Trade Rant Thread /New/

[Pideaux]

Rant: I saw a person on their rules:
If you send a trade, I DO NOT read your rules!
Lol, wat? Rules are rules. I respect your rules so why don't you return the favor and respect mine? So I decided to not trade with them xD

I am going to be honest, I do not read rules when I am the one who is sent the trade. People rarely read my one rule when they send a trade, so I do not read their usual wall of text back before I accept or cancel. It is my belief that if you are the one sending the trade, then you are already comfortable with the situation for both yourself and the person you are trading with and it is your job to ensure that you are abiding by that person's rules to make certain the other person is just as comfortable as you are. Different folks different tastes, though. I know people who would never trade with someone who hoards, and others who love hoard swapping, so it's all about finding the right people to trade with. XD

aye - not to mention that it wasn't until very recently that someone -could- read the person who sent the trades rules. it was too much of a pain previously - still is now.

I don't read people's rules if they send me a trade either. Why should I? So long as they follow my rules, they could possibly be breaking theirs to do so, so reading them is quite frankly a waste of time. A good percentage of the time, people don't follow my rules anyways

I read it just out of respect (only when they read all mine of course)

advent y u attract these trades?
I'm using this pet for art payment and it keeps getting offered on.
I'm afraid to move it in case it cancels the art payment trade. DX

Maybe they missed the very in very rare? XP

And moving pets shouldn't cancel trades. :V

I wasn't sure because the cancelled trades that other people don't intentionally cancel say "This pet has been traded or moved" something along those lines.
I'll put the pets into a locked group anyway. cX

Went to trade with someone because I have a pet they are looking for.

Except their rules were something along these lines:
-if you don't send a message I cancel
-I don't edit trades
-If you PM me about a trade I foe you

So.. me offering you your 'dreampet' and asking you to edit for what you would offer for it... will get me on your foe list?

I don't know about other users but the minute I see anywhere in someone's trade rules "I will foe you if...." I just hit the 'close' button. I have no desire to deal with people that start off their trade rules by using threats. We all make mistakes, even us older folks. Is that really necessary?

[Shezza.]

That doesn't even make sense.
RANT:
when people don't trade with COPPA users.
No I'm not COPPA. I just think that's very unfair.
