The Trade Rules Review Thread (READ THE RULES)

[Vully]

Your rules look good to me but maybe size down the pictures a bit

How are mine

[sumashira]

I think they're very short, sweet, and to the point! Since it's the default font size and doesn't have any fancy formatting, anyone would be able to read it on either desktop or mobile. The little pokemon-mix picture is fun!

One thing I do notice is you don't make any mention of items, though you talk about C$. Not sure if it matters to you, but that's one thing you could add! Otherwise, your rules are very nice and thorough. :)

i see a lot of people on cs with unreasonable, or questionable rules. but your rules are almost perfect to me.
it's just, your text is quite small to read. but i do love how simple the look of your rules is, and i do admire the useful links added : )

I like how succinct your rules are. you use font size well as well as bolding. I would list more clearly that youre looking for a nonjewel for the growing white july, because it took me a few reads for me to understand what you meant. i also would put the outcomes youre looking for, not just a picture of the first stage pups. i personally dont know what those ones grew into.

Your rules are great, just a few little things I would suggest is maybe some of the rules that you have in the first paragraph be added to the list instead ("items over pets" and "quantity over quality"). It may make it easier for someone to follow and understand. Other then that they are to the point which is always good, and the addition of what your looking for in images I think is quite helpful to traders. c:

I really like your rules, and can't find much fault with them. This is my first time reviewing so I totally won't be offended if you don't find it helpful at all.

It's easy to read on mobile. The pastel colours are inoffensive and your 3 main rules are short and simple; I struggled at first to understand the third rule but perhaps adding commas "Offer, or offer on, less than 10 pets at a time." would make it more readable. c:
The guidelines are good and the layout makes it nice and easy to quickly scroll back up to take another look at the main rules in case they're forgotten, as it's short and everything is nicely titled.
There's some other things I haven't included but they're more personal preference and not big issues, but you're welcome to PM me if you want it all ~

I'm really looking for advice on the wording and layout of my trade rules, as I think it can get a little confusing but haven't an idea on how to improve.
Thank you in advance for your help c:

First of all, the organization is absolutely gorgeous, it's nice to read. I can read it on mobile which is always a big plus for me considering majority of the time I'm on mobile. Perhaps to make it better, I would add a little color to the bolded font so it pops out more and it'll be an eye catcher. I also would put bullet points for each point you have under every catagory. I will be honest, the "THANKS FOR READING", sounds like you're yelling and I would change it to bolded regular lettering with a color added to it instead of the all caps.

I really like you rules! super quick to read, tells me what you want and I like the little graphics as bullet points. really the only thing I would change is just a little more space between points so the eyes dont accidentally jump over something, I personally find it difficult to read when the spacing is too close together so I tend to put giant spaces in between to compensate but its not necessary to change if you dont want to

-----------------------------------

my rules have more or less been the same since the last time I posted on here. personally I like when other people have super short rules but when i'm editing mine all I see is information I think is crucial, but I feel like they're a bit long.

I just added a TL;DR (too long didn't read) hoping that would make things a bit quicker for lazy people such as myself. I'd mostly like some insight on information in my rules that other people simply don't need even though I think they do (if that makes sense...)

Ooh, love the TDLR!

It’s easy to follow and I think it has a really nice flow. My suggestion would be to maybe look into a different red? i find it kind of loud but I don’t want to insult you? but overall it’s very nice and I like it quite a bit.



I’m wondering if my “rules” are too much- like if there’s to much to scroll through and it’s annoying?

[hxneystorm]

i wouldn't quite say that your rules are really... "rules", persé; they seem like more of a place to simply thank whoever has gifted you and whatnot, rather than actual trading guidelines.
the layout seems a little haphazard and out of line, and the part where you have included a little note about sharing ip addresses with your sister isn't centred like everything else is. also, speaking of that, i doubt the mods will actually look to your trade rules to see the reason as to why you share an ip address with another user, so i personally feel it's a little unnecessary to have it there.

the section where you note your lgbt+ hamsters hoard is fine, however, you asking to be gifted them when you previously asked for two other people to be gifted instead of you appears a little contradictory, as well as the fact that you're asking to be gifted in the first place.

i would recommend fixing the layout a little bit, possibly making it a little more symmetrical and easier to read through? it's not exactly difficult to read through, just a little off and a bit too much to scroll through with their actually being so little text, like you suggested. a little more colour to even it out and make it a little easier on the eye? the little plant pixel and sushi cat are cute, though they feel a little out of place.


i apologise for the long, kind of harsh review aaa. it's been a while since i've last been on this thread- how are my rules?
