Interesting you say that in exactly that way.
I don't see that happening for some people, however. What I am trying to say is that currently what you offer is just for those scammers to profit from, nothing more, and not for the community.
That's quite a shame and I would like to change that.
If you do not want to offer a hint of moderation, don't have moderators. Don't have unapproval sections. I don't want to babysit every single weirdo out there, I want the platform you offer to remain open and offer a freedom of information so people can make decisions. Right now server ops are nothing more like potential victims. They don't know what to look out for (as previously explained), how could they?

I'm against scamming people and drama.
People can sell what they want, however currently the buyer does not have the possibility to make an informed decision. If this was a corner-case, I wouldn't give a shit, but since a buttload of people are actually affected by this (and thousands of dollars are being made by single entities), a sense of responsibility kicks in.
The way it currently is is that people are being conned by those scammers. False reputation is being used, and an alliedmods account is considered as a certificate of trust.
With your account you would have no issues selling a bunch of shit to pretty much every community out there, make a bunch of money, and get server access either directly from the ops or by the means of backdoors (without and with source).
