This guy welched on a trade, with video and chat evidence provided. Then he changed his PSN ID in an attempt to skirt justice. When confronted with the issue, he said, "damn this dude has been pressing you and watching my account for four days? make sure to tell him that if he goes to his settings and saved data and turns off auto sync with cloud he can backup his saves! your welcome have a nice day."

I have never felt more confident in a blacklist in my life. The evidence was tremendous and well-documented.

He is banned, keep an eye out.

Please don't spam other subreddits, but if you see someone trading, it helps everyone if you let them know to join and subscribe. I love how much activity there is here already with the 215 subs. It can be even better with more. If someone wants an item, just let them know that this is a great spot to join.

An example of this effect is /r/pumparum

Edit: Guys, don't use the anonymous report feature to report bad trades, ok? We're not going to respond to that. Message the moderators instead.

Welcome! We're proud to announce that trading is now open! Please read the side bar as all information is in there.

Our dear friend Sparkly the Crow has decided to visit us from beyond Boletaria in hopes of swapping all your twinkly sparklies. He's agreed to stick around for a while, and assist everyone in their attempts to profit from one another, as long as we play nice. He has asked that we keep tabs on who "give the good twinklies, who give the good sparklies."

He has decided to personally handle all positive karma reports. He only responds to +karma when giving out positive karma, no more, no less, and only after a trade has been completed, with a little back and forth. He's quite picky and he won't cater to you when you've edited your post, so make sure you reply to who you want to give karma to with a new post! He doesn't leave his nest much, so he should be able to notice when you've dropped some karma instantly, and in any thread.

TO READ MORE ABOUT THE WAY THIS SYSTEM WORKS, PLEASE VIEW THE WIKI HERE.

Pleae Note: Not every type of item can be traded in the game! Here's tradable items in Demon Souls:

• Armor can be transferred.

• Rings cannot be transferred. (Let me know if this is patched or changes)

• Weapons/Shields can be transferred.

• Consumables can be transferred.

• Ammunition can be transferred.

• Stones can be transferred

Let's also take this opportunity to provide five simple tips on how to prevent scamming from happening to you:

1. Don't trade with brand new reddit accounts. They have nothing to lose. Accounts less than 4 days old (we've reduced this to 1 day old for release) cannot post here, but still, look to see if it's a legitimate reddit account with a post history.

2. Talk to them first. Use your gut. If you really feel that they might not follow through, maybe it's not worth the risk.

3. Keep your trade discussions inside the trade threads. It helps us know what's going on. It helps other users know what's happened to you, and vice versa.

4. Reddit is a karma-driven site. Use that to your advantage. Feel free to check out their post history. Learn about who you're going to do business with a bit.

There's also a possibility for false-negative karma. In the event you're given warning flair and you don't agree with it, don't freak out! Perhaps it was a misunderstanding. Maybe your power cut out right when the trade was to occur. Maybe you thought you dropped it and logged off. We're not here to screw up your karmas, we're here to keep the community abreast of the trades that occur and how they went. Good trades get rewarded, bad trades get reported. If you can resolve the issue with the person who reported you and you BOTH tell me that you're happy now, we see no issue removing your warning.

In the event you are assigned multiple warnings and do not attempt to fix it, we will report any and all identifying information we have regarding your account or any other account we know of that's linked to you. This is so that you can't create multiple reddit accounts so you can continue to conduct fraudulent trading practices.

Below is the type of letter you would receive on a first strike offense. Remember, if you receive two strikes, you're banned and our collective community will hunt you down on any account you post on.

Hi,

We have gotten messages reporting that you were not following through on the agreements in your trades. This was not from the GhostBlu account, but from the GhostGreen account. As such, we've given GhostGreen negative karma, listed your PSN account on our Dealer Karma Repository, and have also listed your reddit alias, GhostBlu, on the same repository.

I would like to politely ask that you discontinue this behavior. If you feel this message was in error, I'd be more than happy to discuss with you your side of the story and possibly mediate a solution between you and the party in question.

I do not wish to see this continue. For the most part this is a community of people who are very giving and good natured. Many of them may have been willing to even assist you with your goal, even if you couldn't have properly compensated them, as they may have many of these items laying around. This community works best when you work with the community, though I understand this item is particularly difficult to obtain. I hope you take this sentiment to heart and begin trading in honest.

Happy trading, and play nice :-)

The games are very old, and I think it's time to retire the bot. Thanks for being great traders all these years. The subreddit will remain open.

Hello Slayers of Demons! Return to Boletaria 2022 will be starting in two weeks and run from Tuesday, October 4th - Tuesday October 18th!

For /r/twinkly's participation in this year's Return, we will be co-hosting a "Hall of Slayers" event with the multiplayer subreddit /r/SummonSign. Please read the details below:

• From Oct. 4th through Oct. 18th, any successful trades you complete on /r/twinkly will award both parties 1 point. Giveaways are welcome.

• Likewise, any co-op sessions or help requests you successfully complete on /r/SummonSign will award both parties with 1 point.

• At the end of Return to Boletaria, points will be added up for all users and the top three Slayers with the most points will receive the following prizes!

