Them:

could i adopt this pet if not do you have any other pets i could adopt

Me: *cancel* I'm not the Salvation Army.

They violated so may rules I don't even know where to begin.

1. Asking for freebies
2. Poor grammar
3. suggestion
4. Open-ended trade

I understand the other three rules, but "poor grammar" seems a little much to ask. There are un-coppa'd people who are under thriteen, you can't expect them to use completely proper grammar all the time. I know my brother never does on any of the websites he visits. Thats a little much IMO.

Just had to throw that out there.

Well most people demand that people leave messages, and one of my rules is that they should leave a message UNLESS they use chatspeak or poor grammar/spelling. So really, they could have just not said anything. I'd accept that trade of it wasn't a fail even if they used incorrect grammar, but it still irritates me.

But what you have to remember you have to remember they might not be COPPA but you are only COPPA if you are under 13 in Amarica. You are not 100% sure that they are over 13 because they might be from the UK. Or anywhere else. ♥

I've had two COPPA users spamming me with trades in the last day. One sent a suggestion with nothing on my side, and after I edited they sent it back with nothing on my side again, on and on until I finally cancelled. Then they sent another one. /cries The other sent a ton of horrible trades like this for my poor Malk heart kitty, which is even named "Feb 2009" to show its true date. I sent nice, hopeful messages to both of them every time, but it never got any better.

Then I got this one, which is unfair and breaks my rules. They begged, too.

I just got a trade from someone asking what I wanted for two of the common this month b-wolves. They said 'is there in my trades that is worth these pretties? n_n' I ask for two this month uncommons, cat and dog and they cancel with 'no thank you same times but rarities are off but thank you tho n_n'. You could have told me what you were willing to give for them instead of going n_n all the time. -_-'

PLEASE people! Dates!

what else do you want? I need this cat so bad!

(Note: None of the pets they offered are on my WL)

They broke one rule, rares for rares only.. That's okay, I'll go edit! ^^

All their groups are locked >_>

My cancel message: None of my pets are free, don't ask for free pets. That's rude.

case you don't feel like counting, there are 129 pets.

No message, though the user isn't COPPA'd, and it's ready to accept. -sobs-

What did I do to deserve this?

Oh.My.Word. It's bad enough when people beg for free pets but that many?! This is madness! *Pats on back* I doubt you did anything to deserve this- it was probably just a bad trader begging for free pets or something like that.
