Aren't you all fed up with sights like this becoming more and more common? So am I. Therefore, this is a warning. Do not open or leave open more than two trading threads at once, especially for the same thing. Do not "invisibly" bump your thread every two minutes. I have begun suspending and I am not giving you just a light slap on the wrist for this amount of spam. Now, I'm more of an SG mod, I'm not good with STrades, so, please, feel free to point me towards anyone who needs it, preferably with evidence. Might as well use this thread for it. This is going to stop.

Update: This problem should never have been allowed to get to this point (and I likely would have been okay with it if the bumps were at least staggered rather than bumping six threads at once), so I'm probably going to seem overly harsh to some of you, cracking down on everything severely. Now that this is stickied, I'll give everyone a grace period of twenty-four hours (until 7:30 PM UTC, 7th) to reorganise their threads and close down any duplicates. After that, I will begin to suspend without warning.

Edit: Time's up. Suspensions begin now.

Update 2: After a talk with Yatterman, two trading threads is now acceptable, as long as they are not identical.

Update 3: Just found a nifty bug(?) on the site that'll let me close the offending threads without officially having any powers on Strades. Feel free to link the threads in future and I'll close them too.

Update 4: As some may already know, my activity will drop massively as of right now. I'll still be dealing with SteamTrades stuff whenever I can, but expect me to be a little slow on it.

This isn't specifically for trade spamming like most of the posts here, but I couldn't see any way to report this guy, and after reading the negative feedback thread I'm not sure that just leaving negative feedback was the best idea either, so please let me know if there's somewhere better to send this.

User: kamengtaiv
Reason: Spamming negative comments and negative feedback
URL: http://www.steamtrades.com/trade/5Rvl8/h-chivalry-w-1-key
Notes: This guy added me to trade from the thread, I refused after he kept telling me to trust him instead of him giving me items. He then got very rude and childish and I removed him.
After that he decided to comment on my thread and leave negative comments and more childish rhetoric. I eventually left negative feedback in an attempt to get him to leave, but he's still trying to start an argument and apparently trying to push me further.

If there's a better way to handle this please let me know, I'd rather not have negative feedback for the sake of refusing to trade with someone.

Cheers

You had a lot more rep than him and he already had a negative, yet you still decided to go first? :/

I will never be able to understand such actions, but I am sorry for what happened to you and I hope that you've learned your lesson and that the scammer gets banned.

Thank you,I never really liked the rep thing,when I was low rep it was hard to trade...now I understand and I learned my lesson,about the negative rep he have I was thinking that the key he traded was from a videocard and has to be redeemed on nVidia to get a Steam code...

Are you suspending people who intimidate, abuse and bully people into trading and when the trader does not wish to trade they post traders a negative , because there's nothing you want or are unhappy with the behavior of the trader? If so can you suspend or ban Light3r and remove the negative he gave me!

I have a question: Can/Should I give negative rep if I got one copy of a game when I, in fact, was offered two (but the price I payed was the equivalent of a single copy) ?

Let me explain. I made a trade that turned out to be "sort of a scam". In this thread, he asked 1 tf2 key for a double pack. I immediately thought it was too cheap but decided to see what he had to say, in regards to what I asked him.
In the trade window, I could see the gift had "2-Pack Gift" in it's description. Upon seeing that, I thought that it appeared that he had, in fact, the 2-Pack that I wanted (I didn't realize that the GIFT part meant that it was the additional copy, from an opened 2-Pack).
We traded and, obviously, only got one copy (no second copy on my inventory).
Only after that happened, I started to think that he probably gave me the "spare copy", but I decided to say that I was going to talk with Steam support, to see his reaction. He, obviously, did nothing besides "oh ok".

The thing is, we continued to talk and he does not say where he got the copy from (which just means that he is lying and does not want to say that he actually gave me the secondary copy).

TL;DR: He "scammed" me because he was supposed to give me a full 2-pack, but ended up only giving my the additional copy (the item had "2-pack gift" on the description and I didn't think "2-Pack GIFT" = second copy).

Yes. The other trader did not fulfill his/her end of the deal. Report the user on Steam via profile for attempted trade scam, the SteamGifts/Trades/GameDeals network, and SteamRep with supporting evidence.
