Trade Rant Thread [v.20]

[cloudstarwolf]

I would just. ... I want people to read. That's all. Please. Read. The. Thread. okay?
I need size "over ninethousand" for text. Even this doesn't work well.

1.) I have locked and blocked all pet groups that are NFT or only for wishlist pets. As the rest of you should.

2.) Rude and stupid trades with be answered with rude and often times hilarious responses. And then posted on the trade rant thread so that others can laugh at you as well.

3.) If you really want to me to accept the trade, then you should tell me why. ;P Because I appreciate messages with the trades, it will increase my chance of acceptance by about 30%.

4.) Don't send me a trade with a pet that you want and a message like, "what do you want for this." If something is on my wishlist, then you can be darn sure that I will want that pet. You will not avoid having to trade that pet by not offering it. If you don't have pets on my wishlist than you can be darn sure that I will want something decent. If you don't want to trade a pet that is on my wishlist or decent pets period, THEN DON'T MAKE THE OFFER.

5.) If you have read these rules they please put "I <3 REMOVED!" in your message. I myself never really use code words but when some one tells me that they love REMOVED, I am alot more happy to do business with them. If you give reasons for your love then I will be even happier. Happier as in giving you a ridiculously awesome trade.

Some parts of those were bolded in red.
I just... why be so rude? I guess I should've known when I was put off by their rudeness in the post I found them through.
(Where it says "REMOVED" I took out a name there just in case it means something.)

This is not what I meant by Trade down

Honestly, it seems like a lot of people think that when you say "Trade down", that you will just trade your main list pet for a handful of commons.

Oh dear. This is worrying.

I'm so sorry I have a life off of CS. Off-sight trading with someone and I sent them the amount requested and come back to see that they had traded one of the pets I bought to somebody else! Argh! We had a deal, they were the ones edited the trade that way, asking for that amount and just GAH! Is it really that hard to be patient? it took 2 days, we kept in contact even >.<;

That's why trading with off site currency is usually frowned upon and why real life money transactions for pets became against the rules. Mods don't have a way to handle the situation since the trade wasn't done on site (i.e. $CS for pets, pets for pets, items for pets, pets for art, etc.) and they can't reverse it based on "he said she said" without evidence. Which is also pretty hard to provide if you did the negotiating off site.

-_- is it so hard for people to follow thread rules? There are separate threads for advent and general december people! I go to check the december swap thread and it's filled with people asking for/offering advent pets! GAH!

It's not even that I "lost" money, I just feel betrayed, doesn't mean I'll stop by all means but dogonnit XP After the other trade auto cancelled they sent a bad suggestion saying

hi,
my parents dont let me go on CS...they installed a system to block it...I bypassed it but I can't type xD please excuse me if I do things without a message. thanks!
