Many people gave out many things for Christmas, yes? Christmas has been over for a while now, yes? Well then why are there still trades from before boxes opened that I never got notice of? Example: Moofius and ToxicShadow were given cash boxes from a usually reliable person. Only thing is, I did not learn about this transfer until last night. Moofie asked me for a list of what she still had, and upon getting the list was like, 'Where's my Fenref?' This is what happens when people don't notify me of things!
I can understand being a day or two late. Honestly though, you should send me a message the moment you send someone something. It helps make sure that the records don't get messed up. It's bad enough that I'm human and have been known to make an error here and there. If I was sent a trade note from one side of the trade one week and then a week later finally got notice from the other person, well it's highly likely that the trade might have been recorded already and will get recorded again, thus screwing up your pet count and the other person's.
Yesterday, before finding out of these errors, I had decided on doing something that might take me a while to do since I'm about to be back in school... but might help stop errors, or at least cause less of them. Would it help if everyone was able to see the official records of who owns what retired pet? It won't have Kuhnas, Khimera, lucain, ect. Just the things that I'm in charge of keeping record of. Would this help you guys not forget something you already traded off that you forgot to take out of your pen and end up trying to sell again?
Bit of a rant, bit of an idea. I like making sure there are no errors in my work, so I'm trying to figure out something that can work for us all. You send notes, trades get recorded, no horrible message of me pulling my hair out begging you to help me keep things updated.
So yes. Ideas on the records being viewable to all. I would keep the thread locked, because I don't need anyone posting there saying 'Haha. Found an error.' No, that should be sent in a PM. It would be in the Rule section as well, as that's the only area I feel as proper.
I'll be working on updating the records so they will be ready for view soon.. So yeah. Just keep making sure to actually message me. >>
