing! but watch this! These are the days when feral heart is nice and peaceful and there are no antimate beggers who look for fauls mate beggers.
<Nasanta> Anyone looking for a realistic female mate? Wisper Nasanta!
<Example 4> Need a mate! Were are you?
I tend to wisper the tradditional way!
<Example 4> At the cape portal!
<Example 4> Ok
Soon they tend to stop playing and i half to remove them from my freind list or they just remove me and go start a roleplay of there own but here is a true mate begger!
<Example 5> Bye guys, I'm going to work on my map!
<Randomwolf> Example 5, wana be mates
<Example 5> No thanks!
<Randomwolf> PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE
<Example 5>No! Please exsept that!
<Randomwolf> I really really want to be mates!
<Example 5> Stop stalking me random wolf!
<Randomwolf> I'm sending you requests and you're not aswering them!:(

Do you think I can report them? I don't mean you cuase you don't accuse people for asking for a mate but maybe we can report the antimate beggars who accuse fuals mate beggars?
-
Actually, this happened to me once:
Me: Yo, Friend, wanna go and join a rp in Flourite?
"Friend": Can everyone download maps?
Real Friend: YEa, we both can
"Friend": Alrighty, can everyone be my mate?
Real Friend and Me: O_O WHA
"Friend": Yea, my charrie is mate-less, and I need a mate!
Both of us: No, thank you...
"Friend": Please
Both: No
"Friend": Please?
Both: N-O!
"Friend": PWWEEEZZZ???!!!!!!
Both: NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Friend": Ur a bunch of bitches! You piss meh off! Don't you want a little romance in your fucking life??!! *deletes them both and puts on ignores list*
And that was it. That was total mate begging. o.O

If they are harassing you to a extreme, swearing, and other such reportable stuff, then go ahead, and report them. But being against mate begging itself is not against the rules, and over reacting to someone looking for a mate isn't against the rules either.
-
I know but I mean when your not mate begging! Like I am advertising my self and some one comes and accuses me of mate begging! If you want to know what I mean read Kyugima's first response.
-
I know what you mean, I'm saying it is not a bannable offence, unless it gets to the point that it involves swearing or could be considered harassment.
-
oh woops sorry I didn't read your other response so i understand
-
indeed wolves and lions do that in the wild
i was doing this oine time in flou

and howling for a mate or roering for a mate is not mate begging or even asking for a mate is not mate begging i mean any animal in th wild asks for mates right?

-
I agree, unless someone keeps going like:
Random: Ur pretty, wanna mate?
You: No thanks
Random: PLEASE
You: No!
Random: PWEEEEEEEEZZZ!!!!
You: NO!
Random: Fine, you @$%*

Isis:
The most likely reason that people find this annoying is if you post it in General chat. Saying that exactly implies that you are begging for a mate. Why would you say "howls for a mate" if you were not looking for a mate?
The people on FH are not annoyed by having mates in general, it is the "mate beggars" that constantly ask for mates in the chats. Many people in FH want to use the chat as a way to communicate with their friends and other players, and yes, they will be annoyed by someone constantly asking for a mate.
That's my opinion on the matter, anyway. I get quite annoyed by the hoards of people who just constantly beg for a mate/to be your mate. Sure, having a mate is nice, as a friend that you always spend time with, but the whole buttswing/mating thing is just... obcene. And another pet peeve: people just naming their characters "Wolf F" so they can get mates. D:
I know I am quite opinionated in this, I just hope I don't annoy anyone x)
-
Well, Eagle, honestly, when you put it like that, it's true...
I feel so at war with myself xD
-
I dislike antimate beggers as well, because I have noticed that they have a habit of spamming more than the mate beggers themselves.
There have been SO many times when I would be at the plains with general turned on, and I would see this:
"Someone": Any male wolves need a female?
"Someone else": Ugh, mate beggers.
"Another guy": Can't you spam somewhere else?
"More guys": Man, do I hate mate beggers! Cut that crap out!
I understand when someone is going "I NEED A MATE, I NEED A MATE, I NEED A MATE" over and over again, but when someone asks once or twice it's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
Plus, it's any easy way to find someone who will RP as your mate.
-
Well, a way to avoid the whole argument all together, for those of you who just can't stand true mate beggers, block them. Problem solved. For those of you who start yelling and spamming the mate beggers, you are just as bad as them. Calm down, and take it maturely. Ignore the mate beggers, if they are spamming the chat, like I said, ban them! Don't start yelling: "OH MAI GAWD IT'S A MATE BEGGER, MAKE IT STOP" Because we all know it is obviously a mate begger for one, and gah...those of you who yell it out are seriously looking for trouble. >.< Yelling at a true mate begger won't make them stop. Yelling at someone politely advertiseing for a mate, is just flat out rude. Though, personally, I don't understand what is so amazing about having a mate! XDDD
-
Well...I get what so far everyone is saying, and I say, if they harass you, report and then block if it bothers you. The main reason I think it got so annoying now a days is because we have "younger" players, and its not the players fault, its their immaturity. I know some 13 year old's who act about 16, and I love hanging around them. When it comes to some mate beggers though, they have stalked my poor character BlueTyphon so much its not even funny. I actually had to block some because of that.
