Trade Rant Thread V.26

['Possum]

it really tweaks my nerves when people fail to leave messages for cancelling trades. there is absolutely no reason you couldn't take a few seconds to even say sorry but no thanks or something to the effect. i asked you nicely to leave me a message and you even ignored that. it just shows me that you really could care less about having decent trades.

you have been added to my foes list. sorry, but, that stuff really gets beneath my skin.

I am so sorry. My rules say that I cancel trades without a message.
So if there was already the chance that I cancel without a message why do you send a trade to me?
Usually I made a lot of exceptions from this rules. If it is a fair trade or a suggestion or the trade includes a nice message I usually include a cancel message and explain my reason. The only reason why I put this rule in my trade rules is because I have my exams during the next weeks and so I'm in a bad mood nearly all the time because I have a lot of stress.
I don't want to cancel nice trades with a harsh message just because my day wasn't that good so in moments like this I cancel without a message as my rules say.
But no I won't break my own rules because you said in your trade message that you wan't to recieve a cancel message if I decide to cancel your trade. It is my own decision how I cancel your trade and my trade rules aready warned you that I might cancel without a message.
Just no.

Sorry if I'm overreacting but I just arrived at home after a long school day and this isn't really helpful against my bad mood...

Eh, it's their loss not yours. Don't let them bother you.
There are a lot of reasonable people out there to trade with who won't get their panties in a bunch so easily. ^_^

cancelling without a message for me is better than being rude and getting a warning ouo b
because
if I'm in a bad mood
I'll most likely be very snappy upon cancelling ANY sort of trade,be it fair or not.

I don't put in my rules that I'll cancel with or without a message. If the trade looks/feels obscenely whatever, I'll cancel it...with or without a message.

Exactly.
Why risk a warning for a snappish cancel message when I can just cancel quietly. Trade's canceled, yeah, your feeling might be hurt but that's YOUR problem not mine. I'm safe and sound and warningless.

And besides, I'm an abstract breezy scatterbrain who just does what the mood strikes her to do. Quite often I can't honestly tell ya why I don't want to trade. I just don't. Sorry, I don't have to answer to anybody. Especially not somebody I don't know across a bunch of pixel pets. ^_^

I have to agree. My rules also say I cancel without a message. It's just a fact of not wanting the trade. Why should people /have/ to say why when they just don't want it?
And not for nothing...but I don't see why it's expected people have to be polite 24/7. Where some people find it 'rude' to not send a message when either sending, accepting or canceling a trade. Why can't it just be neutral? If someone doesn't want the offer they wont take it. They don't want to say why and they don't want to say 'no thanks' every time they get a bad or even good trade.
It's not rude to not send a message. It's kinda annoying how people think it's rude to say nothing.

When you have someone on your foe's list and they have pets you really want... Ugh. :c

I'm not going to un-foe them just to trade with them. xD They're there for a reason.

You could un-foe them, send them the trade, and then immediately foe them again. It still works.
I've done it a few times actually. They can't send you any trades, and they can't edit the trades either.
Or you could just add them to your foes list again after you've finished trading with them.
Just because they're on your foes list doesn't mean you shouldn't offer on something of theirs that you want. (At least in my opinion)

This happens to me.
So then I unfoe them, having forgotten why they were foed and because they have pets that I want.
I then offer them a trade.
They cancel with a mean message. So THAT'S why I foed them.....
This happens with quite a few users. Of course, I foe them again afterwards....
