Is it illegal to sell coups?

There is a coup service going on right now and people are charging real money. I want this site to be a community not a personal advertisement scum bag site. People should be doing that out of their kindness of their heart. [quote] censored*| The First Avenger | more Groups | Message Due to recent complaints about my company, TacoCoups Incouperated, I have made my own thread on the matter within the home of the script, Coup D Bungie. If you have any requests, questions, comments, or issues with TacoCoup Incouperated, please post them here. Thank you. Prices: Simple Coups, Coups that are just an Avatar and Titlebar, cost $10. Complex Coups, Coups that contain at least 2 background images, cost $15. Color decider, a new service that will give you the best colors for your coup, costs $5.

  • Why would it be illegal? The advertising is certainly against forum rules, but there's nothing wrong with charging for a service, I suppose.

  • I don't think we're quite on the same page here... when I say it's not illegal I mean it's not against the actual law. As in, he won't be paying the government a fine or having cops knock down his door. Whether it's [i] against the rules [/i] is probably up to the admin of the particular group (although the site rules might apply, but I personally doubt it).

  • Coup is not officially endorsed or even liked by Bungie. I really don't think they care. Also: [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] R3ACTlON Oh god my sides[/quote] [Edited on 06.10.2012 7:34 PM PDT]

  • We live in capitalist America. You can sell whatever you like, however Bnet's ToU prohibits you from arranging it on this site. I believe this counts as a violation, although censoring the username would be courteous.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] supertripon (although the site rules might apply, but I personally doubt it).[/quote][/quote]I don't mean to sound combative, but your statement could probably stand to be backed up. One person acting sure of himself isn't proof. (And I'm sorry that I can't communicate tone better via text, I mean no disrespect whatsoever.)

  • A. Private Groups B. Unless you can prove that money was exchanged you have no way to back up your claims. [url=http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb273/toshiromifunesletteropener/sillycolonel.jpg]Now stop this, this has become far too silly[/url]

  • That's a stupid ass question to an even more stupid idea....Coup is free, pictures are acquired from google...you come up with your own title....Why in hell the thought of a "coup market" was ever conceived is beyond me.

  • Two members were played by a simple joke in our group folks. The Coup selling service wasn't serious at all.
