A must wait until 23.00 of the following day before upping again. Ups posted a few time before the end of 24h. are also irregular so there is not any excuse allowed. Replies like "delivered", "updated", etc are also considered as irregular "UP". Penalty: 100k fine and, at moderator's discretion, thread closure.

Clarification and rules for all threads:

2. You cannot modifiy grammar/syntax/numerical mistakes in the first post of your thread after a regular offer is done.
3. You can stablish the minimal bid, but it does not mean that is a compulsory value. For example, if the minimum value is 1k, you can still raise offers by 2k o more.
4. The thread author is obblied to specify the way he wants to be contacted by (ICQ/MSN/ecc), as soon as he opens the thread.
5. The STAFF has full decisional power in situations which aren't expected from these rules.
[ASTA] ([AUCTION]): in this type of thread there is an auction base (mandatory) and participants offer more and more in order to win the item, following the thread starter's rules (who cannot modify the rules after somebody makes a valid offer). Rules:
1. Users who take part in an auction MUST have the exact amount of money/items offered to the auctioneer. When you make an offer you MUST have the money/items on your account; if you would not have the money/items while doing a random check, you'll receive a pecuniary sanction of the same value of your offer. So be careful!
Example: A offers 10kk; B raises the offer to 11kk; A and B, if checked, must have that money on their account as soon as they make the offer. This is thought out in order to limit people who make offers for "friendship" just to raise an item price, without owning money enough to buy it. If you do not have the money, then don’t take part to the auction!!
2. You may NOT set up an auction to last longer than 7 days. The auction end is the time that must pass after the last valid offer to make it a winning offer. If an auction end is not specified, it will be considered 24hours as default. Penalty: thread closure.
3. You MUST post an auction base price. Penalty: thread closure.
4. You may NOT modify the auction rules after the first valid bid. Penalty: thread closure and pecuniary sanction.
5. You may NOT close your auction after someone has made a bid. Penalty: thread closure and pecuniary sanction.
6. You may NOT modify or cancel your offer if more than two hours have passed since you’ve made it. Penalty: pecuniary sanction or jail.
7. You may NOT trade an item outside the forum (ICQ/MSN/etc) if it’s under auctioning. The only exception you have is when no one has already made an offer: in that case you have to close the thread and then you can trade your item as you want. Penalty: thread closure and pecuniary sanction.
8. You MUST give/retrieve the won item within 72hours (but the auctioneer may decide to give you longer time than 72h). Penalty: pecuniary sanction or jail.
9. You may NOT re-open an auction after it has been closed, setting the base price as the last offer of the closed auction. Penalty: thread closure and, in case of reiterated violations, pecuniary sanction.
If a moderator closes your thread, you are free to make whatever you want with the auction item. If you reply in an invalid thread, you may suffer the consequences.
