Yes, thanks for reviving this thread! It's an issue that always seems to pop up whether deliberate or mistakes. Noc hit on my biggest peeve: that kitty is hiding Trait 1 AND Trait 2. Seeing this type of labeling never fails to make me yell at my computer screen.

I don't really sell all that many kitties but when I do I name them with the most likely hidden when I can or if there is a chance of something I will usually add it with something like "Jade in BG." I know this can get confusing, but when I was new, wandering around sims, seeing the (accurate) names on kitties and then looking through their pedis really helped me understand the breeding system. This is another reason the auctioneers knowledge is so important; I got a really good working grasp of the possibilities of a kitty by thoroughly perving pedigrees by listening to good auctioneers that would point out EXACTLY why something could be hidden and where you could see it. I've been consumed by school work the last few months and have rarely had a chance to go to auctions but hopefully if someone is willing to take the time to do an auction they understand they also have to take the time to be absolutely as knowledgeable as possible, for their customer's good and for their own success frankly.

I rarely do it but I want to give a thank you to those in the community who are willing to message people who appear to have made a mistake in their naming or advertising. If done in a polite and well communicated manner I think this can 1) provide better education and 2) serve as a peer based system of check and balances for the secondary market.

And a double "yay" for those of you who actively hold classes, create documents, maintain databases, etc., etc., all for the good of our little community! Without these things there would probably be a lot more misunderstanding/misadvertising
