gollark: You could still set up an IOU for 1000 CB Golds but then not actually *get* CB Golds.
gollark: I mean, *partially*.
gollark: Especially if instead of "***IOUs are not supported***" it's "the site helps with IOUs by enforcing transfer of stuff".
gollark: You may be in the minority. People who just join without seeing the forums and see "hey, I can trade for an IOU" may not think that.
gollark: Also, that it being a site feature will legitimize it and make it seem more trustable even if it's not particularly.
