Tell me if I make mistakes in the tally. 1 of me and 20 of ya'll >:(
your future experience in playing children's video games depends on it

Does this really have to be a rule...?
Even so, this discussion is very member-driven because I have excluded my votes. I am very engrossed in my note-taking though, even making beautifully agonizing errors, yup yup.
For rewards, I am leaning towards a copy of the Pokemon (or at the client's discretion, another Pokemon from their shop). This is... standard for cloning services on other forums. Anyone charging higher than the standard rate will probably have no cloning requests. I am really hoping there will be some altruistic members. Otherwise, the person who wants their Muddy the Gentle Swampert to be cloned will be overlooked... !
I can proofread or better, I can kick someone and make them proofread it for us.

RoseBlade said:I love how you are actually getting involved in this discussion, no sarcasm intended. I have been on other forums, not just gaming, where the owner/admin/general mods did not even stop the obviously 'bad' happenings, smut posts member bashing general disregard for the "rules".
So thank you for that/this. (if this sounds like a suck-up moment it is not)

For qualifications, I'm leaning towards modest post count and join date, as well as having experience and respect within the trade board. The "Claim a ___" threads have similar qualifications. I am vague for good reasons (so ya'll don't work on the requirements >:D).RoseBlade said:I believe that one big question is going to be what being a 'veteran' service provider is going to entail the strangers part is along the same line. If it is a matter of number of posts then it would be a problem for those that only use the trade thread, posts do not count to the total. Length of time on PC? Well I suppose this would work, but there are many here that just joined and are very good at what they do, just pointing it out.
Payment wise, I agree with what you said, it should be decided by the cloner, but within certain limits, nothing like "Give me 3 flawless per clone" be reasonable. Most would go for keeping a copy or something.

It was changed to 5 in order to add some leeway to starting players. It is also controversial. :OPokéSwimmer said:I'd like to state my case here: The rule for the amount of your OT in EV/IV shops is currently Five. It used to be ten a little while ago (idk why it was changed). I just want it to be restored to what it used to be
Free time! Don't we all need it. You basically said it yourself: these changes will be gradual or whenever I have a free weekend/robotPokéSwimmer said:I can do that once I have time (i.e. when I have a weekend with no homework). I'll try to make it as professional looking as possible, but I'd still need someone to proofread it once it is done though.
I can proofread or better, I can kick someone and make them proofread it for us.

- Banning Dex Filler Shops
A trader can create a thread if he or she needs to complete multiple trades, update inventory, and participate in the trading community for an extended period of time. Casual players exist, too. I'm not going to rule them out.
- Global whitelist / reputable / trustworthy traders
I already turned down any kind of member directory, index, etc. I don't want to update something like that (sorry to say, but even if TC obtained more staff, it's going to come down to me updating lists). I'll leave it up to traders to maintain personal lists. Anyone downright atrocious is just removed from the forums.
- Self-edit trade thread titles
Titles can be abused when staff aren't on so as a prude, I am opposed to this; however, I am open to allowing self-edit of the Gen4/5 Prefix.
