- | ===== Language in Trades ===== | ||

- | |||
- | Before trading is conducted, make sure both parties agree to the terms of trading. It is in the best interests of both sides to keep all relevant information (PM's, Steam messages or screenshots) which state the agreed upon terms until the trade is concluded. If one party removes an item from an already accepted trade, the other side will have to accept again. Once the trade has been completed and the forum post has been locked, the terms of the agreement are concluded. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Want to Know ==== | ||
- | //WTK - The process of asking others what they would offer if this item were for sale.// | ||
- | |||
- | Use this sparingly since frequent WTK threads will get you labeled as a spammer. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Want to Loan ==== | ||
- | //WTL - The process of a lender giving a borrower loaned item(s) with the agreement that the items will be returned after a given duration.// | ||

- | Loaning is at your own risk. Make sure you trust the person before lending anything. This includes the risk that the borrower will be banned and the item(s) will not be returned. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Donating ==== | ||
- | //Donating is a process of giving items to another player with no expectation of anything in return.// | ||
- | |||
- | As with loaning, it is recommended that the person receiving the gift keep records that it was in fact a gift and not a loan. |
