This is my first negative review on a trader, just want to warn people about this person and tell them how bad my personal experience concerning attempt of trading with this person is.
I used the fast search option and came across a few people who accept PayPal for the game I was interested in, I just copy paste the same message to all traders who have no price list and accept PayPal, hoping to get a fast responds (like I am sure a lot of people do who are familiar with steamgifts, nothing personal, it is just business). And then I bump into this trader. After seeing how he/she address people who don't comply to his/her demands, he/she just decides to insult people. Comes across as a bit of a control-freak and narcissistic.
The requirements to respond
Insults another trader
Insulting me
Just poisonous to the community.
Will remove my negative review, if this person decides to apologies for being rude, but not really counting on it.
edit will not remove my negative review considering this person even insulted me more in reply to my review. I just find it unnecessary to insult somebody just to get a point across and wish to not be treated like this by somebody who knows nothing about me and is full of judgement and wrong conclusions based on one "wrongly" placed question. I have traded with a lot of people (over 588 positive rep) and never have been treated this way or insulted in this matter. I also think steamtrades should not be used to flame and belittle others. In the end it does not matter who is wrong or right (because everybody has his/her own perception of the truth), but how you treat others in the process. Even if you think you are right, it does not give a person the rights to insult, be rude and name-call.
If it really bothers this person so much that people ask for a price, then please write it in your title, like the rules suggest: Include a summary of what you want [W] and have [H] in your trade title to help with readability.
Thanks for reading.
You hate in others what you hate about yourself, take a look in the mirror sometimes.
Shannara55 doesn't read what people actually want, and just posts their spam without caring.
Shannara55 got called on their ignorant selfish bullshit, and now thinks that it's ok to post a negative review in retaliation, as a way to extort an apology for not accepting their shitty, self-absorbed behaviour.
Of course Shannara55 doesn't care about the rules of the forum, because Shannara55 doesn't give two shits about anyone but themselves. But sure, this is all about me being "poisonous to the community". My 51 positive trades certainly bear out Shannara55's experience....
A reminder to people who aren't as self-absorbed as Shannara55:
[Trade feedback should only be used to describe your personal trading experience with a user. It should not be used (i) to post negative comments when you disagree with someone's offer, (ii) for revenge or retaliation when someone leaves you negative feedback, or (iii) for unrelated comments or trading experiences not directly involving you.]
As per the screenshots that Shannara55 helpfully posted:
Shannara55 asked me to make an offer.
I said "for people who don't read the "I want..." section of my post, $1,000,000"
The part of the FAQ that Shannara55 is in violation of:
[It should not be used (i) to post negative comments when you disagree with someone's offer]
Weirdly, I've managed to have hundreds of interactions where people don't get snarked at (see the four pages of comments on my trade), because most people aren't self-absorbed assholes who presume that they have the right to waste the time of others. For fuck's sake.
(I don't know what fucking world Shannara55 lives in where being a presumptuous asshole is totally acceptable, but what a nice and carefree existence they must have.....)
