The Trade Rules Review Thread (READ THE RULES)

[removed]

Anyone want to review mine?

[BuddyMaltese]

I really like your rules! I like how your rules show when they were last edited. I also like how the required part is very short, and has key words bolded. The color is dark enough to easily read, even when using multiple board styles.

The only advice I have is about the "be fair" rule, since I don't think anybody who reads rules would intentionally send a trade they thought was unfair to you.

Other than that, your rules look great!



Since no one responded to you which is against the rules, I'll review yours <3
Your rules are really neat and clean! They get straight to the point, and are also organized.
The only thing I would suggest is to change "Wishlist pets/items, C$, and current event tokens only." to "Please only offer wishlist pets/items, C$, and current event tokens." I had to re-read it to figure out what you meant at first.

@xjaysky
Your rules are nice, but seem a bit unorganized.
I would recommend perhaps centering the first section of text (the section before your goals). Also, maybe try putting the pictures of your dream pets next to each other instead of right under each other to help condense space.
And finally, the "FeatherofAthena and cinderkitty are my sister's, so we trade unfairly/use the same phone alot. Please don't ban us" is not necessary, as mods will ban people they deem rule-breakers regardless of the note or not.

Ah, thank you for that, I've been wondering what do with my trade rules for a while.
Your rules are really nice, but for me it was a little hard to read with the going top to bottom instead of side to side thing. Idk, maybe it's just me. Also I think if you could maybe do two pets on each side of that instead of two pets on one side and one on the other, and changing the dress ups as the holidays change?

You don't really have rules, more so optional information, but I like that a lot. It makes you seem approachable. I like the "Last Edited" at the bottom, as well. Perhaps I'd change the wording on a few of your guidelines/info to make them a bit shorter, but that's just my personal preference.

I'd do this:

▪️C$ balance: C$21.

▪️I have a C$ store called "C$2 for 5 pets",
but you can offer C$ on pets outside this group.

▪️All trades, suggestions, and gifts are super appreciated!

▪️I will trade my hoards for fair offers.

▪️I will never let trades rot.

@ Vixey:
Your trade rules are pretty good! The images tell people what pets you're after without cluttering the rules below. I would perhaps change the wording of rule 1, just because it starts with 'I' , which is the same as rule 2. 'As I collect them, these will boost your trade a lot!' or something similar could help differentiate it a little more. Other than that, everything is great!

@Mooshroome Your rules are nice, I love how they're not too long and the bolded words make it easy to skim and still know the basics. For me the image says "404 - Image not found," which could be an issue on my laptop but it might be something you could fix.

@MB20... I have no problem understanding your rules. Very easy to follow and easy to read. The shorter rules are, the better chance one has for a trade.

@ Windi_1

yours seem pretty clear to me! they're organised and short. i like that they're in a quote because i find the quote background colour easier to read on than that of the actual trading center :') only potential criticism is that some might find the abundance of sunbacks an overkill but personally it doesn't bother me much.

[Viozel]

@lileevine, your rules are pretty good! They get to the point and are actually helpful, and I like how you have the C$ worth list thing, it's nice for people dealing with C$. The only thing I would suggest is is putting a space between each rule, and maybe wording it like this:

-If you can see it you can trade for it

-I vaguely apply the 3 month rule and
2 uncommons = 1 rare,
2 2012 uncommons = 1 2011 uncommon, ect

-I only want wishlist/slight overpay/non- straight swaps

-I won't foe over bad trades, so don't worry about that

-messages aren't required, but if if you're suggesting something please send one.

[gremlin]

They seem more like guidelines than anything, you don't state what you don't want. I like the bold.
Maybe add something like

When trading please try and make it fair
Or something. I'm not really sure what else to say it looks good! I like the dreamie bit
