Trading; The what, where, ifs and buts

S&D Trading Crisis

Hello everyone, a lot of you are asking questions about trading. I hope this topic sums everything up for you, and you're free to discuss within.

Recently, a new hack has been revealed, showing your average noob how to change regulars into shinies. Yes, it converts your whole profile. But I'm not here to explain it. The other hack is a trading exploit, where: if you're logged in and you share your details with someone else, they can access your account and steal all your pokemon. This is also possible without sending your details, you just need to be logged in and they can randomly change the browser numbers and find your account. Unlucky you.

Therefore, for your safety, and to prevent spreading of hacked pokemon, we've closed down the trading section on the forums and the chat room. I ask for you to support us on this decision and to report any known hackers, they will be dealt with.

Sam is working on fixing these issues, so please be patient as to when we re-open the trading facilities.

But I don't care, I'm willing to take the risk?
Well, aren't you brave? If you're still wanting to trade nothing is stopping you from doing it elsewhere. But don't come to us if you get scammed, hacked or bullied. I'll make sure Sam doesn't assist you for sheer ignorance and stupidity.

Where can I talk to you all? I didn't trade anyway?!
We still have the chatroom #poketd. Simply type /join #poketd and you'll be forwarded to our normal chat room.

What if I have hacked Pokemon on my account?
I'm not sure what Sam's action will be; he may do nothing or he may wipe all excess Pokémon such as Eevees etc (delete them like mews and return SND to actual buyers for compensation). Alternatively, if possible, he may revert to an older database which completely erases recent events. I don't know what he'll do or how, these are just random guesses at what I would do.

The answer however: nothing. You can't do anything until we know what Sam will do. However if you feel threatened, remove the hacked Pokémon from your account. If you continue to trade for mews or entei's and members start complaining, you'll be in trouble when your name in mentioned.

Why is this so serious? Just let us trade...
Why? Because some players pay hard earned cash for this. You children wouldn't know that. If you're under the age of 16, I can bet you probably don't care and find this situation hilarious. Well, it's not funny to us older folk who've spent money and time, and invested in this forum (more time and effort!). Sam will stand by our side, and we will have justice.

Summary

Can I be hacked for browsing trade center?
Yes, your details can be typed into the browser and your account can be breached. If someone gets lucky, it's possible.

Can I lose my account for owning hacked Pokemon?
Unlikely depending on Sam's actions.

Can I still discuss hacking and trade?
Nothing is stopping you trading or hacking elsewhere. Here however, hacking is forbidden by Sam's request and trading is offline until further notice.

Hope that sums up many questions. Feel free to ask others.

Thanks,

So basically someone could randomly change the numbers in the web address and get our account?

If you are logged in at the time, yes. Otherwise it'll say: "you appear to have logged in elsewhere" or something.

Good for Sam. I thought something was up when I received a Shiny Charge Pikachu in a trade. Neat to have, but was obviously hacked. Hope this gets addressed quickly....
