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.

so this threads OP pretty clearly says only 2 threads per user active at a time. yet right now i see like 2-3 ppl on the front page alone that have 3 thread open and all bumped at the sametime. is this not enforced or do ppl just not care. its also pretty lame to see the same person open the same thread twice and just change the title ie:

★ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ [H] Speedrunners [W] 2*/3 Keys ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ★

★ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ [H] Insurgency [W] 3 Keys ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ★

then the content is the same wall of text repeated with only these 2 games as headers being the only differnce

I'm curious, is there an actual mod pulling strings behind the scenes here? Would it help to have any volunteers? Sometimes I feel like all these messages do as much good as prayers cast into the void, but correct me if I'm wrong.

He added me to trade me his copy of black ops 2 steam key for several games I had. Fortunately I only traded him a copy of serious sam 3 when I realized he changed his name and suddenly stopped responding to my messages. I have screen captured the entire conversation from start to finish including when he changed his profile pic and name.

weird. I didtn get comments in about 1 month but I was bumping it multiple times a day and it was active was selling quite a bit, shame about that rule, if thats what caused it, hope they revive it for me.

It only applies to comments not bumping, also it's not a rule it's just how the forum is programmed to work.
Keep in mind that if it wasn't like that the frontpage would be filled with autobumped threads from traders long gone/ not active on ST.
Also, it's not possible to revive a closed thread, been there myself and to save you some time this is the answer I got from support:

Hello random citizen,
Unfortunately, we can't re-open threads that were closed due to inactivity.
Sorry and take care!

Thanks for the explanation, I appreciate your effort. Nevertheless I think its an illogical and kind of ridiculous rule for Steamtrades to have. It is not a discussion forum to expect comments, its a sales/trade page, if people wanna trade they add you. In any case a "bump" is a sign of activity as well, not only comments, they should override this silly rule. And I was bumping it 5 times a day and selling daily.
Hope a moderator takes this into consideration.

Guys, sadly there are no active moderators on SteamTrades whatsoever, AFAIK nobody checks this thread.
If you wanna report someone/something, create a ticket here, that's the only sure way..

I appreciate it but they are not recruiting and I'm not sure why.

I had several fake reps and I reported them and it took them a whole month to fix it and to make matters worse they didn't punish ANY of them and indirectly blamed me for the whole thing, so I got tired of this and decided that I won't bother anymore.

In case you're curious, here's the response to my issue: http://i.imgur.com/adBtjus.png

I lose hope also my ticket is pending for 1 month now, I want to removed his neg rep to me. I even didnt accept his friend request as i was asleep and give me neg rep says i didnt give his game. Lol hilarious lie for a reason. Thats why scammers/people who trolled are still existing here lurking around because they didnt punish. If there is a proper strict rules here then people should be vigilant not to scam & to get banned HERE. Even they will not be banned on steamrep succesfully.

This guy Link is giving me positive rep but I never traded with him. Normally I wouldn't bother but after I added him on Steam to ask why he gave me the rep he blocked me. So it can be a mistake or I have an impersonator.

Always check if the profile of the one you are trading with is the same as on Steam

I think I might have second trade thread opened, but I don't remember where it was and for which items I opened it. And I don't have any replies in it so I can find it this way.

How do I check either I closed it already or I left it open, is there any kind of search button for my threads anywhere?

Report that guy to SR, reporting him here won't do you much good since he'll get a ban sometime in the future at best, but if you report him for this type of scam on SR you can be sure he'll be marked as a scammer for good.

The guy adds me on steam without any warning, pretends he had Super Meat Boy and wanted my Guacamelee: Gold Edition, he had 4 pages of +rep on his steam profile, checked steamrep and nothing showed up, so I went first, and he just threw me a invalid steam key. (not even a used one, just plain invalid). But once I returned to steamrep to report him, 1 pending report showed up, so he might have scammed a lot of people today...

EDIT: Be even more worried, crafttablept must be some steamrep mod/admin family member/friend, 5 threads with 30 games keys and money stolen and they have all been invalidated... -rep to steamrep itself for not being good enough to fill it's only damn purpose, trying to stop scammers. Never trusting this fucking site again.

Not to be a dick but you're seeing conspiracies everywhere, SR hasn't handled the most common types of scams for ages, the only scams they accept nowadays are for giftable copies all other tickets just get marked as invalid.
To be honest I don't even think SR is of any use anymore I have an open ticket for a steam items for paypal scam which they claim to still handle yet it has been open for over a year just like every other ticket I've ever submitted.
In case you're still interested in trading I'd advice you to install the "enhanced steam" addon for chrome/FF, it gives you the option to add links on someone's profile to their steamtrades/steamrep/steamgifts account so if you ever get an invite out of the blue again you can check with 1 click if the person adding you really is the person they claim to be (I'm guessing the guy that scammed you is an impersonator, that's the case with 90% of the scams here on ST)
