It' may not be that. It's possible some people (Not all, obviously, sadly enough.) are on slower internet, so they can't rezz the picture in fast enough. They're fairly large images, so for some internet speeds, they may be too large for them to be patient.

Though I'll give you, and anyone else here who wants it, a little piece of graphic that's worth it. X3 It almost works, and sometimes does. I just don't use it anymore.

The person who animated it added some black lines in, but ehh, it works enough. Feel free to redo/resize/recolour/rewhatever things as much as you like. I don't mind a bit.

But I highly recommend not using graphics for rules, there's too much of a chance that someone won't want to wait for them to load. Though, to be honest? No matter what, some people are just a bit too inconsiderate to read through short settings anyway, graphic or printed.

In three words: Use Your Brain

Offer WL pets and take pets from trade groups - and you follow the rules intuitively without reading them!

I do so very often. I do what I would like to be done by someone who's trading with me.

I don't demand following my rules (I have some trade preferences though) as long as you use you brain xD

Codewords are stupid.
I made a good offer, and they replied saying "you didn't use the code word" and canceled. Really? Who cares if I didn't say it. I did type a message. I said, "Is this okay, of not feel free to edit! ". ;__; I punch codewords in the face. =x

Yeah, that's what I think, too... -_-'
Besides: if the codeword is at the top of their trade rules and I read a bunch of don't do this and don't do that, in the end, I FORGOT ABOUT THE CODEWORD... arrr D: It has happened so often, I really hate codewords now.

Got a trade today: 3x 2010 common hoard pet for yellow rare Android.
Without a message.

Nah, don't be sad. Still use your graphics, just type things out above it. You could even go silly with it like, "For fun and amusement, these trade settings are glorified for your enjoyment below in...graphic form!" Okay, so I'm a bit silly, but have fun with it, and use both. No need to go cold turkey. *winks*

I agree, oh mighty Odin! I can't stand codewords. (Especially those that keep changing if there is/what color there is/which word there multiple codeword lines. >.> Nothing is more annoying. Granted, I read their trade settings, and respect them, but I look at it like I'm told to jump through a hoop, bark and eat my 'treat' for getting to trade with them. I'm much more encouraged to not close their trade window if they don't have one at all.

But, sadly, it's all about respect. If they want you to put a codeword in, and you ignore this request, expect it to be canceled and for them to edit and send back and say, "Now sit up like a good doggy and say my word!" Okay, not literally, but again, that's how I see it. *grumbles* Anyhow! Expect it, point blank. If you don't want to deal with that? Then go somewhere else. Nothing's simpler.

PS, since you're Odin and all, can you get me Loki's autograph? Pretty pretty Thor with cheese? XD

[yumekari]

Well, I'm not one to complain much, but it is annoying how people keep sending very unbalanced trades for a pet that clearly says 'Alacrity bones only' in their name AND my trade description... >< Only means only, please D8

x3 Nice Flitter. Whenever I get a trader who wants a code word, I always put in my message. "I read your rules but did not put the code word due to my personal preferences."

That normally works :3

People cannot read. Or, you know, comprehend rarity.
Cueball Pony, A horse from last month, Night PPS foal, and a Pink Punk Store dog, of which I have two full sets.
For my Favorite-Group Joker.
BRILLIANT.
I know that group had been closed to trades; strange things have happened to my account since I've been gone.
