Rules on BumpingAny post by you in your own thread is considered a bump. Upon making your new thread, you must wait 24 hours or more before posting again in that thread. Do Not Bump and Delete. Moderators can see deleted posts clear as day. When posting a bump, you may add any text you wish. You are free to edit bumps just like your original post. Once you have submitted a new post, the 24 hour policy now applies to this post. If you discover you have accidentally bumped early:
immediately edit the top post as you would when closing it (see: "Before starting a new thread")
We are not unreasonable, if we can see you immediately closed the thread, you can avoid a ban.
You must wait 24 hours before you post a new thread.
Bumping to Close a ThreadDo not bump your thread to the front to say "closed", this will result in a ban. If you need a thread closed
the top post, delete all the content and enter: "*** CLOSED BY SELLER ***"
Multiple Active ThreadsYou may have only one open thread per Ventari's section at any given time:
Price Check, Buy, Giveaways, Sell, High End, and Services.
You can always click
at the bottom of your posts to: ADD new items.
Multiple Threads within 24-hoursAny new thread posted in the same section within 24-hours of a previous thread is considered a violation. Make sure you wait 24 hours from the last time you posted on your older thread before you open a new one.
Non-Bid Violations Post a bid or do not post. Advice, questions and comments should be done via private message, ingame whispers, or email. Any post that does not contain a legitimate bid is considered to be a non-bid post. The posting of a bid to make your conversation within a thread “legitimate” will not be tolerated and may at the moderator's discretion result in a ban In short: post your bid, your IGN and contact information and nothing else or you risk a ban
Improper Listing Listing a thread in the wrong section will result in a ban!

- "Godly", "Wicked", "Awesome", "The Best"
Maintaining and Closing ThreadsClosing Threads:
Use
on the top post, delete all the content and enter: "*** CLOSED BY SELLER ***"If you fail to do this, your thread may be viewed as open and result in a ban if you open another thread in the same section.
- Remember: Do not bump your thread to the front to say "closed", this will result in a ban.
Thread Maintenance
- You are allowed to delete old bumps from your thread (How: see under "Double Posts").
- When you delete old bumps, type "thread cleaning" as reason.
- Your last bump must always remain visible
- Make sure to keep your top post updated. As you sell items and receive offers, update your top post so potential buyers can see the relevant information.
Alternate AccountsYou are not allowed to use multiple accounts to gain any kind of advantage:
- Shill Bidding: Bidding/bumping in your own thread using an alternate account.
- Using another account to post anywhere in GWG while banned.
- Multiple Accounts Posting: The normal rule of one thread per forum section applies across all your accounts. Not per account
Any violation will result in all alternate accounts being closed permanently and a lengthy ban (1-4 weeks) to the primary account (the one with the most posts) Users who share a computer or IP are easily misinterpreted as being a single user with alternate accounts. If you share a computer or IP with another GWG user, please inform a member of the Ventari's staff. Remember to add both your GWG user names. If you do not ensure we have this information, you risk having your threads closed and your accounts sanctioned. Under no circumstances can people who share a computer or IP post in each others threads.
Illegal tradesThe following may not be traded or sold: Third party software that interact with the game. Ingame items transported to parts of the game where they don’t belong through glitches or other violations of the EULA. Physical real world items or money. Character builds, written game information, or any other derivative works. GW accounts, CD keys and login details. "lottery" tickets or other similar "chances to win". You are only allowed to trade items you have on your character. If you are selling an item on behalf of another user, you must have the item on your account. You are never allowed the trade on behalf of a user who's GWG account is currently banned.
Other ViolationsRecruiting - Do not attempt to recruit guild members. There is a section for this: Guild Connections. Links - Do not post links to other sites in your thread. Exceptions:
- direct URL or IMG link to a picture of the items you are selling.
- Direct link to item descriptions or item pictures hosted by the official or unofficial Wiki.
- Links to Guild Wars Guru Auction. You are not allowed to accept bids in the sell forums but can inform potential buyers by linking to your auction.
Redirecting - Do not redirect potential buyers to other sites in order to conclude transactions. Heavy Images - If we deem a picture is too heavy, we will remove the IMG tag and replace it with URL, or close the thread. Do not post in: Family members, roommates, guild mates, and employees threads. Even if your sole intent is to purchase the item. Contact them through PM or whisper if you wish to buy their offered items. Fake trades - we have seen items posted for sale, that did not exist. For this reason, we retain the right to close threads and request visual confirmation of the item ingame. If such proof is not offered, the item cannot be offered up for trade again on GWG. Do not post in old threads: If a thread has not been edited or bumped by the user who posted it for a month or more, it is safe to assume he has abandoned it! Posting in such a thread will likely serve no purpose except pushing another user's new and active thread off page one. If you think there's is still a chance the user could be interested in selling/buying the items listed, feel free to contact him through PM or ingame whisper. Posting in such threads often might get you banned.
Service Threads Feedback - You may only post service feedback in a thread after you have obtained the service. Edit the post where you requested the service and add your feedback there, leaving your original request intact. DO NOT write a new post, for it will be considered a NON BID.
We reserve the right to delete/close threads for other reasons than those listed here. If you find your thread was deleted without reason, PMa moderator for the reasons why.
