Maybe we need some strict rules for player auctions as i've seen a few problems with these in the last weeks.

- items being part of the auction must NOT be revoked from the auction in any case
- the deadline must NOT be extended in any case
- a deadline / a countdown (xx:yy:zz remaining) must be part of the deadline
- the highest offer has to be mentioned in the OP asap
- PM bids must NOT be taken as offers. Only posts should count
- bids must NOT be changed during the auction. No editing!

Regarding loaning:
- maybe these trading rules should show a recommended way of loaning. This could be:
  > after disussing the terms of the loaning (item, payment, period, fee in case of not-returning in time)
  > this should be mentioned in e.g. steam chat in a way of a contract. Both have to show their agreement with these terms. All of this should be recorded on a reliable screenshot. (Max res, time/date, chat showing players' names)

Just a few ideas from my sick mind, sorry for typos (i wrote that using my phone)

Please, tell me what you think about this.

Player auction rules will not be added in the rules of trading. Players can conduct the auction in any manner they wish, however the forum topic will count towards part of the agreed upon terms for a regular trade. If a player chooses to run a 'poor' auction, then it is up to the players whether they wish to participate.

In regards to guidelines of loaning, there was a set, but they were removed due to the developers stance on loans. You conduct any loan at your own risk, seeing as though it is your own risk, it is on you to conduct it how you want, no suggested guidelines will be posted.

The placed guidelines and definitions in these set of rules are there only as a guide to how to conduct trades and what type of developer action would be taken if the trade goes badly.

Change log:
Rewrote portions of the rules to clarify them.
Added a rule prohibiting WTS threads for items which you do not actually own.
