I can not stress the importance of this rule:
You MUST NOTIFY either STOFFELEES (for KUHNAS) or TICK-TOCK (for LUCAIN) and either Stoffelees OR Tick-Tock for anything else, of ANY AND ALL TRADES and/or GIVEAWAYS that take place!!!
And not only must you NOTIFY Stoffelees or Tick-Tock about the trade/giveaway, you must:
DOCUMENT IT!!
Either keep the PM, or, even better, take a screen shot of the PM (Pressing the Print Screen button on your keyboard, then opening Paint and right click>Paste will do the trick) and save the screen shot.
Here! I'll even make you a form!
-----
Username:
If you are trading a KUHNA:
Stoffelees
If you are trading LUCAIN:
Tick-Tock
If you are trading ANYTHING ELSE:
Stoffelees or Tick-Tock (but NOT both!)
Subject: Trade Notification
Hey, [Stoffelees/Tick-Tock], [name of other person in trade] and I have traded pets. I gave [name of person] a [or insert number of] [name of pet], for which I received [name of pet/nothing, if it was a giveaway]. I'd like a PM from you confirming that you received my trade notification, and also so that I can document that the trade happened. Thank you!

NOTE: If the trade involves Lucain AND Kuhna, then you MUST notify BOTH Stoffelees and Tick-Tock!
IF at ANY POINT you are NOT on our list when we do sweep checks, we will WARN YOU, and if you can not produce documentation or proof that this trade or giveaway happened, we will DELETE the pets in question.
It is between the TWO PARTIES involved in the trade who will do the notifying. It never hurts for BOTH of you to send a PM - in fact, that might be better, so that both of you can receive documentation.
And please, DO NOT ASSUME that if you receive a pet in a thread giving away anything that we will pick up on it and monitor it and automatically update our lists. That is YOUR responsibility!
Now then! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. We ALWAYS prefer that you ask a question to clear something up, rather than have you unsure and accidentally cause problems for yourself.
Thank you for reading.
