Bartertown Facebook Group Overview — Read Before Joining

Bartertown now has an official Facebook Group to support real-time trade discussions and community interaction. Please read the following carefully before joining or participating.

Access & Approval Process

Anyone may join the Facebook Group. Unlike the Discord, approval comes automatic.


Trade Posting Rules

If you have an active Bartertown post, we recommend linking it at the top of your Facebook Ad post.

You are expected to follow both:
  • The Facebook Group Rules
These include:
  • No thread hijacking
  • You must have physical possession of the items offered
  • One post per week PER ITEM (bumping allowed, within reason) - if your post already exists, don't post it twice!
  • Use proper tags and descriptive titles
  • Update your post once the item is sold or acquired
Failure to follow posting rules may result in timeouts or bans.


Trade Safety Notice

Bartertown recommends all trades be concluded on the Bartertown.com site.

While trade discussions may begin on Facebook, final agreements and references should be completed through Bartertown to be eligible for BTRs (Bad Trade Reports) or Back-Out reports.

Staff will not monitor or moderate trade discussions on Facebook beyond basic moderation (e.g., spam, language, etc.).

Important:
Bartertown is not responsible for any trades, sales, or purchases conducted through this Facebook Group. Only trades that are concluded on Bartertown.com are covered by the site's protections and dispute processes. By participating in the Facebook Group, you acknowledge that you do so at your own risk, and Bartertown will not offer support for any issues arising from off-site transactions.



Advertiser Policy


Only verified Advertisers may advertise any business, product, or service.

Non-advertisers caught advertising will receive an immediate timeout or ban.


Moderation & Conduct

This Facebook Group is a community-first space, and common sense applies:
  • No threats, hate speech, or harassment — these result in an instant ban.
Inappropriate language, spamming, or rule-breaking will follow a 3-strike system:
  • 1st Offense: 1-week timeout
  • 2nd Offense: 1-month timeout
  • 3rd Offense: Permanent ban
It is assumed that all users are old enough to use Discord and understand basic online etiquette.

Want to be a Facebook Mod?
Please PM me if you think you would make a good mod. Note that your history on Bartertown will play into whether we feel you are a good fit.


Final Reminder

Be smart. Be respectful. Be safe.
Facebook is a tool — not a replacement for the security and structure of Bartertown.com.
Use it wisely and you’ll get the most out of both platforms.
And remember - go with your gut and watch out for scammers.
