See below for more details and exceptions to this rule.Rules specific for RUNESRevised policy 9-20-03: We have updated our policy for trading rules to allow for a system of currency on this forum. The new specific rules are as follows.
You can trade up to 20 high level runes (Ohm, Lo, Sur, Ber, Jah, Cham, and Zod) without specifying what runes you have up for trade. This means you can trade 20 zod runes with just saying “20 runes for trade.” Anything over 20 runes you need to list the specific runes up for offer.
You may not trade anymore then 40 high level runes in a single trade/offer. This means you could trade 40 zod runes, but not anymore.
These rules are subjected to change if more unrest continues due to the new rules. We feel that this compromise is a big one on our end since these runes are heavily duped. But we also understand that stripping away all forms of currency is harmful to this community, so we compromised. Do not make us regret this decision, and please do your part to make this community a better place to trade for legit items. Use self restraint in trading these duped high level runes please.
You can't trade .5 or half a rune. It is to inspecfic to what you want. Please spell it out.LADDER RUNES (rule changed 1/22/03) No longer a restriction on ladder runes.
Rules specific for 3/20/20These are an impossible charm to drop. the odds are of a small charm being a 3/20/20 is 1:4,957,674,012. For this reason they
are NOT allowed to be traded here in ANY quantity.
Rules specific for perfect Fine Prefix Small CharmsRevised policy 9-21-03: 3/20/5rw are not as rare as 3/20/20, but still duped. You can trade 1 3/20/5rw charm per trade. All other Fine prefix small charms have no restriction.

Or other popular perfect jewels.Rules specific to Poison Small CharmsRevised policy 9-21-03: We allow you to trade 1 290 poison damage small charm per trade, You CAN NOT trade 383 poison damage small charms, and any other odd poison number charm can be traded without restriction.

Specific wants and offersAll trades have to be specific. No "5 Runes" you have to specifically state the runes up for offer. no "Fine sm of Vita" you have to say exactly what it is 3/18/18 for example. Everything has to be as specific as you can. No using obscure words to try to get around the trade rules.
No using code words or slang to represent banned items.The use of the word CURRENCY, explained.On uswest the commonly traded "currency" is HEX charms, and on useast 3/20/20s. There for we are not allowing you to blindly ask for or trade "currency." You must specify what you want to trade or get.
The word, Tradeables, or any other slag for currency, is NOT ALLOWED.Rules about Forum Gold.Since it is now possible to trade your forum gold, we need to remind you all that scamming someone out of forum gold is far worse then items on battle.net. Here we are able to remove gold from you and ban your account. When your trading for forum gold transfer the gold FIRST then get the items after. Because if they don't give you the items the admins can take the gold away from the scammer and ban him.
Rules about "Bumping" Posts.If the post is not yours and it it is older then 3 days, you are not allowed to bump it. If it is your post, your welcome to bump it if the trade wasn't completed, you can bump your old thread instead of creating a new one.
Added as of 1/22/03: These are not strictly enforced rules, but we do ask you to follow them to help make the forum better.
* Please ONLY bump threads (yours OR others) intentionally after 6 hours.
* Please ONLY have 2 threads on the main page at one time, this is to let people see more
Rules about SOJ trading.Changed on 1/22/03: No restriction to the number or quanity of sojs for trading now. Just remember no trading physical accounts.Rules about Annihilus Charm and Gheed's Grand Charm.Because you can't place it in the trade window, it is to risky to trade this charm.
