Marketplace Rules changed
We changed a bit the rules.
You can find them in every sub-forum and in the root MarketPlace forum...
The most important change is the Blacklist...
It's a list of users not reliable in the marketplace forum.
The permanence in BlackList lasts 4 months and it will be divided in 2 parts.
During the first 2 months the user who made the violation will be inserted in the first part with it's account name, nick and the link to the violation... Somewhat like this:
After two months he will be transferred in the second part where the violation will be linked to his nick.
e.g.
User A, User B, User C
and so on...
If during this 4 months period, that user will not violate other forum rules that has "Blacklist insertion" as punishment, he will be deleted even from the second part...
Else he will be inserted in the first part with the links at all his violations.
RULES
Marketplace Forum is reserved to commerce regarding only UO objects. Every thread regarding real life objects or non-UO items will be closed. It's strictly prohibited to use real life money (e.g. Euro, $ and every other value).
What is forbidden in all threads:
1. To use tags other than: [AUCTION] ([ASTA]), [SALE] ([VENDO]), [BUY] ([COMPRO]), [ADVERTISING] ([PUBBLICITÀ]), [TRADE] ([SCAMBIO]) in the title. Minuscule characters, different brackets or other styles are not allowed. Punishment: Thread closing and, in case of repeated violation: Spammer Mark.
2. Not to specify properly the thread subject in the thread's title (e.g. "selling", "nice stuff" aren't valid titles, "leggings lrc lmc" is ok). Punishment: thread closing and, if the violation is repeated, Spammer Mark.
3. To "up" a thread more than once per day (24 hours); time is calculated from the last post (by anybody). Punishment: post edit and, in case of repeated violation, Spammer Mark. If the violation is made by the thread starter, the thread will be closed.
4. To post anything irrelevant to the thread purpose and to judge prices and/or choices of thread starter. Punishment: post edit and, at moderator’s discretion, Spammer Mark.
5. To spam asking continuously for contacts when the thread is exhausted (e.g. auction with a winner). Punishment: post edit plus, at moderator's discretion, Spammer mark.
The marketplace forum's work is based on 5 possible thread types. Here are the properties of each one of them:
[ASTA] (or [AUCTION]): In this thread, there is a starting price and participants contend against each other for the item (or items) offering more and more, following rules established by the auctioneer before the first valid offer.
In an auction it is not allowed:
1. To arrange auctions that last more than 7 days. Punishment: the thread will be closed.
2. Not to specify a base bid. Punishment: the thread will be closed.
3. To edit the auction rules once the it has been started. Punishment: BlackList insertion and the thread will be closed.
4. Withdraw an item from the auction once the auction has begun with a bid. Punishment: BlackList insertion, the thread will be closed and, at moderator’s discretion, Spammer Mark.
5. To cancel your bid (offer) for an item if 2 hours have already passed since the own first offer. Punishment: BlackList insertion and at moderator’s discretion and if the violation is repeated, Spammer Mark.
6. To make any agreement outside Forum once the auction has begun (e.g. ICQ, msn, in game, etc…). Punishment: BlackList insertion, the thread will be closed and, at moderator’s discretion, Spammer Mark.
7. Not to deliver/claim the item that has already been sold/purchased, for ANY reason. The DEADLINE for the delivering/claiming, unless there're separate private agreements, is 48 hours after the stuff awarding. Punishment: Spammer Mark and BlackList insertion.
8. Not to use the “item + offer” form when the thread contains more than one auction. Punishment: post edit and offer not valid.
9. To open auctions that continue from closed threads. Punishment: the thread will be closed and, in case of repeated violation, Spammer Mark.
NOTE: For all violations that lead to the auction's shut down, the destiny of the offers is given to the seller who can than consider to count bids valid or not. It’s a buyer's responsibility not to make offers in potentially dangerous threads (e.g. thread with irregular tags, thousands of ups and so on). Any complaint of a buyer concerning these cases will be ignored.
[VENDITA] (or [SALE]): in this thread a person can sell an object at a fixed price.
In a sale it's forbidden:
1. Not to specify a selling price or to write to make an agreement outside Forum for it (ICQ, msn, in-game and so on). Punishment: the thread will be closed.
2. To cancel your bid (offer) for an item if 2 hours have already passed since the own first offer. Punishment: BlackList insertion and at moderator’s discretion and if the violation is repeated, Spammer Mark.
3. Not to deliver/claim the stuff that has already been sold/purchased, for ANY reason. The DEADLINE for the delivering/claiming, unless there're separate private agreements, is 48 hours after the stuff awarding. Punishment: Spammer Mark and BlackList insertion.
[COMPRO] (or [BUY]): in this thread an user can search for an object, specifying the payment availability and requirements.
In a [BUY] thread it’s not allowed:
1. Not to specify a buying price or to write to make an agreement outside Forum for it (ICQ, msn, in-game and so on). Punishment: the thread will be closed.
[PUBBLICITÀ] (or [ADVERTISING]): in this thread a user can report the presence of an in-game vendor or the availability to make a service on demand (e.g. "Leather gathering").
[SCAMBIO] (or [TRADE]): in this thread a user offers a trade, specifying exactly what he/she offers and what he/she looks for.
In a [TRADE] thread is not allowed:
1. Not to specify what you are searching for and what you are offering or to write to make an agreement outside Forum to decide it (ICQ, msn, in-game and so on). Punishment: the thread will be closed.
No further kinds of threads are allowed in the market forum.
NOTE: BlackList [BL] is a list of “potential” not reliable users on MarketPlace Forum.
Violating points 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of “auctions rules” and points 2, 3 of “selling rules” will cause blacklist insertion.
For any question, doubt, improvement or error post here, please
Thanks
