Group Chat

The Arcade’s group chat is a great place to make new friends and trade those extra Arcade prizes. We offer this moderated channel to bring the Arcade community together. The group enjoys a lively member base, where Arcade-focused trades and conversation are encouraged. Click here to join!

CHAT RULES

Please Note: In order to maintain the quality of your experience, we have three important rules we’d like everyone to abide by. Those who refuse to follow these rules risk being removed from the group:

  • Be respectful
    Disrespectful language towards fellow chat members, moderators, and Arcade staff will not be tolerated. The Arcade reserves the right to determine what constitutes disrespectful behavior and to take any and/or all action in response.
  • Trades Only
    The Arcade group is for TRADES ONLY. You may not suggest, encourage or discuss re-selling prizes. SLURLS, landmarks and pricing will not be allowed in chat, instant messages or in third party documents. This means you cannot use The Arcade trade chat as a platform to share your SLURLS, landmarks and pricing of your duplicate or unwanted prizes.
  • The Arcade Focus
    Please maintain an Arcade focus in the group. Official event SLURLS, URLS and trading documents can be posted. To minimize confusion, trading of non-Arcade prizes is not permitted in the group chat. If you choose to share your trade list in group chat, be sure it’s comprised of Arcade items only. Trade lists including items from other events shouldn’t be shared in The Arcade’s group chat. Please modify your lists accordingly.

PRACTICE SAFE TRADING

The Arcade has the following suggestions to enhance your trading experience:

  • Verify that the person you would like to trade with is a member of The Arcade  group. Only members should reply to your trade requests.
  • Insist on meeting in an area with Build enabled.
  • Rez your prize(s) to verify the trade is correct.
  • Do not begin a trade if there is a possibility that the person with whom you are trading is away from their computer.

INCOMPLETE TRADES

There may be an instance where your trading partner has suddenly disappeared. Below are some steps you may want to take if this occurs:

  • Leave an offline and wait for the person to come back. It is possible that they may have crashed or lost internet connectivity.
  • Please do not accuse the individual in group chat, by avatar name or chat logs (regardless of the outcome) – this goes against our rule of respecting one another.
  • If a substantial amount of time passes and an item is not returned or exchanged, block the individual so that this will not occur again in the future.

DISCLAIMER

Because The Arcade Staff has no means of resolving transactions where the item was not received:

The Arcade Staff cannot verify, enforce, certify, examine, uphold, or adjudicate any promise, contract, deal, bargain or agreement made by and between members of The Arcade group. While you may have a valid agreement with other members, The Arcade is not a party to, and cannot resolve, your dispute.

Please contact the individuals involved and resolve your issue with them. The Arcade team and its vendors are not responsible for failed trade transactions and no support for such transactions is available.
