No, you aren't the damatic one. But out of pure curiosity; can you explain this situation fully?

If it is of a personal matter I think its a little inappropriate to ask them to explain it fully. Ultimately if there is clear evidence of violation, the IP ban is not an unfair request. Unfortunately many service providers can change your IP or even do so every time you log into your interenet so sometimes these kinds of harassments are unavoidable. If it persists and you are in the same county / state / country, then you should consider legal action locally. Most stalkers can become physically abusive once they get bored of the digital abusing.

I pick myself. myself. myself. wait. im not a mod. booo.. you guys and your secret society :/

The Once, you are incorrect.

If your trade contains items A, B, C, and D, if someone searches for ANY combination that includes at least one of those, it will come up in the results.

Someone does not have to search A + B + C + D to find your trade, just A or B or C or D

Do you read??? I am talking about the items listed that I would be selling but are not included in the trade so would not show up in searches. I recommend learning English.

I think instead of insulting Watson, you should just elaborate to him, which I will do for you:

If I have 16 weapons to sell and I can only post 8 per posting, I will open 2 seperate trades, each trade will list 8 and then 8 totally different items all with a bounty of 1 scrap each (if the case may be). I would not have the same weapon in both trades as it is redundant and will only create an offence of the rules.

IF however I have 2 strange rocket launchers and one I am selling as a regular one off and the other I am selling in a set only format then it is not a double listing and is not a violation of the rules.

I personally am collection level 0-100 vintage BONK atomic punch. I doubt I will sell it (unless I will one day quit steam trading altogether). It's a way for me to keep entertained on slow trading days. But that is just me.

Not if they are advertising something I am not searching for, no it does not.

If they are selling keys in that trade and you searched for keys then there is nothing wrong with that. You are not obligated to be interested in anything else.

IF they are advertising keys and then saying "selling JUNK A for COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ITEM" and there are no keys at all then that is a misleading trade and can be reported. I had a long chat with a mod on this and they got back to me after discussions between the other mods so take it as a probably accurate statement I just made.

On a side note where this can be useful:
When I was moving less volume I created trades by "class" and had links saying " If you want to see my "<alternate class name>" trades, visit this trade.
It really helped me generate more sales. Most effective was when I had class hats advertising stranges for the same class. MOST found it useful. Now that i remove and redo my trades every other day or so cuz they fill up so fast with spam I stopped doing it.

I just hope that this means that automumping 0 stock trades are an offense now, since there is a workaround.

YES! I support this STRONGLY! It makes it quite difficult to convert metal to keys and have these guys CONSTANTLY show up that have NO stock. I need to trade over 100 keys worth a week and it has become a labor to do so because so many people are "out of stock". THANK YOU SNEEZA!
