Stickity-stick-stick. A lot of people need this. It would especially help in the auction section.

I must agree with the others and encourage a move and 'sticky'. Auctions seem to have become a joke and that's sad because it's a great way to acquire pets and allow others the chance at older pets. I've never been in an auction, partly because I don't have much to bid but I also get turned off of auctions because of the ridiculousness of it all.

Yay Komi, you finished. 8D I quadruple the notion for a sticky.

The force told me that the time for voting on a sticky had passed.
Jedi Knight Komi, proud are you, hm?

" [...] you can either wait for your winner to send the trade or send a suggestion there way. Congratulations! You just hosted a successful auction!"

It should be their, not there ;D
Very nice guide, hopefully this will save auctions' reputation!

I thought I fixed that error. Oops. I'll go check again. And thank you. :] I'm adding another part about the title of your auction.

-gasp- We're stickied! I'm so happy. <333 I'm working on the "How to Bid" section right now. It should be done within the hour. Please let me know if there's anything I'm missing or if something I said should be changed. This is the same for grammar/spelling related issues too. :]

Edit: Just added the "How to Bid in an Auction" guide.

THANK YOU!
Maybe now I'll get somewhat considerable offers on my pets -_-
I've been on hiatus for a year or two, mostly inactive now.
Do not ask for my pets/characters. Thanks.

Hekomi I think you touched on this in the scamming section (under bidding), but possibly you could make it more clear about not bidding pets you don't have? like saying "blue toxic" and then bidding a blue sortic. the best way to avoid bidding a pet you don't have is to always post the pet/group with the pet for the auctioneer to see.
you could also recommend withdrawing and looking elsewhere if the auctioneer is trying to scam/doing that thing where they say one auto and then ask for more (another scam in my eyes)
those are more beginner things but I'm sure there are beginners reading this. also intelligible english would be helpful, because what I just said isn't. >>;;;
