New Rule for Signatures - Rule is now actively enforced!

[MunchiiMoon]

So it no ones allowed to bar you from trading with them even if they don't like hoarding.

I don't understand the phrasing of this, so I will try and answer the best I can.
A person has the right to not trade hoard pets to a hoarder if they do not support hoarding.
A person can say they do not support hoarding or are anti-hoarding, but they cannot say that do not support hoarders or anti hoarders.
The difference is supporting the action compared to supporting the person.
If the message is toward the person and not the action, then that can be reported.
Action = Hoarding
Person = Hoarders
It's basically the way it is said really.
And that is basically what is being said here.

I dislike that it won't be as big an effect on trade rules as I thought shame that people are still going to be rude and not trade with hoarders. Shame people are still allowed to bar hoarders from trading with them. seems like this will only effect coppas looks like the hoarder hate is gonna continue people just won't be able to put up I hate hoarders messages in their trades.

Personally, not aiming this at anyone to hurt feelings, I don't support hoarding due to the fact that I believe everyone should be able to have one while someone has a large quantity that they are hoarding. But I will not turn around and start bullying them because of it.

Members are allowed to decline a trade for any reason, we can't force members to trade with people they don't want to. However, members are not allowed to say nasty things to each other, so if someone declines a trade saying "I hate hoarders" then you should report them. It's their right to decide who they will/won't trade with but it's not an excuse to be rude to each other. If someone declines a trade saying "sorry I won't support your hoard" then that's well within their right to do so, really. It's not a personal attack on you, it's just a disagreement with the way you choose to play the game. If someone doesn't want to trade with you because of something silly like hoarding, just find someone else to trade with.

Yay, this relieves me so much from people saying they are against my religion/way of life or opinion in their signature. Thanks so much!

Aah so I finally see this and I realize I don't need to worry about someone having 'I hate *insert-offensive-to-me-thing-here*' in their signature! *Claps loudly*

[chromatica]

thank you! I've seen way too many sickening anti-lgbt stamps/messages that have made me feel pretty bad inside. why spread hate when you can spread love? c:

I actually see nothing wrong with the signatures saying someone wishes a celebrity to jump off a cliff and do a flip. I used to have a WEBSITE based on those.

I DO hope that putting "97% of teens would cry if they saw Justin Beiber standing on top of a sky scraper, about to jump. If you're one of the 3% who would sit there eating popcorn screaming "DO A FLIP!" as he hurtles torwards the possibly tattered safety net, then copy and paste this to your profile." *is okay.

no it's no
umm it's not allowed as it constitutes as hate and it's celebrity death wish as well so please don't put it in your signiture it's not allowed also thats just an attempt to bend the rules so no it wouldn't be allowed

I have a question, would 'i dont support hoarding' or 'i hate hoarders/refuse to trade with hoarders' also fall under this rule? C: i think it does, just wanted to be sure!

I didnt see any comments about this so reposting c: would really like to know as there is quite a lot of hoard hating still going on, specifically in trade rules.

I'd say this kinda depends on the wording, certainly anything which is anti hoarders can be reported, because that's attacking a group of members. Saying "I hate hoarders" or something would be reportable. But being against hoarding is kind of just a gameplay tactic, I wouldn't say it's inherently offensive to hoarders if someone is anti-hoarding? Not everyone has to go about their collection in the same way, I would take that to mean they personally don't like to hoard but it wouldn't make me feel bad about hoarding.

Thanks tess, that makes sense c:

Okay, thanks Tess! I just started CS here, and only got active these few days. I didn't see anyone on CS with these before, but I'm still glad that this got established.
