Trade Rant Thread v. 28 *Another Rule Update*

[kaseylu]

I really don't like this rule at all... It kind of takes away what I thought was the purpose of this thread.
To rant about trades and talk with other people about bad trades they have gotten.
Now we can just post and say or do nothing else..... : (

Come on where are these Purple April dogs? I can't find anymore!

And every time I send a trade, it gets canceled! : (

[RadicalEdward]

Waah, I know I said I'm okay with "What do you want for this" kind of trades but I didn't plan on everyone to make them with me...

i'm not really a fan of this rule
I liked being able to have some kind of chit-chat with others.

*insert obligatory complaint about the new rule*
I actually think it's a good rule, people took things too far...
Just be glad the thread didn't get locked like some of us expected it to.

Buhh, I feel so nervous when trades don't get accepted or declined after a couple days. I keep thinking they're letting it rot because my trade was lame or something but then I try to remind myself that people have lives and that's probably why, but /then/ I think I'm being too optimistic ;3; Argrugurgh

wah i made a typo ;n;

Please read the new rule:

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

There have been a growing number of arguments on this thread that tend to escalate quickly. As it is, this thread is touchy since it is the only place on the site that allows a rant about another member. A lot of people are seeming to pick up the trend of telling the ranter why their trade was wrong, or how they shouldn't complain. Posting "MY EYES ARE BURING" isn't exactly constructive either. There are very few posts anymore that are legitimately helpful. The Good Trade Thread doesn't allow comments, so there is really no sense in allowing them here either, especially since this thread is full of negatives.

so we can't comment on other posts at all? or can we reply to a rant and then include our own, to make it non-spam? i'm just wondering c:

We don't want any comments on other rants.

Sorry you guys don't like the new rule, but it was either try this or lock the thread for good. Cleaning up endless arguments that can be easily prevented made no sense whatsoever and had only led to hurt feelings and irritation for everyone.

now if only this rule applied to the "things that annoy you thread".

[Chouhesi]

I understand that some people send/decline trades without a message...
But sometimes it is really annoying.

I send this as a suggestion:

Would you be interested in working out a trade?
I'm no that experienced in higher list trades but I've tried to make at least an attempt to a close to fair trade

I admit that I'm not close to sure about the "close to fair trade" but the way I understood the gap list at the rares list the gap between the red tox and my line tribal is really that large.

An got this back as a trade:

?

Because I had the feeling like that was unfair to me I send it back as a suggestion:

Sorry I might be wrong but as far as I know the gaps on the main list are a little bit bigger

And what do I get back?

?

I'm so happy about this "conversation"

[aaliyah.]

Just need 30 CS$, so I send someone a trade with a 2009 rare, ask her how much CS$ she would offer.
got this back with the message ;;



Im not really interested in rares for $C but, i think 5-6 C would work...



this wasn't even worth a cancel message. :s
