Since I've noticed a growing number of members involving themselves in such unpleasing activities, I figured it best to get the rules of the Trading section updated and out in the open.

1. No scamming.

If you are offering a Legit , then please make sure you know that said pokemon is indeed Legit. Multiple complaints from members concerning this will lead to your removal from the guild. If you use an AR/GS/Other hacking device, please let any members trading with you know that you are giving them pokemon created/obtained via such means. Failure to do so is considered scamming as well.


2. Selling of Pokemon for Gaia Gold or Items is NOT ALLOWED!

Are you allowed to sell Pokemon for Gaia Gold? Short answer, no. Long answer, no because it goes against Gaia Online's TOS (Terms of Service) concerning ownership rights and goes very close along the lines to "Offsite Trading", both of which are actually bannable offenses. Anyone caught involving themselves in such activities will only be warned once. If you proceed to act on such activities, you will be banned from the guild and possibly reported to a Gaia Online Site Moderator.


3. "PM me for trades" type threads are not allowed.

Such threads take away from the Guild's Trading section as a whole and those wishing to trade in that format should use the Traders and Breeders' Market as that was specifically created for that purpose. Allowing people the option to PM you in trading threads is fine, but should not be the only means of communication between you and any possible trading partners. From now on, any such threads found not in accordance with this will be locked and/or deleted.


4. Only Breeding shops and Trading threads are allowed.

I really wish this could go without having to be said, but this subforum is for trading ONLY. All battle threads, exchange friend code threads, bump for gold threads and etc will be removed.
