Change the Rejection Message in GTS
Forum-Index → Suggestions → Implemented → Change the Rejection Message in GTSIt cause undue misery for the people offering, especially new people and leads to users pal padding to ask why you rejected their trade when they offered EXACTLY what you wanted, or why you rejected their trade when you said the pokemon was for FREE.
It also leads to oversensitive people rejecting trades of others who "rejected" their trades the day before, or believing users dislike them because they weren't chosen and in some cases blocking people because they rejected their offer.
I think the message is fine if you did actually use the "reject" offer button, however when you choose someone else trade I think it would cause less pain/drama if the message was changed to something like "the user has accepted a better offer, please try again on another trade"
I don't believe this would be hard to code and the change of message would save people wondering why their trades were rejected and assuming the worst.
I'd suggest simply putting, "The user accepted someone else's offer on their trade" or something among these lines instead. Because having it say that the user accepted a 'better offer' makes it sound as if your own offer was bad/not worth it. Which, to me, gives off a kinda negative vibe, to be honest.
But yeah, generally speaking, I support the suggestion.

People often think the PH sprites are bland. Do they shade? Well, yes they do. You'll be surprised how much care is taken for these sprites.
I have received pal pads asking why the trade was rejected and I've seen feeds and posts in the forums asking why people reject offers on free pokemon, when actually they just accepted someone elses offer.
I also notice that if I choose someone elses offer, even if I have 4 of the same trade up, then the "rejected" people never try again on one of the other trades so the "rejected" message is clearly having an impact on them.
