    Could someone please inform me of what counts as a "Troll auction", I am asking bc I see lots of players say some auctions are "Troll Auctions" and I simply don't want to start one. Thank you in advance. (also sorry if this is not allowed to be talked about.)

    A troll auction is an auction obviously meant to scam or troll, such as auctioning 5 dirt at 5k, or at high increments.

    Another example: Constantly auctioning 1 dirt.

    Basically best to use common sense. Ask yourself:

    - Is my auction pointless?
    - Is this going to annoy users?
    - Is this going to disturb those who are waiting to auction actual meaningful items?
    etc...

    If the answer to any of those is yes, don't auction.
