The problem with adopting freebies to get rid of them immediatly. (+freebie resellers) 

So this first part is probably going to be more my opinion than a universal one so feel free to give your opinion down below. 

I see this quite often. People adopting a freebie and then almost immediatly putting them in a game thread or giving them to a shelter (to gain shelter currency). You shouldn’t adopt freebies you don’t like, unless you may have a redesign idea and want to change them to your taste. However adopting characters with the intent to never use them seems to rude. I understand that you may adopt a character that you end up not liking as much as you thought or maybe it was just an impulse adopt. In that case I completely understand. It probably happens to all of us. But pls don’t adopt characters if you don’t even like them to begin with. 

The things I mentioned above aren’t the worst obviously and in the end they don’t really harm anyone. But I’m gonna talk about a more extreme version of this. 

People adopting freebies to sell or trade them. 

I don’t think I need to explain why this bad but I will anways. It’s rude towards the person you adopted the character from. They gave it to you FOR FREE. Only adopting them to resell them later is horrible! It’s also unfair to the person you are selling it to. Because you are selling them a character that actually has no value. If you do this you are honestly a shitty person! 

Exceptions:

• Redesigning a freebie and then reselling. You made a new design and that also means a new piece of art. In this case you can definitly resell (or trade) for the value of the redesign. (However you can not add the original art pieces as added value since they were free) 

• Selling (or trading) after adding more art (only reselling for the value of the added art, free art you got from somebody does not count!) 

• Trading for another freebie (However do not adopt characters to trade them immediatly, that’s rude. Only if you adopted the character and lost connection) 

•Selling with explicit permission of the person gifting them. (In some rare cases the person gifting a character will allow it to keep its value and is allowed to be resold, I have seen this a few rare times in raffles but it doesn’t happen often) If the person gifting you a free character did not give you the permission to put the character up for sale/offer then pls don’t do that!
