Rant: People that cancel trades when you ask for free pets from the 'Free' group. Also, I don't put in a message if I don't have anything to say. |:

Just got this:
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... 6gk6z-2lLg

With message:
"Want to trade?
(hint: i want freebies from you that you can get for free but who gives free rares? This is practically a free rare.)"

I cancelled with:
"Try to scam another new member please."

I don't like messages that are like "You are dumb, so I will tell you this is fair and you will accept."
Yes.... my rules still state I do not trade my tokens.

If you're not trading your tokens but do trade items, then you should probably move your tokens onto a pet so people can't offer on them. You can still trade in the tokens even if they're being used to dress up a pet...
If you're not trading items all together than you should lock them.

And, that's an overpay... They weren't trying to scam you (trade wise anyways, I have no idea what that message means. o.O) but an '09 rare (even if it IS just a spider) is an overpay for 6 items you can get for free every 20 minutes...

When I have nothing to say, but I must put a message, or the trade will be canceled, I usually put;

This message requires a Chicken Smoothie Gold Account.

Stupid, yes. But it gives me a chuckle when they respond.
Rant: I hate that people expect me to read their list of rules that is made into a story-type thing with dogs & what-not. I especially dislike it when it is around 10 paragraphs long.

^This. When I visit someone's trading page just to swap the previous month's uncommons and I see a 20-paragraphs-long-story-including-their-NEEEFT-pets-with-a-random-codeword-hidden-somewhere-between-the-lines, I usually just exit.

Sent a trade to someone who posted in the Free Adoption section that she was quitting and that all her newborns needed to go, four to a person. Got this back. Yeah, I'll get right on that. -.-

Honestly, is there something wrong with my rules? What dont people get about leave a message longer than 7 words, no chatspeak or begging and no one sided trades. Is it really that hard?

aAlso a thousand times this. XD I tend to just glance at it and leave as well. It's just too annoying....we don't all have forever to read pages of texts to try and make some simple trades.

Apparently, the rules just don't apply to some people

I got a message asking about my red Cerb. Asking if he was for trade. When he is in a locked group called 'Gifts and Faves, NEFT'. IT EVEN SAYS IN HIS NAME THAT HE WAS A GIFT FROM SOMEONE AND THAT I WON'T TRADE HIM </capsrage>

I mean really, do people just think if they annoy me enough that I'll give in? Bleh.

Why would you put your tokens on a pet? Then every time you want to see exactly how many tokens you have at the exchange you have to undress your pet and then redress them? I am sorry, but if you are trading some items it is ridiculous to ask for the person to make sure the ones that aren't for trade aren't accessible. I have all of my items locked, but before items could be locked I did not use all of them at once, I enjoyed using them on random intervals. It isn't as easy with items as it is with pets, so I do not see why people expect others to go through such loops with them. In that case, a simple reading of rules really is the best course.
