    Agreed, I just made my first trade in a month yesterday and got 5 phishing bots requests as a result. Can't imagine how many requests high tier traders are getting recently.

    Don't always assume a low level means a phish bot. Check their recent activity and what not, and if they are an obvious phish bot, block them instantly, so they don't add you again in the future (that has indeed happened to me lol).

    I actually check their profiles before ignoring. And besides, the rule of my profile states that if you are under level 5 you need to leave a comment on my profile. But again, I still do check their profiles

    Okee dokee. Yeah, too many people don't read, unfortunately. It does become quite frustrating. Some people have added me asking what the price of my [insert item they want to buy] is, despite the price being listed right in front of their face.

    People who don't read my info stating the requirements get auto ignored. They do it again they get blocked as they obviouslly can't be bothered to read.
