As myself being a part of MS for a bit, I really don't like the fact you guys have done this.
Especially if this also limits USD trading and stuff on the market forum. The market is already decreasing in activity, as well as the forum and just adding this rule seems like it is only going to decrease the activity even more.
It just seems like you guys are lazy or don't want to deal with things/scams that come out of trades like this. (or nabi is tired of having to refund/spawn lost TC due to scams, but could be avoided for the most part with different policies in place)
With this new rule, it makes it somewhat easier for scammers to get away with scamming as when they make a report for trying to buy say CS:GO skins, or Steam Codes or USD (if USD is apart of this) you guys just tell them you don't support those types of trades.
It's really ridiculous and is one of the reasons why I left because I felt like there wasn't enough power given to us to stop people from just coming back and scamming. There also wasn't an active lead to do much either, and don't blame phail for that he just had a lot going on. I blame the people that appointed him, and then appointed another "dead" Smod/Msquad as new lead. Really just makes me shake my head.
Having trusted MSquad members, or Smods act as middlemen for trades that deal with items/currency outside of Toribash is really the best way to stop people from getting scammed and would limit the amount of TC spawned by nabi to cover scams as the staff would have the TC safe until the trade is complete and with proof from both sides. Yet higher ups never pushed it after we discussed it and planned it for months, however argued against it slightly.
Somewhat TL: DR
Instead of taking away something from the community due to scams, make policies that will limit the scams to ensure that users are getting what they pay for. Basically, don't make people who do the right thing suffer because others choose to do the wrong things and continue to do them because there are no policies in place to stop them from doing those wrong things.
get your shit together pls
