    Hi!

    I Just read that trading with banned users can get you marked. Does this mean all trades? Obviously giving them something knowing that they are going to use it in a scam, or receiving a scammed item is bad, but otherwise is it still ban able? I've had a habit of not checking rep before I trade as I only trade item to item usually through outpost or on server agreements but I just want make sure I don't get any marks in any future trade. I do check now even just to clarify.

    Thanks!

    I did read it in the FAQ but it was clear if all trades are bannable, Or just large, CTI or donations.
    Just curious, Why is this?

    its defined elsewhere. We look into trading with banned offenders IF:
    - item vs item trades for a total of at least a bill's worth.
    - any cash trades
    - any unusual trades.

    why the limit? for we do not want to get scammers to troll traders with this and get others marked. Also, it must be significant enough, to expect traders to check out their trade partner. we do not expect people to check for a weapon vs weapon trade, that would just be ridiculous.
