gollark: There could be a reputation system too... but that would probably require comments... which would be messaging... stupid facebook.
gollark: You could still set up an IOU for 1000 CB Golds but then not actually *get* CB Golds.

gollark: Especially if instead of "***IOUs are not supported***" it's "the site helps with IOUs by enforcing transfer of stuff".
