An unconfigured install works. Every default reproduces the bracketed
[Region] [H] … [W] … format most trade subreddits use.Setup
1
Install the app
The app account needs moderator permissions.
Why.
2
Check the hub post
Installing creates and stickies it. If it is missing, run Create the Trade
Post hub from the subreddit menu.
3
Enable user flair
Only if you want trade counts in flair, which is the default. With user flair
disabled subreddit-wide, Trade Post writes nothing.
4
Configure the rules
How settings work, then the five groups. Budget a few
minutes for the region format if you tag anything
other than country and state.
5
Link the hub
From your sidebar and rules wiki. Traders reach Trade Post through the pinned
post.
The hub post
Create the Trade Post hub is the only menu item and is moderators-only. Running it again creates a new hub, unstickies the old one, and records the new one. The old post survives. Reddit does not allow post titles to be edited, so retitling means creating a new hub. There is no confirmation dialog and no way to un-create.First completed trade
- Both traders’ flair updates, if the flair mode is at its default.
- The app account posts a notice in the listing thread naming both new counts.
