You sound like an anti-marijuana advocate. Sometimes the lesser beast is regulation.

And in the case of Platlord, we've seen that a 3rd party website is a very tangible way for people to conduct business on this server absent of the rules and regulations enforced through this site

This seems true for now, so the next best thing is (unfortunately, for people like OP) to allow it like it is now, risks and all. The more traded accounts that end up banned the better. Make it known that the evil that is character selling/buying does not come without great risk, and hopefully fewer people will do it.

Any action to make this practice safer is a step in the wrong direction.
