Why is it even considered a gray zone? I honestly don't know what good can come out of those transactions. Am I being too blind/narrow sighted? I would really love to have a moderator comment on this matter mainly due to the fact that, for me, there are numerous negative points of view:
I wouldn't know how to answer the question of why it was decided to be like that, but it's not something that was decided by the moderators - the main decisions are still made by the administrators - so they are the only ones who have the authority to give a concrete answer.
This is also something that it is not clear to me. There's a saying in my country that's something along the lines of - You are a thief when you steal something but you're also one if you're still watching over someone who is stealing. Do you think we should open a separate thread for this discussion @Lucius? Perhaps there's really something that we are not seeing in this subject because whether we like it or not, this has been in the so called "gray zone" since 2015 ...
Maybe just like many wonders why scam is not moderated on this forum? It is probably about giving everyone the freedom to do whatever they want, with the community then saying what they think about it through feedback and flags. As for the new thread, believe me there have been a lot of such discussions over the years - I honestly don’t think ordinary members like you and me can change anything here - and it’s more than obvious that decision makers think no change is needed.
