Added to section VI

Feedback fraud also constitutes the posting of multiple trades/sales that are to be mailed in the same package. Multiple deals in the same package are only eligible for one feedback as only one package is being mailed. If you find that you have made deals with the same member in a short amount of time and you will be sending them all in the same package then you can contact any MOD to adjust your original posted deal or cancel the deal all together so you can create a new deal to involve all the items you are dealing for. Failure to do this may result in points against your account.

Added to section II
Added these to the list of allowed sites to transfer feedback from.

Beckett (as of December 14, 2009)
Blowoutcards.com (as of April 23, 2010)
Dascardboard (as of June 28th, 2010)

Change bolded part below to show current practice for incomplete or false profile information.
III Account Information:

Failures to do so could/will affect your status as a registered member on SCF and you will automatically be tagged with a Cannot Buy/Sell/Trade Until profile Is Updated Tag until your profile has the full and correct information.

Changed bolded to "items" instead of cards to show that all 'items should be in hand.
I Trading/Selling:

Incoming Cards – All items must be in your possession before you can post them in the Trade Manager. This includes any pending trades as well as all auction wins.

Added to section

VI Trade Manager Rules and VII Trade Feedback

Add this:

Confirmed deals may be put into dispute status after 14 business days of it being confirmed. Do not leave feedback for a deal until the dispute MOD tells you to. If you have more than 1 dispute filed against you at a time then you will be given a No Buying/Selling/Trading tag until all of your current all deals (confirmed open deals) are completed. Then the tag will be removed. Failure to follow the rules only slows down the dispute process and the time it takes the dispute MOD to work your case.

Ammending to Section...

V Posting Guidelines:
Bumping a thread is only allowed after 8 hours have passed since you last posted if you are the last poster. Also, you may not bump more than once in an 8-hour period. You are not permitted to bump a thread if it is still located on the first page of the forum. Bumping is considered any post that is not in response to a previous post. This includes items such as “ttt”, “bump”, “list updated”, etc. Please note that this rule applies to the trading and buying/selling forums.

Adding...

Posting on a thread in the effort to help another members thread stay at or near the top of a forum, otherwise known as "friendly bumping" is not allowed. Friendly bumps constitutes a post that has nothing to do with the thread topic or just a blatant post, staff will use their discretion when determining "friendly bumping".
