Transaction Rumors / Proposals FAQ

[Brian the Automator]

What kind of threads should I create here?

 

 

This forum was created for two types of threads:

 

1) Trade rumors currently being circulated by the media or by other sources

 

2) Trade proposals generated by users to generate conversation

 

 

What kind of threads should I not create here?

 

 

- threads about trades that have occurred

 

- threads that do not involve trade rumors or proposals

 

 

What resources can I use to plan my trade proposal?
