Trade Rant Thread v. 28 *Another Rule Update*

[geotalon]

I have a noncoon, a nonswirl, and a sunback offer or my ur aussie... and I even have a joker offer.
I'm not sure which one to take, it's getting very hard to choose. I want the sunback and joker, but I'd much rather trade down even if I overpay... but the sunback and joker is very very tempting for me. For a while no one was interested that would even offer /fair/ pay, but now all these hit me and I'm so confused and ahhggh. Should I just take the sunback or joker, then art for more high list pets? @o@

Not sure what's better, these hard-to-choose offers or looking at 100 C$ for it...

Wishin' I could find another Sunback and Joker dog. I swear I'm gonna keep them this time too!

Locking this one a few pages early since Atwood has helped make the rules much more condensed. I want to get them put up quickly to help everyone. Please read all the way through the updated rules (there are only 9 rules now, so it shouldn't take too long).

1. Do not reply to another person's post in this thread.
That means do not comment on what other people post. Your post must be a rant. Anything else will be considered spam.

2. Do not give out usernames.
Naming the person you're ranting about is considered bullying or harassment. Additionally, do not PM someone asking for the username of the person who sent the trade, as it is still seen as bullying. This includes asking because you want to trade with them.

3. If you see an offer you made being ranted about, don't make a scene or reply.
They have the right to rant and so do you, but we don't need an unnecessary fight breaking out. If they didn't like your trade offer, no big deal, trade with someone different next time. If they're lying about you, report it to staff.

4. No name-calling and insults. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
All members are to be treated with respect, regardless of how they trade. This includes COPPAed members, hoarders, new players, older players, 'noobs', people with weak English skills, etc. Rants that are directed at particular groups of players and/or how they play (e.g. anti-hoarding rants, rants against COPPAed members in general) are not permitted.

5. No spamming.
All posts must be rants about trades. Complaining about a lack of trades, a trade taking too long to be accepted, people having not-for-trade pets in open groups, being foe'd, getting bad advice from the FTT, etc. is off-topic and will be deleted. It is also spam to repost a rant - if you've already ranted about it, there's no reason to rant about it again. Including things like "I think I'll quit", "I might as well quit", or anything of the like is also spam, as it looks like fishing for attention or gifts to 'make you feel better'.

6. DO NOT complain about receiving offers on pets that are 'not for trade'.
If some of your pets are 'never for trade', lock the group they're in so people can't offer on them. Your group trade settings are found at the bottom of the pet group's page. If you still want to be able to get offers on them, wishlist-lock them.

7. DO NOT make up bad trades to post here.
Deliberately sending bad trades or asking for bad trades so they can be ranted about here is spam and is not permitted. It is also not permitted to lie about what the other person said or did, and you can be warned if you post false trade messages or invent stories about receiving horrible trade messages from someone.

8. It is never acceptable to have death notes/threats in trade rules, group names, etc. It's also against the rules to have a public trading 'blacklist'.
If you see something like this PLEASE report it to staff immediately.

9. Please report extremely rude or mean trade messages.
If someone sends you a trade with a very rude message (e.g. 'Die in a hole', 'You're so stupid!') or one with very bad language in it, you can report them by going to their profile and clicking 'Report this player'. In the report, include a link to the trade so we can easily see what they said. Remember, if they said it to you, they may have said similar things or worse to other people who might not know they should report it.
