Contacting a Moderator:

---

• If you have completed the objective of your thread, or want a topic to be closed. Please edit the topic title to include something along the lines of "Can be closed," "Sold," "Please lock," etc. This will make it easier for Moderators to identify topics that can be locked.

 

• If your topic was locked, and you want it re-opened, you can contact a

Moderator via PM with a request to unlock the specified topic.

 

• Please read the

Important Information thread and know the risks of certain trades. If you end up needing to make a report, don't do it by spamming the user's thread or by writing it in Trade Chat. Instead, be patient and make a report in the Report Center. A Moderator will be able to look into it as soon as they're available.
