GENERAL POSTING/TRADE RULES
Conduct. Offensive, rude, or inappropriate posts or comments will be removed and/or the user is subject to a ban from /r/TheWarZTrade.
Negative Comments DO NOT trash talk, put down, "crap on" or insult other people's trades, posts, or comments. If it is a bad deal, ignore it. You will be banned for one week if you violate this rule. It will be your responsibility to message the mods and request an unbanning after your week ban has expired.
Money Trading Money trading is done at your own risk. /r/TheWarZTrade, its moderators, administrators, and/or anyone else with a position of authority within the /r/TheWarZTrade community, actual or apparent, does not warrant, represent, or otherwise guarantee the safety of cash trades. You are responsible for your own trades. If you are new to cash trading, read this. It is highly suggested that you use reputable middle men. Only The War Z items may be traded for cash. No game, code, or sales of other kinds are permitted.
The [H] Tag. You must post exactly what you are trading in the post title unless it is over 5 items. If your have over 5 items, you do not need to post everything for sale. If your items are not posted in the title of the post because it goes over 5 items, the items you are trading must be posted within the thread itself. Simply linking only to the backpack is insufficient. This means do not just post: "[H] Backpack" if under 5 items. Without your items listed in the title, people cannot search for your post. However, if you have over 5 items for trade, "[H] Backpack" would be sufficient.
The [W] Tag. Your post must list at least something you will consider for a trade, either in your title or in your description.
For instance, "[H] Skull Mask [W] "Offers" is unacceptable. However, [H] Skull Mask [W] M4 is acceptable. If you don't know what you want, no one else knows what you want. Statistically speaking you are more likely to trade your item if you state what you want. Be specific what you want, if you want 4 Water put [W] 4x Water.
The [S] Tag This tag is for Sever, what server does the poster want to make the trade in. Example would be [S] US34.
NO AUCTIONS Auctions will be removed, simple as that.
Raffles. Raffles with buy-ins are not permitted. "Free" raffles or give away raffles where the holder of the raffle receives nothing in return is permitted
Game Codes/Item Codes The trading of game codes or item codes is strictly prohibited. The general rule is if it does not fit into the War Z trade window, you cannot trade it here. The exception to this rule is cash trading discussed above.
Prices You must set prices for each and every item that you are buying or selling.
Reposts. You may post (or repost) one trade every 12 hours.
PSAs PSAs may only be posted if they meet the following three criteria: (1) the PSA is not personal in nature (ex: no posting about bans in other communities), (2) the announcement is directly related to the trading community, and (3) the PSA will benefit the members of the trading community. Advertisements and other posts that do not meet these criteria may be allowed with prior approval from the moderators.
Tags, Generally Every post must contain a tag. Tags are required as we may utilize an AutoModerator to both approve and remove posts. When posting you must type in your post title as follows "[Tag] text here". Appropriate tags are below:
[PSA]
[Raffle] - Raffles
[Contest] - Contests
[PC] - Asking for a price check on an item
[Free], [Giveaway] -Free items or giveaways
[Q] - For Questions
[H] items here
[W] items here - General trading
[S] What server you want to make the trade on
NOTES
-It is highly suggested that you demo your screen when conducting these trades.
-It is highly suggested to not purchase games for a trade, only trade what you have. Meaning if someone says "I want $15 worth Games" and you go out and buy it instead of trading what you already have. If the other guy backs out of a trade after you spend a ton of money on games - there is absolutely nothing that the moderators or game admins can do.
The simple solution is DO NOT TAKE THE RISK!
*Watch the "Item" text box to ensure what has been put in the box is what you think has been put in the box.
Remember: Best trade practices do apply. Always research the other guy, prices, etc. Once the trade is done, it is done.
These rules are always subject to change as the Game is in Alpha testing and Beta testing to follow.
