Trades are being weird?

Postby Michael's Fan. » Wed Apr 18, 2018 10:20 am

hey i would contact the staff, but my email isnt working right now.
How come I tried to give my brother Lugnut (who i have been begging to play cs for months) some rares and it said You can only have one account???
I am just being nice and giving him a few things to start off with out of sheer nice-ness.

The site thinks that you have a second account, because your brother presumably lives at your place...
Thus, you probably have to let the mods know that ^^

That message shows up automatically when you trade with someone who is using the same IP address. It doesn't really mean anything though, since there are enough families on CS that watching everyone who shares an IP would be pointless. It's generally best not to gift each other too much though, as that can look suspicious. Occasional gifts are fine, just try not to be doing it constantly.

Its not necessarily saying you can't trade with your brother, but letting you know that the trades need to be legitimate, and you're not multi-accounting.

Staff has been cracking down more and more lately on one-sided trades going from people who use the same IPs and devices, AND with that, they're becoming more strict in what determines a user as "active" so definitely be careful when gifting each other. It's best to just avoid doing it too often and better to send normal two-sided and fair trades to each other.
If you or your brother doesn't get on much, I suggest avoiding it.

Being her brother.. and being new.. I don't have a clue what fair is yet lol. I try to make them fair for her as well but I am probably giving noobie stuff for nice stuff..

I will figure it all out eventually though :)
