When you trade away a pet from the pound

[digby]

Is it just me or does the message that is automatically sent to you tug at your heart strings? It makes me want to cancel the trade immediately ;n;

Awwwww, I'll never forget that day when you adopted me from the pound . They were going to put me to sleep because nobody wanted me, but then you came and stroked me softly through the bars of my cage and took me home with you. And now you're sending me away and I won't be able to be with you any more . I hope my new owner will be as kind as you were to me.

View the trade that is sending me away! I don't wanna go!

It did at first, but just remember, it is just, well, fake. The message is robotic, it isn't like your real cat meowing at you in sadness.

If you don't want to see any more PMs for this, I can show you how to get rid of them for good:

You can make a PM filter to have the PM automatically deleted whenever you offer a pound pet in a trade.

Here's the page to make a filter. Where it says "Add new rule" make sure it says Subject in the box and click Next. Then choose "begins with" in the box and click Next. Then type "A message from your pet" and hit Next. Then choose "Delete message" and click Add Rule.

Now you have a rule to delete those pesky PMs whenever you want to trade a pound pet, and they'll be automatically deleted as they are sent. you'll still get the notification in your inbox and it will say "One message deleted due to private message filters" or something like that, but that's all.
