Trying to buy/sell TF2 items ingame?
Cake Faice:
So the only reason why the person came to the game is just to buy/sell TF2 items? If so, then that's sorta...stupid. That will only encourage more people to turn stronghold into a trade fest where no one is actually playing the game.
Xrain:
No
1. All trades would operate on good faith (aka no direct way of transferring goods) this would automatically mean scamming.
2. It opens a Pandora's box of other things that we probably shouldn't get into.
If you really are keen on trading stuff like that do it out of game, the servers aren't a marketplace to trade your crap around in.
Think about it, even if 95% of the trades were legitimate, it would only take that 5% to spread a reputation that RND is full of thieves and scammers. Not the end of the world no, but not a risk that is worth the benefits.

I think this is probably the first time I'll have to disagree with you.
It's not like RND is going to become a trading server... if it got to the point that everyone came on the server to trade stuff, then we could start enforcing against it, but I really see no harm in it now. If people are foolish enough to trade on the server and get scammed, their faults. It doesn't really create much of a bad rep for RND... not unless the active ranked members are scamming. But anyhow, if there's one or two people trying to trade stuff, and not causing a big deal with it, then I see no problem. If anything, that will get them to play on the server more to earn cash and trade would it not?
Deacon:
We gain nothing from players playing more, especially not if we are harboring this kind of behavior inside of a normal TDM gamemode. I agree entirely with Xrain: Its just going to cause problems with the scammers AND the scammed.
Apie2:
Just let it be for a month or something and look how it's going to turn out.
