Who else thinks that there should be an official IGB to TBT conversion rate

I honestly don't think there needs to be a conversion rate. It's easy enough to earn bells in-game as long as you're willing to take the time to do it, and it's easy enough to earn tbt as long as you're willing to take the time to post. Buying either is a shortcut, not a necessity, so if the prices aren't your cup of tea just don't partake.
Regulation would be a huge headache for the mods, with people getting around it by negotiating prices over PM and off-forum if they had to in order to get an agreeable price.
Also I really don't see the huge deal with hacking and duping? I mean. The forum's within their rights to say that you're not allowed to promote hacking/duping, or buy/sell hacked/duped items, or talk about how to do it, etc. But it's an off-game site, they don't have the right to declare that a user CANNOT hack his or her game. What would you do, go to someone's dream address, say that because they have a PWP in an impossible place they're banned from the forum? It's ridiculous. Likewise impossible to determine whether items are hacked or duped unless the user admits to it, as long as someone says "Oh I got this Japan only DLC from my seventeen friends who live in Japan", you can't prove it's not true even if you don't believe it. So why does everybody get so up in arms about the mods not "doing anything" about hacking? Wth do you expect to be done?

The value of TBT fluctuates, right?
I don't think the rate btwn igb and tbt has ever gone down
When we were complaining about the rate being 1mil to 100 forum bells, little did we know it'd go to 20mil now. We also tried to regulate the rate without mods but just btwn the sellers and it lasted for 2 days? before someone came and offered more. It's just not practical or possible.
I understood why people were going crazy about buying forum bells back then, that's because people were selling gift cards, download codes, steam games, etc. for forum bells. But most of that is banned now, so I'm not even sure what people want forum bells for besides collectibles and art?
I'm kind of interested what would happen if TBT just banned the exchange of igb and forum bells...

Okay, I get the point of this thread, however a real issue isn't if it's being enforced, it's if people will agree to the rate.
And if no one can agree on a simple estimation rate, then it would be pointless to enforce it.
If, for a bad example:
4/5 people are willing to be like "50tbt ~ 5,000igb" or something, then that should be it, people will be happy to have at least a rough estimate for pricing, and those who disagree can figure out some way else.
but if only 1/5 people agree to "50tbt ~ 500igb" and it gets enforced, no one wants to deal with that.
So as nice as it is to debate if it would be enforced, what would be the stipulation for the enforcement?
Or are we just going to let the mods/admin decide the rate(s)?

I see a lot of people thinking that I think we should enforce a rate. That's not what I mean at all.
Let's say the rate is (this is just an example!!!) 1m IGB to 100 tbt. Would you go to someone who wants 4M for 100 tbt? OR someone who wanted 1m for 100 tbt?

Person A: Buying 100TBT for 4Mil
Person B: Buying 100TBT for 1Mil
I think 99% of people would pick person A.
I meant
Person A- I will give you 100 tbt if you give me 4m igb!
Person B- I will you 100 tbt if you give me 1m igb!

I mean I covered this here: http://www.belltreeforums.com/showthread.php?344159-A-Word-On-TBT-To-IGB-Rates
We've never needed an 'official conversion rate' before and we've already been through 2 games. Why do we SUDDENLY need one now? Some people do 4mil for 100tbt, some do it for about 10tbt. Just go hunting and if you wanna offer (x) amount of TBT bells just post it up.
Plus how on gods green earth do you regulate something which is HALF OFFSITE? This would basically mean mods would have to approve every goddamn trade that goes through. This is the problem we've these ideas. You guys (probably) haven't had to manage your own forums or games with these sorts of things in place, I personally have and trying to enforce these sorts of rules with no way to moderate them legitimately is not even worth it.
(ADDITIONAL: BAsically we had a forum with a currency and a server with different currency for SAMP, then people began trading IG money, Cars and property using it, then began calling for us to regulate it but this then led to our entire SEVERAL THOUSAND player server dying as we simply couldn't keep up)
Mods time is purely voluntry and they have enough trouble as is, we shouldn't pile on "more work" for something that, by the time it's done, there'll be a new AC game.
Plus people can just exploit to get bells and how the HELL are you going to know? I could've made the max bells via Turnips, or grinding. It's viable and I've seen it done by many people on these forums. So those who have the time (or luck) would make a killing in TBT bells whilst those who can't would basically be left without. See the issue?

Unfortunately most people trading are spending IGB to make TBT, not a lot of people sell TBT for IGB
