Some guidelines to make things easier for Hentaiverse shoppers.
Note:
Just to make it absolutely clear, these aren't "rules", and they're not compulsory. You won't be banned for disregarding them, but it could make you quite unpopular with the rest of the community. It's your choice. Also, the moderators reserve the right to delete or modify any posts or threads whose contents appear to be serving no useful purpose. Not following these guidelines can at a moderator's discretion be penalized if overdone. Please do not use the report system for these infractions, unless they appear to be very severe.
Feel free to contact (preferably in this order)

Tenboro (Admin) if you think there's something unjustified in this guideline.
1. General guidelines- Everyone is allowed to start their own WTS/WTB threads, even if there's only one or two things to sell/purchase.
- Constant bumping of topics is not allowed. A "bump" is defined as just posting a message with the word "bump" or with the sole intention of moving a topic to the top of the forum while not contributing anything to it. As a guideline, not as a rule: Limit bumps to at most once a day. Topics bumped too much may be closed or deleted at a moderator's discretion. (Excessive use of 'restocking' or 'adding equips' or 'thanks' will also also be considered as bumping.)
- September 2018 annotation: we're in a worldwide site, so "day" has to be read in that perspective. Timezones and such may make a user like posting multiple times per day even if that's not the case.
- If you want your thread to be deleted, just change the title to 'DELETE' and remove the topic description. Use the 'report' button only for pruning unwanted posts such as update bumps, old auction bids and spam from confused buyers.
- You should have at most 1 WTS shop thread, 1 WTS auction thread, and 1 WTB thread active at any moment.
- Mystery items are not allowed, except as gift.
2. Label your Shop/ItemsYou're encouraged to use the following labels
- [Shop], [Auction], [Free] or [Service] in your WTS thread's title. It's recommended to label which type of items you're selling either in the topic title or in the description. ([equips], [Consumables], [Crystals], [Crystal Packs])
- [WTT] or [WTB] in your WTB thread's title.
- [Closed] if you want to close the thread but don't want the thread to be deleted. (You don't need [open] label)
- [Delete] or [Del] if you want your thread to be deleted
- Item codes in your thread. Buyers are encouraged to use item codes instead of the full equipment name. It helps everyone in searching through the WTS.
You're recommended to remove the equipment's link after the transaction is finished, though it's not compulsory to do so. If you want to keep the link for whatever the reason is, please use strikethrough to make it clear that they're no longer available.
3. Auction RulesThe following descriptions should be present in the auction rules
- Auction finish time. Recommended to provide both the finish time and the Auction Countdown Timer.
- Item codes.
- How bids can be placed. (Also if proxy bids are available)
- Starting bid and increment bid.
- Paying method (Credits, Haths, items, service) (You may also add the maximum payment period)
- Bid withdrawal/edits (Please be noted that there's no way to force a bid through potential buyers.)
- Extension Time/Method.
- Contact method
Example code
CODE
[list]
[*] When making bids please use the full item code. For example, Item [OH-01] - 5000 C. This makes it easier for me to update and find relevant bids and makes it less likely I'll miss your bid somehow.
[*] Bids must be posted here. (If you have a problem with this or cannot be present at the end time, PM me. Preferably at least 24 hours in advance or as early as possible.)
[*]All items have a starting bid of 1k.
[*]Bids must be in increments of:
- 1,000 C when current bid is under 50,000 C
- 5,000 C when current bid is at least 50,000 C but under 100,000 C
- +10% when current bid is at least 100,000 C
[*] Bids must be in credits only, however I will accept both Hath, valued at 14500 C, as payment. Again, please make your bids in credits only. Payments should be made 24 hours after the auction has ended.
[*] Bids cannot be withdrawn or edited without my consent. Please avoid editing your posts. If you need to make a correction, make it in a new post.
[*] Any bid made within the last 15 minutes of an auction extends the auction close time for that item by 15 minutes and any bids thereafter will extend the end time by 15 minutes, until all but the highest bidder have conceded, or until I feel a sufficient amount of time has passed with no bids (undisclosed, so be prompt.)
[*] If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
[/list]
4. Thread deletionsIf you wish for your thread to be deleted, simply
change its title do [Delete] and it will be pruned as soon as possible.
5. Potential Blacklisting/BansPlayers may be blacklisted/banned if they
- Collaborate with other players to make artificial bids in an auction.
- Don't promptly finish a deal within the agreed period.
Finally, if you have any ideas to enhance the guideline, don't hesitate to post your comments. Thank you for reading.This post has been edited by Noni: May 5 2022, 04:44
