What to do ?

Post by KallenTu »

This person sent me a message asking for me to buy their pets and advertising their pets that are for sale .
Is this against the rules ? Should I report it ? Tell him to not do it ? :wat:

EDIT ;; Also has a form of harrassing .
It might not be a big deal , but I just want to know what to do .

You you could just ignore it if you never posted in that persons buy/sell thread or you could PM a mod I'm sure they can help you out. I know I would feel a bit like he/she is harrassing me if they just PM you and beg you to buy their cretures.

Report it. Just forward the message to a mod and they will handle it. I'm pretty sure that's against the rules.

Ignore the sales, but PM the person back saying that you don't appreciate them forcing their random sales on you. If they persist, then I would report.

I personally like giving people a second chance, reminding them about the rules (or in most cases, pointing out that such a rule exists).

If you look at the rules of conduct:
No harassment in PM
  • It is forbidden to PM users asking them to sell creatures or to give away gold or creatures for free. Unless a creature is specifically listed as for sale in the user's signature or profile, PMing someone asking for it is not allowed. This also applies to borrowing creatures.
I believe that the rule would would apply in this situation even though they were asking you to buy their creatures, rather than asking to buy creatures from you.

I certainly would report it.

Tell them that if they want to sell, they have to make a shop, sig sale, or state it on their profile. Also, remind them of the rules. If they keep doing it, I'd say it's up to morgaln.

Pegasi is correct, that rule would also apply to this case.

That sentiment unfortunately leads to several dozen people reminding that person about the rules and give them a second chance (or more like several dozen second chances)
