The reality check to the whole situation is how the deal goes down in private is always going to be decided by the seller and buyer. I have sold a few items in 22' and yes I present FF as an option to get a lower price for them and GS is just as welcome and I make sure they know it. Someone just tonight chose GS and it makes no difference to me simply because it is how things are now. You guys have no power during the sale and can only make decisions based on facts in the aftermath to prevent future problems and that is where the power stops. If you set a G&S policy in place and ban people by making the FF a taboo word or mark them like scarlett then you might as well take out the exchange all together and make this an information and education group.
It is up to the buyer to know what they are getting themselves into and if a seller is telling them they refuse G&S and its FF or nothing or want some direct deposit then they are the ones who are suppose to be smart enough to walk away from the deal if the energy is bad. Yes there are people who do not want to take responsibility for being ignorant enough to fall for scams and you will hear from them no matter what you do here. It is what moderators sign on for when they join the team on a forum.
Bottom line is your members here are going to know who to deal with and your mindless exchange junkies are going to always be a problem. Just step back and let the system work itself out and be alert to spotting shady sellers and then step in an take care of the problem. It's really all you can do and not run off all the good sellers in the process.
