SPTF Rules v1.3
Welcome to the Single Player Trading Forum!
All members are expected to follow these rules at all times. Ignorance to these rules is not a valid excuse for breaking them. By no means does any of these rules supersede or replace the rules published by the site Administrators. You agreed to these rules when you registered, but if you need to be reminded of any of them, they can be found here (http://forums.diabloii.net/rules/). If you are found to be in violation of these rules, any Moderators or Administrator may take whatever disciplinary action he deems appropriate for the offense, up to and including a permanent ban.
Some General Rules
• Show respect for everyone, whether he deserves it or not.
• Be polite.
• Do not post Off-Topic threads. Reasonable Off-Topic threads are permitted in the Single Player Forum (http://forums.diabloii.net/forumdisplay.php?f=3).
• Do not “bump” your thread. If someone is interested in your items, he will find them.
Things You May NOT Trade
• Runes, or any item containing runes
• Duped items
• Items created using any third-party program (hacked items)
• Bugged items
• Any item that does not normally spawn in an unmodified Diablo 2 game
• Any items found while using Maphack, or another similar program
• Characters
• Quest rewards
• Any “real life” items or services
How to Post a Trade List
Each member is permitted to post his own trade thread. Your thread should include, in its title, the date that it was created. In your post, you must list the item or items that you are searching for by name, as well as what you are offering in return. Be as specific as possible; this will help ensure that you get what you are looking for in the trade.
If you are playing any version of the game other than 1.10 Expansion Softcore, indicate such in your post. Also, if you are playing any mod, declare the name of each mod at the beginning of your post.
Item lists are permitted and encouraged; however, you are encouraged to use space-saving measures where appropriate. If possible, separate items by type or function to make a specific item easier to find, and alphabetize lists whenever practical. Rather than listing each item in a separate line, use a vertical line (shift and \ key: it looks like | ) to separate item names. Remember that the easier your list is to navigate, the more likely it is that you will get what you are looking for and have a positive trading experience.
Trade negotiations should take place within the thread. This measure will keep everyone honest in their trade offerings, and if there is a problem, is more easily traceable than e-mails or Private Messages. If you choose not to post e-mail addresses or IP addresses, you may exchange the same via PM, but only after the trade deal has been made. See the section below titled, “Making the Exchange.”

Replying to a Trade List
When replying to a trade list, state simply which item or items you are offering, and in return for what. Be as specific as possible. If you require more information on an item being offered, ask politely and directly.
You may ask for an ATMA readout on any item, at any time, for any reason, and the poster should provide it for you. See the section below titled, “Use of the ATMA Program.”
DO NOT post a reply that accuses another member of any type of misconduct! If you think that an item or a person is suspect, bring it to the attention of a Moderator. More information on this is provided below, in the section titled, “Reporting Suspect Persons / Items.”
A sample reply:
I offer Heaven’s Light in exchange for Widowmaker and M’avina’s Embrace.
Will you please post the ATMA readout on your Thunderstroke?
Trade Values
There is no “currency” in Single Player trading. Our economy is a barter system, where values are relative only to the individuals need for an item. Thus it is entirely up to you to determine if a trade offer is fair or not.
Making the Exchange
There are three basic ways to execute a trade:
1. Make a mule character or ATMA stash, and e-mail it as an attachment to the person with whom you are trading. After the trade has been executed, meaning both people have their requested items, you must DELETE the item/mule/stash from your computer. This prevents dupes from being created and re-traded If you choose to post an e-mail address, you do so at your own risk!
2. Meet the person with whom you are trading in a TCP/IP game, and make the exchange using the in-game trade window. If you choose to post an IP address, you do so at your own risk!
3. Meet the person with whom you are trading in an Open Battle.net game, and make the exchange using the in-game trade window.
Reporting Suspect Persons / Items
Unfortunate though it is, there will be times when you encounter a dishonest person and/or an illegitimate item. The only correct course of action is to use the “Report This Post” button. This also applies to any circumstance in which any forum or site rule has been broken. Be sure to provide an adequate description of the problem when you report the post to a moderator. You may politely request an explanation in such a situation, but only after the post has been reported. The Moderator or Administrator who responds to your report will examine the post that you reported, and then question the individual responsible for the post. DO NOT, under any circumstances, be hostile, accusatory, disrespectful, or otherwise negative to any individual in this forum, regardless of the wrong he may have done.
Use of the ATMA Program
ATMA is the acronym for A Tenshi Muling Application. There is an ATMA FAQ (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=265765) posted in the Single Player Forum. Though it is not a requirement, all members are highly encouraged to use ATMA as their primary muling program, because it displays & reports item fingerprints. These random letter and number combinations are unique to individual items in the game. This fingerprint, along with the other information provided in an ATMA readout, can assist any member in determining the legitimacy of an item. As previously stated, any member may request that you post the full ATMA readout of any item that you are offering for trade. Do not be offended by this; it is standard practice in Single Player trading. In fact, you will likely improve your reputation by consistently and without argument posting ATMA readouts for specific items when requested.
Use of Mods
Some players enjoy D2 game mods (e.g. Red Rune Mod, FE Mod, Eastern Sun). Trading items found while playing them is generally acceptable, as long as you fully disclose the game mod in your posts. There is one major exception. ANY items from "drop mods" are prohibited, because it affects the rest of us by diluting the trading pool. Any item found while using Maphack is also prohibited.
If you question whether you may trade because of your mod use, send an e-mail or Private Message to a Moderator.
