TRADE/SCAM FORM

REPUTATION SHEET

Approved trading

See this sheet for each trader's reputation for good trades and scams.

The trader with lower rep sends first.
Fill out this form after a trade or to report a scam, to make the rep system as accurate as possible.

Rules

1. Make your trading clear.

In your post, state the format, topic, and what prep you have. Flair your post with your style of debate!
When both parties aren't clear about what's being traded, someone might get scammed or not get the prep they wanted.
Don't forget to mention what communication you want - Reddit PMs, email, etc.

2. Don't scam.

Agree on exactly what will be sent by both sides before trading, and send it.
Already having the prep they send, not liking the quality/originality of the prep, are not justifications for not sending back.
Send screenshots of the prep before trading to minimize confusion!

3. Don't send recordings without consent.

If we are contacted by someone saying they didn't consent to be recorded, or that recording shouldn't be distributed, we'll delete your post.
Use your discretion.

4. Don't make mass emails.

They're annoying and can just be accomplished by a post.