1st place Slayer: $30 Playstation Store Digital Gift Card - 1 month of Reddit Premium - 1 month of Discord Nitro

2nd place Slayer: $10 Playstation Store Digital Gift Card - your choice of 1 month of Reddit Premium or Discord Nitro

3rd place Slayer: 1 month of your choice of Reddit Premium or Discord Nitro

The only rule for participating is: no cheating! To this end, accounts must be at least 1 month of age in order to participate at the start of the event (Oct. 4th). Accounts must also have at least 50 comment karma. All versions of Demon's Souls are allowed.

For more information on other Return to Boletaria festivities, visit /r/demonssouls or the Demon's Souls (PS5) server!

^{Due to the nature of the prizes,} /u/SammieAgnes ^{will be reaching out directly to the winners to arrange their prizes. You will need to share your region, and your Discord account if applicable.}

It is 6pm my time now. In 1 hour at 7pm I will be giving away a retarded amount of weapons for free for 1 hour.

I will be in 1-1 dropping a red sign in the water near the archstone.

The sign is red for a reason. Its to prevent you from getting invaded while picking stuff up. If I wanted to kill ppl I would use a black stone.

Rules.

DONT WASTE TIME!

I would HIGHLY suggest you put away EVERYTHING and wear the ring of Herculean Strength and/or the ring of uneven scales to hastily pick up as much as possible without having to press start to send to storage on every item.

Pick up Everything as I drop it. There can only be 29 items on the ground at once. You miss stuff? Too bad you were warned.

First comes first serve. If you cant see my sign I'm probably in a world dropping stuff this it is so important to not waste time.

Hello fellow traders,

Today we’re launching a new trading subreddit for everyone venturing deeper into the Lands Between:

/r/PatchesEmporium

Please come join us over there for all your Elden Ring trading needs!

For those who've traded with us on the /r/pumparum family of trading subreddits, the new sub should feel very familiar. Platform brackets, flairs etc. should also work the same. We’ll also add more detail about the way trading works (i.e. which item can and cannot be traded) once more information is available on those.

There’s also /r/BeyondTheFog for general co-op/PvP, the new sister sub to /r/SummonSign.

We do have a karma system over there aswell, but do note that for the time being, it doesn’t sync with /r/pumparum and its’ sister subs, but it will sync between /r/SummonSign and /r/BeyondTheFog.

Trade on, fellow Tarnished!

Hey guys,

I am not the best graphics person and I dont know how to design well. If you want to give me banners/icons to design this subreddit on new.reddit.com's design system, I'll give you 100 karma and an appreciation post.

The theme is "Sparkly the Crow".

:-)

Hi,

Why must everyone say ps5 if this is an exclusive?

Regardless, I've been banned on the official discord for saying that I identify as an attack helicopter. Even though I spent days in the co-op channels helping others and having then them help me.

I'd like people to play with. Whether I play as human or you play as human.. souls are souls.

I understand this subreddit is meant for trading. However, I have no where else to go. The discord for demon souls is guarded by a snowflake.

If you want to delete this post for being off topic. I understand.

However I wish for an area for people to find others to play with, without having to watch the words they say I'm fear of being shunned.

My Psn is: AvocaPA feel free to add me to friends. I use microphone and stream on occasion.

Thanks

Hello everyone!

I have seen a lot of the back and forth over the past few months and have decided to step in and attempt to alleviate the concerns. I have modified the automod (which should work, if it doesn't, I'll fix it!) to now REQUIRE people follow the entire format in the sidebar, not just the platform tag. In return, there should be no more bans or mutes related to this issue, as automod will simply delete the post with a comment explaining the format and giving an example and a format that can be copy/pasted and modified easily. No hard feelings, no manual intermission needed. This is how it should have been from the beginning, and how I thought it was being handled, and it was not, so I apologize for not noticing and stepping in sooner.

With that being said, the general philosophy of these subs is to be as hands off as possible, and only really intervene when someone is scamming people or otherwise causing mischief. In light of this, we will not be responding to or assisting with every request related to the format, or your post being deleted for not following it. No one likes an overactive power-trip, and trust me, I certainly don't want to do the work. If we receive spam or harassment in relation to this, you WILL be banned, simple as that.

Likewise, we will not be assisting users with new reddit accounts trying to circumvent the age restriction (accounts must be at least a day or older). This is to help circumvent users scamming others, getting banned, then immediately coming back on a new account. It is there for your sakes, and we will not change the rule for anyone. Wait a day, or don't trade here. Spam and harassment related to this WILL result in you being banned.

I hope this helps clean up the sub and prevent any overreach or overreactions, and helps curb the amount of work that needed to be done.

As a clarification, we do allow you to ask for freebies, but you have to offer something, anything, in return. Be that rubbish (H: rubbish) or your thanks (H: My Thanks) or anything (H: Anything), this is to follow the spirit and format of the subreddit, and this will not be bent for anyone, for any reason. If you can't even offer a token of appreciation to the person helping you with a (H: My Thanks), then don't bother trading here.

Functionally, for those who have been here for years, or even who have successfully made just one trade, nothing on your end should be changing. The format is the same, the requirements are the same, and the results are, hopefully, better.

As a final note, because I just threw this regex together, its possible I messed something up. I'm not perfect and make plenty of mistakes. If you have an issue with posting in the next few days, DO FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE THE MODERATORS. Include the exact title you used and I will try to fix it if it should be working. If I don't respond, I either think it caught an incorrect title correctly or I'm just busy with work.

I hope everyone has a good day!
