Ok, so I just got this trade:

Well, yes, that's horrible trade, but see the message:

Im pretty sure UFA is Up For Adoption...I was no sure so we will see how it goes I guess
-shrug-
So wanna trade?

I PMed them nicely back saying that my punk dog was up for auction, not adoption. Yet I had to take a moment to burst out laughing.

-screams while eyes turn into flames-
Why must people do that?! D:

Edit:
No message, ready to accept... Bc

just a quick question: what does "ready to accept" mean?

I lately feel as though I am rejecting more trades then accepting them :\

Same with me, for a while now. It would be so nice if someone followed my rules for once. e.e

No for me it is more like, I don't want those pets or the offer isn't good enough *shrugs* oh well

It means they sent it as a trade, not a suggestion. If it was a suggestion, it might be implied they want you to add to their side to make the trade fair. Ready to accept means they expect you to accept the trade as is.

Oh my. I think not.

They were a COPPA'd user, so I thought I would be nice, and cancel with a little note as to how that wasn't fair. But, then I saw they joined in 2010. A quick look through their pets showed that they had pets worth that horse. Not only that, but only two were wishlist pets, and it says in my rules in BIG, RED letters that I only trade for wishlist.

Wow. Tons of people haven't been reading rules. It makes me mad, because some people take their own time making rules and finding cool pictures to make it worth while, all that and people just click the hide rules button.

I got this trade. I'm not entirely sure on the rare-to-uncommon date exchange rate, but I didn't like trading a 2009 pet for one an event rare, especially when I have the littermate, which was also on their wishlist. So I set back this. They edited it back into this horrible trade that also breaks my trade rules. No, I will not trade an 08 advent on the rares list for two pets that most users have.
