Questions about new rules?
With the new set of rules under Trade Rules, there are a few of them that I would like clarification on.

2. "Don't create trades unless you're actually going to trade the items..."

Question: I see many trades of collectors who have their collection up on the left side in order to prove how dedicated they are to collecting their item(s). Is is ok to do that if you are still trying to expand your collection? With craft # and such, its pretty much the only way you can get traffic, by loading your left side with all the craft #321's you own.

3. "No misleading trades — if you're looking to trade 1.33 refined for some hat, please don't put 2 refined up on the left hand side..."

Question: How far is this going to be enforced? While this seems like a helpful rule, I can see it getting alot of criticism if enforced poorly or excessively. Some situations I can see as grey areas:

A craft hat trade like in the example, What if there is 3,4, or 8 refined on the left side? What if they are buying in bulk?

An expensive unusual with only one bud on the left side and the trade notes ask for "Bud offers". Clearly the OP doesn't want just one bud for his hat, he wants bud OFFERS. But there will be the wana-be admin noob that reports him for this.

There are others that I cant think of right now but It would be nice if there was some informal clarification on how far it will be enforced.

4. "No relists. Relisting is creating multiple trades for the same purpose, or listing the same item in multiple trades excessively."

Question: I was temp banned for this very recently. I had trades like the following for each class: http://www.tf2outpost.com/trade/8484745
Personally, I found it very hard to consider it relisting, each trade was for different unusuals and had a different set of prices. The information I got from the moderator who handled my ban was that all my trades showed up on the front page at the same time so it was "excessive" I guess.

Now I have reopened those trades: http://www.tf2outpost.com/user/15188
This time I tried to make them 4-5 minutes apart from each other to prevent all of them showing up on the front page at the same time; I also removed the class token (but kept all hats from the same class). Each trade has different hats on the right side and the prices I am paying are also slightly different for each trade. Are cases like this considered relisting (Am I in danger of another relisting ban?)
