Trading Guidelines- Please Read

[Emma]

Sorry, for the caps, but wanted to get people's attention!

Just a few guidelines on posting trades in the trading section, as I've noticed quite a few things that shouldn't necessarily be happening!

1) Ref links
Ref links cannot be posted in the trading system, in response to someone's advert, or in the actual trade advert themselves! ie "I'll go green in return click here to go green for me" or £10 to go green on blah blah blah my ref link is.........
Ref links can only be exchanged WHEN a trade has been agreed between both parties. This means the original poster has to say yep sounds good BEFORE exchanging links. Links can be sent via PM, though we much prefer it if you were to post the link in the trade thread.

2) Deviating from the trade asked for
When someone asks for a green for green on a certain site, or are offering £10 in return for a green on a site, this is what they require! It doesn't mean that people can respond to a green for cash site saying, don't want money but will take a green on.........
If that's what you require, you can set up you're own trade thread asking for this!

3) Multiple trading threads
Only ONE trading thread can be created at a time, that's asking for the same thing! Ie if you want greens for real incentives, you only need to open one thread, agree a trade with someone for this, give feedback, and thread closed! If you need more than one green on that site, you then open another trade thread!
The only way you need more than one trade thread open at one time is if they are all offering different things!

4) Asking people to pm you in response to a trade
When you post an advert for a trade, please do not ask people to pm you in response! pm's are only needed to exchange ref links! The trade itself needs to be agreed in the trading forum, otherwise it makes it really difficult to keep track of people being scammed etc!


Apologies if I seem a tad bossy, but it takes up time to have to go through every trade recently posted to see whether it's breaking guidelines, than pm that person to tell them why!
