Suggestion - Trade Rules

Postby Infinity » Wed Mar 11, 2015 7:30 pm

I think you guys should implement the ability for a player to list a set of trade rules when you trade with them.
For those of you who use CS you know what I mean.

I think trading "guidelines" would be more helpful.
Also sounds friendlier.

D: I'm sorry to say I don't support this.
I like having trade threads, I feel like people put more effort into them when trade rules on the trade page aren't there.

You can put your trade rules there on the forum, too.


But if it is implemented, I wouldn't mind at all.

Are you saying you feel that people put more effort into trades when they have to go through your trade thread? The only [not really a] problem with this would be if your trading partner didn't find you through your trade thread (for instance, if they just chose to trade with you because they saw your post on a forum game or the monthly chat or whatever).
It's a flip-flop kind of thing because, like you said, you can put your trade rules on the forum, but you can also put the forum in the trade rules as well. I think people are just as likely to read one as the other.
I wouldn't mind either way, but I'd prefer if we could get trade rules (I agree with Hyensa that "guidelines" might be a better word) some day. I'd like to know exactly what my trade partner is looking for even if I just randomly went straight to a trade with them instead of having to click through their posts to find their thread, and I'd like for them to know what I'm looking for as well.

Honestly i dont want trading rules. Maybe when someone clicks trade with me, on the trading page theres a link to your forum post.

If you do not want trade rules, could you not just leave yours blank? Or post a link to your forum post, like you said.

I don't have a very strong opinion on this topic, but I'll toss out my thoughts on it. :)

The only way I would really support 'trade rules' is if there was a way to ensure that it only contain that user's rules or guidelines, and no other junk or spammy stuff. I'm not really sure what could be done to prevent that, though, maybe a very restrictive character limit and keep it plaintext (i.e. no images, no special formatting, etc)?

Personally, from my trading experience here, I find most users are pretty good about using common sense, which is what a majority of the rules would likely be. ^^'

Well what if they were predetermined?

For example:
I do/do not trade newborns
Pets in (group) are/aren't for trade


I'm sure everyone could pitch in and we could come up with a lot of these that would be useful.

I kind of like this. Like, do a check system when creating rules, so you have premade rules that you can do. Then you could have an option of a good bye message or something?

Example:

[ ] I do trade newborns.
[x] I do not trade newborns.
[ ] Please no one-sided trades.
[x] Please send a message with your trade.

[x] Good bye!
[x] Thanks for trading with me!
