Yes, I have tried to explain just some of the basics of breeding, very very basic, 2 traits, shown and hidden, and 4 possible outcomes for boxes, in the Addicts chat, and it felt very very clunky - like I was hogging the chat. I was not shut down for doing that by any CSR, and I had done it in response to a specific question by two new people, but I did very much feel like I was taking up too much space, in what is a group where the chat moves very fast. Now, if I can't explain something in one or two lines, I just don't try it there.
In the auction thread, Kayleigh mentioned the discrepancy between the "hooray" for every single kitten in Addicts chat and the unpleasant splash of reality when somebody tries to take a mediocre (or even better) cat to auction. It is certainly policy in Addicts group to celebrate every cat. And they ARE all cute. But that environment leaves no room for a more nuanced discussion of a cat's pros and cons, other than saying "nice eyes" or "nice combo."

they dont let you mention auctions either?
You can mention auctions exist, but any sort of specific talk about any specific store or auction is not allowed, as I understand it. Because it very quickly veers into something that Might be promotion, or it veers into pricing. Basically, I don't think we can talk about much in the secondary market at all. Anything like that and there's a reference to "here's the link to the secondary market list on the forum."
