    I think you're the one missing the point here, Kosmos. We in the Western world value our freedoms, all of them. Among the most fiercely protected of which is the internet. People've gone to some incredible lengths to keep the internet free of our mundane laws. And before you start bringing up the various hinky things that people have done online that wound up getting them incarcerated, understand that those police endeavors were done as part of efforts to collect tangible evidence before the arrests were made and not by independent organizations unrelated to police in any regard. ICANN is an independent organization that, while holding the keys to the IP domains vault, doesn't have any plans to ever infringe on the freedom of the internet. That would fly counter to what the internet is all about. Governments are not the same, hence the North Korea references.

    Now, Square is doing all it can to curtail the RMT problem, but they are trying to do so while not alienating their actual paying customers. They don't have very many pleasant options at their disposal, and they know full well that said options would be temporary nuisances to the RMT at best, potentially catastrophic inconveniences to their actual paying customers at worst. So the only non-damaging solution is to ban individual accounts as they are reported and remove the gil they're carrying from play. This is where we come in. Instead of knee-jerk blacklisting RMT and acting like they were never there we should instead endeavor to report them and THEN blacklist them and act like they were never there.
