Trade Center Rules and Guidelines

[val]

Hi guys! As someone who loves to trade, I want to make this forum a safe and reliable place for people in need and with things to give away. To do so, some rules need to be put in place:

• Please review the example threads for requesting and offering trades. There is of course no limit to the information you may list in your thread. To garner more attention, especially if this forum ever experiences a sharp increase in traffic, you might want to consider listing statistics like a Pokemon's IVs and EVs.
  
  
• All threads must have a proper label! Please specify whether you want or are offering something in your thread title, and place it in the correct station.
  
  
• Shops are A-OK! If you have or can get many things to offer, such as items or specifically-bred Pokemon, you may want to consider opening a shop rather than making a basic offering thread.
  
  
• You are allowed to provide and request services. EV training, breeding, leveling up, etc.
  
  
• If you are trading hacked Pokemon, you must let your trade partner(s) know in advance. Should it so happen that you tried to masquerade a hacked Pokemon as legit, you will receive a warning. If you don't know if your Pokemon is hacked, I advise having another person or two check it out for you first. This is an entirely possible thing to do for everyone, so "I didn't know it was hacked!" is not an excuse!
  
  
• Likewise, you must hold up your end of the bargain! It's okay if things turn out to where you cannot fulfill your offer, but absolutely do not attempt to rip off your trade partner(s)! Should something like this come to my attention, you will be suspended from using the Trade Center for a determined amount of time.
  
  
• If you ever want to close your thread, just let me know. Also report any trading issues to me immediately so I may deal with the situation ASAP.
  

Thanks for reading. Happy trading!
