TMO's stance is that is that anyone caught selling is summarily booted. Buyers are generally caught long after the fact.
In the latter case, for a number of reasons, the policy has become a second offense (buying after a warning) will equate to a boot. Further, at no point will the guild advocate on a person's behalf with the GMs if they are caught buying. The reasoning behind this is that if they're going to risk their own cash on this, losing the money and the character is enough punishment.
Some flat out didn't care, others felt no action should be taken against the person whatsoever, and others still wanted a RL witch hunt. In the end, it settled down to this.
To say that TMO encourages RMT is untrue. In the end, we settled on that. There is no moral culpability in RMTing. It is bad form and the leadership feels this policy is adequate and appropriate.
I tend to concur.
