I didn't see the replies to my post until today. Your argument is nonsensical. If bladeforums changes their sales policy to not allow GIFT as a form of payment then it's BF site policy. Anyone violating the policy could be dealt with according to whatever rules are in place.I think you might be on to something. Oh sorry... I meant just plain "on something".
"Family Friendly" language on open forums is a BF policy/rule. If BF steps into the realm of policing off-site third party policies, where would it end? Should they monitor shipping procedure, Int'l customs restrictions? Perhaps every sold item should be drop-shipped to a BF moderator for inspection? Blade Forums will continue to moderate according to it's own user agreements including any perceived criminal/illegal activities conducted on the forum. Paypal payments are conducted through Paypal.... offsite.
Additionally, I didn't argue for anything beyond modifying the rules to not allow GIFT as a form of payment, so your assertion that additional policing or rules would be required or that such would happen is also ridiculous.
And lastly, people have said they would quit selling if they can't accept GIFTS as payment. There have been plenty of these threads in the past where that was said.
