Trade Rant Thread v. 27 *new rules*

[BubbleAndFizz]

Asking to trade my red grinner for a purple, I get this message:


This is green:

and this is not: It's called red and it's definitely not on my WL nor in my trade thread according to my rules which weren't hidden from your eyes. SO next time when you'll decide to trade and see probably the title, make some more effort and click once more to see which one I'm exactly looking for because word "swap" doesn't mean I'm looking for any other colour. Just the same as you're trading for exactly one missing outcome, saying "swapping for 'this one'" =/= swapping just for another one.
Thank you for wasting our time c:


This is totally unacceptable!! How can you report a trade message??
Gosh it's just a bunch of pixels

Yes, report it. You could probably report the account with a link to the trade and a quote of the message.

There should be a little button on the top right of the message that looks like an exclamation point in a triangle. Click on it, then fill out the form as you see fit.

I didn't even understand a word of what the other was trying to say. Swap is just that...swaping for another in the same litter. I'd report them.

That's only if you receive PMs for your trades. Many people have this function turned off as to not spam their inbox.

This rat is from their wishlist. They said in their rules that they are looking for wishlist.

It took me a few minutes to register as well.
I think they were basically getting snippy because they were offered a "non-ideal" Grinner swap. They wanted the green one in exchange for their purple one, but lemonpie offered them a red one instead.
I don't think they explained it as well as they should have, lol. Maybe English isn't their first language.
In either case, they were unnecessarily hostile, especially for such a simple offer.

*Facepalm*
Oh yes, I forgot about that. I personally keep my trade messages open in case I need to reply to a question or something.

Hehe, sorry if I gave some bad advice there.

Second time in a week I've gotten one of those.
Same person.
You'd think they'd learn after the first time
Primarily that they should read my rules first
