In light of recent events and the behavior of a select few trying to use this FUD and Chaos to their benefit I want to take the opportunity to restate the policy regarding transactions of any sort.
It's good. If people advertise some sort of DD on site, they are banned without warning.
It has to be done because right now things are a mess with Arch gone, vendors and customers don't know what to do but rules especially site-wide rules need to be enforced.
You can announce them here, as an advertisement and clearly stipulate the markets that you do business on.
Now that I think about it, I'm going to enforce a brand new rule that I just made up.
For all vendor moving forward please add this line at the bottom of all advertisements. (just a draft, happy to hear your thoughts)
We are available on the following markets : bla bla bla.
We do not condone nor transact on the Dread platform as per the site-wide policy forbidding transactions.
Any requests attempting to circumvent these will be immediately reported.
The rule has been around since day 1 and it's one of the early commandments . /page/rules/
The disclaimer isn't required outside /d/coke, it popped into my head and I decided to just with it since I really don't see how it can be of any detriment to anyone playing by the rules. And from the risk / financial / scam perspectives it should only make users more wise much sooner.

It doesn't matter if you're a vendor or a buyer. It doesn't matter if the dollar value is $1.
