Abusing the Trade feature to interrupt, etc

[Argyle_Darkheart]

Because some people cannot or would rather not manage it themselves.

I don't see how calling a GM is a better solution than blacklisting the player (unless you really think they deserve to be banned--maybe they do).
Granted, they may not be aware of the option. (Note: I'm talking specifically about trade-griefing).

If somebody thinks that their issue is valid enough they should contact a GM, by all means, they should contact a GM. It is the GM's job to decide whether or not it warrants action, but a player should never feel like their problems aren't important enough to be considered. That's an easy road to self-blame and actual abuse.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, I see your point, and it's valid. But, on the other hand, depending on GMs to solve your problems for you isn't necessarily healthy either. Not only that, it can be a terribly inefficient way of dealing with your current problem.
