Alright, the rules and the board have received a substantial amount of tweaks and updates today. Here's the updated rules:

.....note: NO TC SALES CAN BE MADE IF A THREAD IS NOT OPEN AND VERIFIED BY A MODERATOR. SELLERS FOUND MAKING SALES BEFORE THEIR THREADS ARE APPROVED WILL HAVE THEIR ACCOUNTS SUSPENDED.
What this means:
You're allowed to sell your TC in-game, in PMs, and on the forum anytime that you (the seller) have an
approved thread in the Toricredits board. Whenever you make a sale, you (or the buyer) are required to document that sale in your sales thread with the amount of TC sold, the amount of USD paid, and who the buyer was
within a 12 hour period of the sale taking place.
What it does not mean:
It does not mean that we will take third-party chat platform screenshots as evidence in scam reports, and it absolutely
does not mean that you can make sales while you do not have a sales thread or your sales thread is unapproved.

.....I) The amount of TC being sold to the buyer.
.....II) The amount of USD being sent to the seller.
.....III) A confirmation from the seller or buyer stating that the payments have been sent.
D) The party who did not initially confirm that the payments have been sent has to do one of the following within a 24 hour period:
.....I) Confirm that the sale took place.
.....II) Claim that the sale did not take place, and file a scam report.
.....III) In the event that nothing is done, the Market Squad will assume that the sale took place. Make a scam report with the appropriate information if the sale did not take place.
What all of this means:
Guideline C.) is outlining what is obligatory to be documented in the sales thread. The seller or the buyer needs to document and confirm the TC being sold, the USD being sent.
Guideline D.), simply put, is just saying that the person who
did not make the initial confirmation needs to either confirm or deny that the sale actually happened. You're not obliged to, but we (the staff) will assume that the sale took place if no scam report/statement is made to say otherwise.

G) Sellers are allowed to create new sales threads before their previous thread has closed on the sixth (6th) day of their current sales thread being opened.
.....I) This allows moderators to verify your TC sources and login history within a 2 day period, resulting in minimal downtime on sales.
What all of this means:
Guideline F.) is an adjustment to sales auto-closing after 5 days -- now they close after 8 days of the thread being posted
or 4 days after the last post in the thread.
The 4 day part is to ensure threads that aren't actively being bumped are closed a little earlier than usual. The 8 day part ties into our Guideline G.), which
should allow sellers to time making new threads on a weekly basis rather than on a weird 5 day interval.
Guideline G.) means that you can now prime your threads -- create them 2 days earlier so that we can approve them a tad earlier than your active sales thread closes. This
should result in zero downtime on your sales thread if timed appropriately, and it gives us plenty of time to approve your TC sources and verify your login history.
