Question about Animal Jam related subject

[Kassit]

Hey!
So, people have told me a few times that trading Animal Jam items for art done by members on CS is against the rules. Is this true? (looking for a mod/helper response only or a link to this rule if its against the rules please!)

Unfortunately this does not answer my question as it is for Pets/C$/Items/Accounts, not art.

Pretty sure the answer is the same because of the reason given for the ban:

The reason for this ban is because there have been a ridiculous number of scammers ripping people off in these trades over the past couple of months. I'm sure the majority of you are honest traders but we have never seen such high numbers of off-site trade scams at any point in CS history.

If so many people are using these trades to scam people, I'm pretty sure it makes no difference if it's art instead of CS pets.

I suggest sending in a help ticket to get an answer from the mods. I've asked the same question before and it seems uncertain, because on one hand, CS does not own your art and can't really tell you what you can and cannot sell/trade it for, but on the other, if the trades are being made over CS, then it may still fall under CS rules.

I've done so now. Thanks!

I don't know CS's official site policy, but please just keep in mind this clause from Animal Jam's own Terms of Service:



Attempts to defraud other players or take their in-game items by gaining their trust [...] are absolutely not tolerated and will result immediately in the loss of access to Animal Jam. This includes attempts to trade Animal Jam virtual items outside of our in-game trading system [...]



Even if CS ends up permitting it, please be warned that you may still risk losing your Animal Jam account if you attempt to swap AJ items for anything outside of AJ itself. I no longer play AJ myself, but when I did several years ago, I knew multiple people who claimed to have been permanently banned for cross-site trading.

This problem is resolved. Thanks <3
