Trade Rant Thread

[Alexandra***]

I obviously am not going to say their name, but on this persons page, it said something like[I changed it up a bit so you won't automatically know who it is if you know this person]

I am getting so sick of people not following rule number one, so now, if you don't, you're getting foe'd.

Rule one:
You must include a message that is at least 2 sentences long.



I understand about the message thing, but 2 sentences long? What? Why can't I just say "Would you like to trade with me?" and that's that? Do we have to explain ourselves or something..?
That is my rant I just had to let out.

Just be glad it isn't paragraphs.

I know. I hate when people give limits to how long your message must be. This is what I put: No message + Unfair Trade = Cynder cancels with no message. Not giving limits. Just a simple 'Hello', or 'Trade?' would be fine.

I've had some pretty bad trades for my poor littledoggie...

Trade under "bad trades" tag is funneh

On the "doggie" trade, all those pets wouldn't even equal ONE of the rares they wanted from you. But, I have to say, compared to the rest, that is the best trade ever...And the other trades made my eyes explode one at a time it was so awful.

*Sigh*

I'm really trying to keep my temper low, I really am but people are REALLY pushing it...

This is a overall statement...

I have it in my rules I cancel without messages 99% of the time, I also have it I hate editing, and won't do it unless told it's okay and even then I'll likely just cancel.

My rules are SHORT, like super short.

People still every DAY get rude with me, despite even getting warned it's against site rules and reportable! (and I urge anyone that fears rude cancel messages REPORT THEM, they NEED to know it's a site rule! Look at the quote in the first post of this thread).

Today again I get a "edit!" bad trade,
http://www.chickensmoothie.com/trades/v ... GFwPdeMqPw

I cancel it with "Not fair"
They had nothing to add that I wanted

I get a follow up PM instantly chewing me out for NOT editing it, even outright stating they KNEW it was not fair, and even though it was read to accept I was supposed to edit it.

I'm fuming,
they ignored my rules, they're borderline getting pissy with me, and they're going to get rude with me over putting in a message, that I rarely do? (and that people get pissy when I don't?)

Regardless of if I leave a cancel message or not, they STILL PM me rudely... If I didn't PM so many people and use my PM's I swear, I'd set all my PM's to auto delete .

I would be laughing in their faces if they seriously wanted one of my warrior cats for one of those pets.

That SUCKS. I hate when people PM me when I cancel their trade with no message.

I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that Warrior Cats ARE actually worth something now. But, yeah, that is a pretty bad trade. I don't always leave a message when I cancel any more either. Unless the person who sent the trade took the time to type up a decent, intelligible message to start with. Then I'll apologize and politely explain back to them why I canceled. But for the ones that send trades with just a "Trade?" Or "OK?" Or best of all " " No way, you're done. No cancel message for you! And why in the hell are you smiling at me? D:

"I know this is REALLY unfair, but i dont have many good pets and this is my dream pet."

Ah, the old dream pet guilty trip... I still don't care if it's someones dream pet... I have dream pets too but, I try my best not to send terrible trades to people asking for 'em...

Yeah the "Dream Pet" line is a pet peeve of mine. That's almost a sure cancel as soon as I see it. Even if the trade is decent.
