Okay, I'm gonna say this.
If your pet is:
- Special to you.
- "you worked hard for it"
- "you worked your butt off in some competition to get it"
- "you can't give it up"
- you "can't possibly trade it away"
It should be locked or given some indication that it's never for trade.
I can't tell you how many trades I've sent out in the last few days were people have said that and cancelled.
Well, how the heck was I supposed to know!?
Make some indication and you won't waste my time.

So I send a trade,,, then get this: "
_________ has cancelled your trade offer.
You can http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... -iMxVKTTPQ in your trading center.
________ included this message when they cancelled the trade:
'Um eww
Why would I want to
Trade with you
Bad trades are infesting
Me like disgusting goo
And with a trade like this
I have a mind
To sue'


e.e My trade wasn't bad. It was more than fair.

Here. Ugh.

They sent it as a suggestion.
Because one of my rules is to please leave a message, they wrote "suggestion"
They didn't even try.

@Anna: I fixed it

Auto Cancels I won't even bother writing a cancel message if you do any of the following
_Offering pets for MY items. (I'll make a exception for my DIY cake set though; Feel free to offer pets for it)
_Asking for overpay for your pets/items (Unless it's high high in demand. Seriously, I find it rude. If I want to overpay I'll seek it out myself.)
_Rude trade messages
_Having more than 10 NFT pets in your open groups (If its a editable trade)
_Begging or sob stories (There is no reason to beg or make up stories for pixels.)

All of those rules were reasonable IMO,but this one disturbed me for a rather stupid reason >.<:

_Having more than 10 NFT pets in your open groups (If its a editable trade)

I can't help thinking that lots of people (from 2012 users to 08s,whom I all admire) display all their gifts with "I love you ______ Thank you!" and they are obviously NFT.Does that mean that someone who wants to show their gratitude through pet names and displaying them instead of doing it in their trade rules can't trade with you?Slight grumble,but afterwards I was a bit scared to trade with that person...

Lol, I meant if you send it as a "suggestion". Trades are fine. I just don't feel like wading through NFT pets to find a pet I like *cuz I'm lazy like that.*

Just got this as a bid in my auction.

When people send you a trade and tell you to edit and send back.
Well, you don't have any pets on my wishlist DX
Oh, well.
I'll humor you...
