Beggars are scum. They should be punished and harassed for the same reason as gold farmers - to destroy the incentives that bring them to game.

There was a beggar in IF recently, /yelling for money. I also discovered that he was opening trade windows with random people by the mailbox. So I gave him some knothide scraps to annoy him, but I kicked myself when I realized that it was still worth a few silver, which is more than he deserved. So I used the trick I learned here recently:

/emote throws money on the ground for [beggar].

His shout spam actually shut up for a few minutes. It started up again later, this time with the addendum "and no tricks!"
