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.

Guys you mad? You are suspending people who were AWAY for last few weeks just because they didn't close their threads before they left? WTF?

So if I left my 3 old threads open for next 2 weeks and just left right before the rule was added, I would join the group of suspended people?

It's extremely unfair!

1 decade ago

They still contributed to the problem (you know, the problem of bumping so many threads at once it unfairly pushes everyone else off the front page), especially the duplicate threads. I don't really care if this guy hasn't been online in month or if they were online as I saw that. They're getting suspended.

1 decade ago

I would argue, but you're a moderator and I don't want to get suspended for not abiding your will.

Joking. =D

I know you love me so you wouldn't harm my account!

yeah i think thats the point, you shouldnt have had 3 threads in the first place :) I notice you also have some fake rep on your profile from R3av3r ;)

What fake rep? Wtf?

I traded him Smite beta key for free, the only thing I wanted in exchange was 1 rep. Is that fake for you? Well go go go gimme negative just like LajkABaws. He doesn't even trade on this forums, I feel like he came to steamtrades.com just to give me a neg rep... for nothing.

1 decade ago

I wont give you negative rep i am saying reaver was suspended for giving out fake rep and your profile was used as an example of this on the fake rep thread, looks suspicious to me but whatever i wont give you negative rep.

1 decade ago

OK :P

1 decade ago

Suspended LajkABaws. Please remove your neg rep on his page.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Thank you. Can you also remove that neg rep? If you can just remove BOTH Reav3r and LajkABaws rep so it balances out. I don't care.

Also I just noticed one guy gave me a positive rep for nothing. xD Is that fake too? I DIDN'T!!! ask him to do that. I swear.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Its cool :D Just Reaver was well known for it :)

Rep though is to be used to judge if a traders trustworthy, giving keys out free for rep distorts that system so really is looked down upon because you havent done the hard work to earn your rep.

1 decade ago
Permalink

I got that Smite beta key on my email. How do you think I would get to know it's publicly available for anyone who wants to try Smite for free? And hell people sell DOTA 2 keys but I can't basically give away Smite beta key for free? xD

1 decade ago
Permalink

Sorry i dont get what your point is ? I thought you did give it out for free, but asked for rep ? Like i said rep is to be earned and to show how trustworthy a trader is. If someone just gives out keys for rep you still wouldnt know how trustworthy they were ? With DOTA2 CS:GO people are selling them or trading them so you get an accurate rep of how trustworthy they are to trade with.

1 decade ago

Whatever man <rolleyes> I am just saying I don't see how my rep would be fake in any case if it wasn't Reav3R who gave it to me. :)

<rollseyes> back

Giving a key out for free for rep IS fake rep. Rep is for a trade with VALUE.

Im done though i dont think i could explain it any more simply. Good luck with your trades.

is there way where you would read sooner comments?

1 decade ago

Two things wrong about all this "two threads per user":

1 You cant find anything in this trading site. Becouse all threads consist bunch of games, so you have to watch every thread to find game you want and price you want.

2 You cant close all threads you have becouse you cant check what thread youve opened on your profile or anywhere else.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Two threads per user, not one.

1 decade ago
Permalink

If you want a game why would you not have a thread saying (W) whatever game ? Then people come to you, easy ;)

Also old threads dont matter as long as they are not being bumped just close them if you see them going to the front page :)

WAIT wtf

2 threads allowed. they are not the same. one is about [W] borderlands 2 and second is with other stuff...

You should unban her... What did she even do?

both threads are offering the same games read them if she wants different things then put that in the same thread its not rocket science something like (W) Borderlands 2/Offers, easy :D

1 decade ago
Permalink

lol then maybe first warn then ban, not the other way around...

Unban her, why would you fuckin ban her for having 2 threads...

1 decade ago
Permalink

Omg because they are a duplicate both offering same games which is against the rules. I thought the OP made it pretty clear it was no tolerance and bans would be handed out ;) If she would have split the games into 2 posts though not duplicating them she would have been fine so maybe Jade will reinstate her and she can change the threads so they dont have the same games.

1 decade ago
Permalink

Again, warn first ban second, not the other way around...

1 decade ago
Permalink

I think you need to read the OP again ;)

1 decade ago
Permalink

I think you need to count number of letters in each title... she would have a hard time putting everything in one line inside 100 letters limit...

She wanted to have 2 threads just because in one thread she wanted offers and in others specifically Borderlands 2.

Check this out, the thread with Borderlands 2 has exactly 100 letters. Just inside the limit. The other one has 73 letters, she wanted to make it more visible so she split into two threads.

Please, unban.

1 decade ago
Permalink

I know what she wanted, but the plain fact is she cant. So maybe highlight a couple of games like "Left 4 Dead 2, Red Faction & more" or "lots of games" i mean come on its common sense. Like i said if she split them up into 2 posts different games in each she would be ok. So maybe Jade can unban her and she can change the posts to 2 different ones :)

1 decade ago

I hope so.

One thread title: [H] Deus Ex Coll, Red Faction Coll, L4D2 ... more [W] Offers ...

Second title: [H] Deus Ex Coll, Red Faction Coll, L4D2, BulletStorm... more [W] Borderlands 2 PreOrder ROW

I've highlighted the only differences. Thread two has no new content and, in fact, has less content. Thread two was the latest one posted. This means duplicate thread.

Hey man... i'm his brother. I'm not stevensi1018. i'm just trying to help him since he was banned for 3 days because he write: bump on his post. He don,t have 2 accounts --'. I'm a different person, so, it will be idiot to have 2 accoutns that have 100$ worth of game just to access this site... And man, don,t understand why you are trying to ban him. He's just trying to trade stull...

1 decade ago

Im not trying to get anyone banned people are getting themselves banned by not following simple rules ;) If it is your brother then tell him trading games is ok but you also have to follow the rules and etiquette of the site. Whats the point of a ban if then a different account is then used to access the site and trade ? Funny how the only rep you have is from the last 6 days also you say your account is worth $100 but lets face it its indie bundles and keys that were exploited and created a month ago ;) Even if you are his brother you shouldnt be allowing your account to be used by someone thats suspended anyway.

  • "Thanks for rep, and warning of scammers" (?)

Please, just open a ticket, explain the situation in detail and close it again. I've been suspending a few people because of their SR status, so if I see an explanation in your tickets, I won't ban.
