PM Etiquette
Just felt like I should tell new members a bit about the PM system.
The PM system, or private message, is very useful for trades and everything else. It would be hard to talk about everything in a trade on the trade page. The other members would naturally get mad because they don't need to listen to you and another member talk about a trade. PM can also be used to contact members quickly because a member can't check a thread every five minutes.
PMs should always be replied to. Even if you don't need to reply to something it is nice to reply so at least the other member knows you read it. Sometimes members ignore PMs because they aren't interested in the offer a member is giving or many other possibilities. This can be very hard for the member waiting for the reply. Even if you're not interested you might as well let the member know. Even if you back out of a trade or something and just want to forget about it you still should let the member know.
Remember, even though only one member can see a PM you send it doesn't mean you can break the rules in PMs. Even though the other member can only see it the PM could end up being seen by another member. If you want to swear and stuff than you can use email for that.
Just some tips,

I'll sticky it for now until Leo sees it and deems it stays stickied or should be put somewhere else!
