  1. Interfere with the CNCTimes site
  2. Use profanity on the site
  3. Infringe on CNCTimes's intellectual property
  4. Create a new account or buy and sell on other existing accounts to avoid restrictions or limits
  5. Make offers to buy or sell outside of CNCTimes, especially in case of Auctions
  6. Falsely report that another member has violated an CNCTimes policy

When a buyer or seller issue comes up, depending on the particular situation, CNCTimes may consider an individual's performance history and the specific circumstances, which can influence how CNCTimes apply our rules and policies. At our discretion, CNCTimes may choose to be more lenient with policy enforcement, as long as that decision doesn't result in CNCTimes requiring payment from another member. CNCTimes reserve the right to do the right thing for both buyers and sellers.

Identity Rules

CNCTimes members:

  1. Must be at least 18 years old to get involved with Marketplace
  2. Can't misrepresent their identities

Feedback, Ratings and Reviews Rules

  1. You can't abuse the Feedback/Reviews system.
  2. This means you can't threaten to leave a member negative Feedback or Ratings/Reviews if that member won't do something that wasn't promised in the original listing.
  3. Also, you can't leave Feedback/Review if you're only doing it to help increase a member’s score. This is a type of Feedback manipulation and is also not allowed.

To report a member who may be violating our policies:

  1. Review the relevant section of this policy (and its related policies) to make sure the buyer is really breaking the rules.
  2. Once confirmed, contact CNCTimes

When CNCTimes review a report of a member violating our policies, CNCTimes look at the circumstances, including the members' history. CNCTimes make decisions based on the evidence in the individual situation, as well as by evaluating patterns of behavior that create a negative value in the marketplace. If CNCTimes aren't sure about something or can't prove it with certainty, CNCTimes may not take any action. Also, because CNCTimes respect our members' privacy, CNCTimes can't discuss the results of any investigations.
