Pet Trade Rules

originally from dolphii's pet forum topic:
http://www.marapets.com/topics.php?id=2869155&fid=39


RULES:

"***NEW*** No A/R/B topics because of all the blatant lying going on.
No whirlpooling or portalling other people's pets.
No training other peoples' pets. This includes school, university, jobs, temples, gym, and elite gym.
No trying to trade your sister's, best friend's, cousins, dogs, etc pets.
No godparents for your pets.
No Mara-wills for pets.
No making a costume that is not ALREADY on the pet part of the pet trade.
No made-to-order pets.
No name-it-yourself pets.
ie, I cannot offer to make a pet with an LE potion to trade you. I cannot offer you to choose the name of that pet for me to potion. All pets must be ready for trade prior to trading.
Example: I have a bunch non-LE pets... I offer to make you a Chibs with one of my non-LE pets or you'd pick an entirely new name and I'd create that pet and potion it for you.
This is against the rules.
[edit] You are not allowed to offer MP for pet exchange fees or trading fees as it is seen as trading MP for the pet itself.

Rules about posting:

NO DOUBLE POSTING. I WILL DELETE YOUR WHOLE TOPIC.
No false-reporting posts, especially on giveaways and pet competitions. If you falsely report a post because you want a better chance of winning, I will happily forum ban you.
No "reserved for app" posts. Write your app and *then* post. I will delete these.
No being rude to new members that don't understand the principles of trading or the values of pets. If you can't be polite, please keep your trap shut.
No having multiple topics up at the same time about the same thing. Example: "Trading Ercuw" and "No offers yet??? Trading Ercuw!" I'll delete your newer one and boost your first one if I'm in a good mood.
No whining about quitting. If you want to quit, quit, don't go on about it at length in the Pets forum.


Giveaways:

No guess the number, guess my rl pet's name, guess my name giveaways.
No "giving if...." topics.
No "giving..." "a cookie!" topics.

What admins will do/not do about pets:

No begging admins to get a pet off a banned account. No, not even if it's your cat that died when you were 12.
No begging admins to get a pet you traded or gave away to an account that is now banned.
No begging admins to get a pet off your own old banned account.
Yes (a yes! it's okay to send in a Support Ticket to get an inappropriate pet name renamed.

Extra rules:

Just no.

Penalties:

Topics will be deleted at my/our discretion.

Forum ban and mail:
Falsely report a competing post on a giveaway, trading, or competition topic.
Offer MP/item for a pet.
Offer to train, stat, whirlpool, etc etc other people's pets.
