Asked to close trade by {MooN} Neonix
This is the trade: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8000104
I have no idea if he/she is an admin or some random user; I'd just like to have someone confirm he/she is an admin or form of TF2outpost authority.
I closed it automatically in fear of him/her being an admin and a risk of being banned/tempbanned.
I also do not see how this trade could be breaking TF2 Outpost rules.

It seems to be a regular user who is mad at your price. you can report him for spam if you wish, or you could just ignore it.

Thank you for clearing this up for me!

I don't see anything breaking the rules either. And no, he's not an admin, just a tier 3 donator.

He was probably referring to your price, as you will have a very hard time (if not impossible) selling this weapon.

As he's not allowed to comment on prices in your trade, and we are not allowed to "price check" here, you unfortunately have to figure out for yourself what you can sell this weapon for.

That is not spam yet, I think. Just hide and ignore these posts.

Spam is considered:
* Posting the same thing multiple times on the same trade.
* Posting links to unrelated websites in offers (backpacks and steam profiles are acceptable).
* Derogatory statements made regarding the value of the trade or listed prices.

Ordering someone to "please close this trade" imho falls under the derogatory/unrelated posting on a trade. he was commenting based on his disapproval of the price. If you dont have an offer or something to post related to the trade, the rule (in my mind is) dont post at all.

Just ignore it and move on i guess would be the best option here, though i still consider it spam. you'll always encounter people like this, just ignore them and continue on your business. best of luck.

Although I agree, that post was unnecessary, I think we do not need to report these comments. We can easily hide and ignore them. Why the need to generate more work for the admins for such a minor offense, that most likely will have no consequences anyway.

I would actually support allowing comments on prices. But that's just me.

Well hopefully we can change the way that people behave on the site. being polite and having manners is something i wish was instilled in everyone.

If anything a mod would give a short temp ban or a warning. Wouldnt take too much time to do fmpov.

Thank you everyone for telling me and I have checked backpack.tf prices and my offer was kind of outrageous :P

I've never seen any admin in OP do that before. I'm sorry but this ones pretty funny. 2 scrap for long heater isn't doing anything but minding its own buisness. If this nonentity was an admin I would have at least though they had a special text for the user name. Let alone the lack of a pro / any person of importance of profile and reception.

I'm sorry if you're embarrassed but you gotta admit the fact that random trader had authority is pretty funny. But I suppose for any credit he/she does have a sexy unusual and a decent bp.

God, nothing happens while I'm awake and the moment I fall asleep all hell breaks loose. (Exaggerating)

That player isn't associated with the OP Staff, and most likely never will, feel free to recreate the trade and ignore him next time. Or, if it's incessant you could report for spam.

Just an update and fyi. Its been found that the user had 2 alts impersonating Mattie! and is now marked as a scammer on SR for impersonation.
