You Are Not Obligated To Reverse A Trade

sepulcros_4.png

If a trade has been accepted and completed, please know that no Egg Cave users are ever obligated to "reverse" a trade. A few users, over the last couple of weeks, have initiated legitimate trades and only hours later, typically over private message, have claimed that they were "hacked" and never meant to do or accept the trade. These claims are generally false and are used to warrant sympathy to obtain hand outs to "rebuild" their accounts.

If a trade is complete, it's complete. That's all you need to remember. If a user ever harasses you about "reversing a trade" because their "account was hacked," please report the account immediately to the moderators.

Remember that it is YOUR responsibility to secure your Egg Cave account with security questions and a strong password. You are not responsible for other accounts other than you own.

I heard someone tell a story like this, it sounded kinda fishy at first...

I’ve had this happen to me twice!! Once just the other day and another several months ago.

Huh. I wondered what was up when I saw some of those posts.

it happened to me, the user demanded that i reverse the trade and return the creature bc it was in the ""rules of your profile"" lmao

A user posted on another's wall that they're missing some cc, but the user offered the cc, which got accepted a while ago.

This is just awful. I don't even know why users would do this, but I'm guessing they're young users. Don't worry, they'll learn x/

Hoping this includes 'Return to x if quitting' kinds of trades.

@raccoon Yes it does. Once a creature is in your cove you are under no obligation to give it to anyone if you don't want too.

@Orderedchaos Awesome! It always bugged me that people tried to pull that kind of stuff...
