xD Yeah, that's reportable. Have you considered locking the group for trades the apple is in? Or did you get that by PM?

This has to do with a trade!

There is this girl and she asked for my dog Tristan and I said, 'Sorry, Tristan is my best friend.' and I cancled. So she says,
'The fake dog is your friend? XD' and then laughs at me! That is just so rude and mean to someone who loves her pet. Then, if they are so fake, then why don't you all give away your free favorite pets or pets that you love? You don't give them away cause you love them. She was just so rude.

wow....... i can be rude i no for a fact but you should be nice to people yu dont know

Grrr. Someone offered me a snow dog from this years advent (the one that had the cat on the same day) for my august 08 pink ballon and the message was "I think this is fair don't you?" then i canceled and said "No, no i do not." and then she messaged me and was like BUT WHY NOT? And she really put all of those emotions plus more. I haven't heard a message back but i said, because your dog is from dec 09 and mine is from August 08.

Edit: heres the message they sent back:
I don't think that thats a dog from then because it was an advent calender. I just got thata dog a couple of days ago.

I really don't know what they are talking about, since this is really what they put, but i said, look this is the dog grown up you can check the date on it.

it's so mean when people treat new members meanly. i think all CS members should be treated equally. "i don't trade with n00bs" is just downright mean

Agreed. I also hate it when people give new members common pets for super rares since the new member does not know better. That happened to me when I first joined. I had a rainbow maned (I had no clue how valuable it was), and an older member offered me a cool looking (but very common) horse for it. Of course I accepted it, and I am still looking for another rainbow maned horse.

that happened with my evil pps that i love so much, but thank goodness i got another one kinda cheap! *huggles Nadejda*

I don't think anyone's ever tried to cheat me when I was a newb. I do remember several people being really nice, though. A few even gave me, like, a BUNCH of free Nov. 08 pets. ^^

I have made trades I've seriously regretted, though. >.> Like, I traded my rainbow mane for a white sortic, before I knew how rare they were. xD I want to kick myself every time I see a rainbow mane, now.

[HonouNoKage]

yeah, one player gave me a ton of good pets for my second gen. (thanks, you know who you are!) i was all happy. but i still miss Sharon, my old evil pps that i got cheated out of. now i don't trade newborns. but thank God i've got Nadejda, my new one!

[Cirque]

i don't know why, but when i was a newbie people were extrodinarily nice to me. most people traded their pets for 2nd. gens or very common horses of mine, and people gave me pets that people trade a decent amount for for free. i feel really bad for the people that were ripped off when they were a newbie though. i fortunately was never scammed as a newbie.

[Seasonal]

When I was new... well, I didn't go on the forum, and pretty much everyone was a "n00b". So, no one was specifically kind to me just because I was new. And I was never scammed, actually, which surprised me. My first trade was a January litterswap, and everything after that was good. I *thankfully* didn't trade my Toxic because she was my first pet.

I don't think newbies should all be stereotyped as bad members. We were all new at once - hey, even the staff members were new to CS at some point. But, if a newbie is scammed, it's not the other person's fault - they should look up values before trading. Plus, if they're both happy, I think it's fine.

That's what I don't like, though - newbies being stereotyped in trades.
