I said it above, and I'll say it again. That is a ridiculous line of reasoning. CC is a violation of the Ts&Cs of virtually every program - whether or not there are GCs. GCs have no effect on that violation, other than making it perhaps more obvious to you for no objectively discernable reason.

Again, I cited an example above - but, more generally, why do you feel the need to restrict things that can easily be negotiated by the parties? No third party trades is already a theoretical rule of CC, but if I want to trade my certs to book a hotel night for my parents and let my trading partner know up front that that's the case, why should we be prevented from doing the trade?
Regulation is BAD. CC is in the spirit of the community - and in that spirit, let people work out what is mutually beneficial.
This process should make sure that everyone benefits from CC, not make overly stringent rules that eliminate its usefullness.
