So all this rule will do is make it so someone creates a new discord id, posts "WTT diamond historical SP for diamond historical SS, PST me".
And then what will OOTP mods do without knowing that a deal was made, who was involved or when it will be made x days later? They're going to know that a guy who put some random card on the AH for 15 minutes with a reasonable BIN price was breaking the rules? How exactly?
The only thing this rule does is either stop honest players or force shady players into the shadows. Fairness for all will not be achieved unless all auctions have the same rules.

It is not my problem to figure out how to police it, but the first thing I would do is start watching the people that defend doing it so strongly. It is also quite easy to start tracking all short auctions for repeat sellers and buyers. This would be a good place to start. I am not a programmer. but a civil engineer. So, I very well know the whole world works on mathematics. So, I would think it can be done fairly easily if the programmer can figure out the code.
The only question worth answering for yourself is, "Do I want to do this bad enough to risk banning?" Not saying that you are doing it just using the word you universally.
