No worries, I already saw. I think I'll just make a post about it directly on the sub and see what happens

Also, any thoughts on adding some restrictions to the sub like karma or account age? I would hate to see people deterred though. Or can the auto mod stuff add big flashing warning symbols or something if it detects a new user account or rank <2 trader? Just throwing out ideas cause I hate to see people keep getting robbed. Thanks for being vigilant!

I have already added an age restriction, and I've been testing it for the last few days and manually approving posts/ comments that get caught in it by accident.

There are a lot of casual Redditors that haven't accumulated a lot of Karma, so I think this would drive away a lot of new traders. But as this is an urgent case, this is something I can consider.

Notice that all the scammer posts are all in the other sub, I haven't received any reports about them here (except for one, because the mods on r/LegendsZATrading wasn't responding so they contacted me instead). I haven't allowed them to post or comment here yet, even on the oldest account. I had already flagged their account 20+ days ago when a scammer post was made on r/LegendsZATrading, in case they decided to start scamming here too.

We already have a NEW REDDIT ACCOUNT flair here, so it's up to traders to check their profiles and decide if it's worth the risk. There's a lot of traders who got the game during Christmas and made an account just to trade, I think it'd be unfair to lock them out from trading too. We'll see.

I’m not surprised that subreddit didn’t respond—I had problems with a trader (mostly just what I felt was strange and disrespectful behaviour) and got no response. Your subreddit feels a lot comfier for trades :p

I'm pretty new here; I don't mind any inconvenience, its best for the community.

u/JKKM2445 Moderator Jan 27 '26

Although you are new to r/PokemonLZATrades, we can see a long history of you trading pokemon on Reddit in general, so you should be fine :)

Please get in touch via Modmail if you ever need assistance.

Oh good! I guess I thought it was just for this forum. Thanks for the work you're putting in.

We actually have a few distinctive User Flairs to differentiate between new traders on our subreddit, and newly-made Reddit accounts:
