How to handle/investigate RMT in FC?

[314159265358979323846264338327]

We don't want our FC to associate with any RMT / botters/ cheats/ hacks.
- bad FC rep

Instead you'll be known as the witch hunt FC with the "guilty until proven innocent" approach who condemn members on a hunch.

.....witch hunt....

Thanks for bringing this up.
In our case, we were extremely careful not to engage
in any witch-hunting. We discovered our member, as a bot,
while enroute to do some spirit bonding. We know that there are
no in-game functions to allow an FC to do any audits.

Thanks.

In your case however you identified the player as a bot. It's a vastly different scenario from the original topic at hand, the suspicion of someone engaging in RMT to obtain gil.

Personally as an FC master I do not consider it my responsibility to police my own FC members, interrogate them if suspicions of illicit RMT activities arise or remove them out of my FC if in question. I am after all not an SE employee. The responsibility of curbing RMT activity as a player to me in this case reaches no further than anybody else here, don't engage in it yourself. As for what others do, that's SE's problem to battle in my opinion.
