I think the "outside" part is questionable, since the results of my findings may well impact the mechanics of the game itself (or, more likely, will just satisfy my curiosity ... but there's a chance it will affect the game).

But look, I hear your concern. One person says "hey I'll give 100k plat to the first person who donates $40 to my breast cancer charity", and it sounds ok so the staff allows it. Then the next person says "hey I'll give 100k plat to anyone who donates to my (100% fake) charity", and before you know it we've got RMT. The whole slippery slope thing is real.

But what I'm saying is, this isn't establishing a legal precedent that RMT is ok. This is human beings drawing a hard-line ("RMT" is ok if and only if the only beneficiary is the server/common knowledge). As long as they hold to that line, and are able to clearly tell whether an "RMT attempt" falls on one side of it or the other, then there's no slippery slope risk.
