a) No anonymous submission will be accepted without name of both the seller and buyer.
c) Every trade should have a screenshot proof with 2nd trade accepted with ingame date and clock.

What do you propose gats? as an alternative.

I feel like this is more of a community based decision rather than a jagex decision. We already know what their stance is on trading over max cash since it's been so many years and they haven't bothered to do anything.
It would be nice if some of these suggestions were implemented, but none of them will be enforced.
If players arent allowed to post others' prices, pricing fc are dead for the forums, meaning everything will go to discord. I don't care either way, just mentioning the result.
These rules might be good for discontinued items, but I think they're bad for tokens and gear.
I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity.

Would you rather have Hearsay and speculation and pyramid scheme manipulations of FCs or rare but genuine reports of actual players trading?
I see your point, but I feel no empathy for the FCs, in the context of this issue.

I obviously like the pricing FC. I think they're a useful source of prices when none are available.
R Quark worked very well, when rares traded in the ge and there were only a few items anyone flipped. That era is over with. So, pricing fc do not work nearly as well as they did in the past.
I don't use discord. I fear I'll get hacked. I like using runescape services and having everything in the open, everything through runescape. If pricing fc thread posts are removed, then I'll just have less information to work with. Not a big deal though.

The way I always traded, when there were more forum posts to use, was to rely on people I trusted. If a random posted a phat trade, I doubted it.
Time stamps etc. would certainly improve the reliability of posts, but cheaters are still going to cheat. People would find a way to fake it. And then you have people like me who don't even know how to post a time stamp. I just wouldn't post, at least until someone explained how to post.
A major problem right now is: A complete lack of reported prices.

It took me about a month to become familiar with posting a screenie. Many post prices without understanding how to correctly post their image. It's a simple thing, but when you're busy and not trading that much, there's a learning curve.
If you create any requirement, that's going to exclude some people.
I know some with rares who could buy a phat, if only they understood how to trade shards. They can't do shards, so it's possible they will never own a phat.
At the polls each election year, there are a large number who can barely figure how to vote. You don't expect your cat to post a screenie. Humans just aren't much more capable.

I see your point but I am not stating FCs be closed.
My point is -
1 ) Stop monopolisation of price checks, since most current Price check threads advertise FC in their signature and their advertising on actual Price check threads is very dubious
2) Ban pyramid scheme FC owners.

how is a FC to record its prices? If I write down each price report for an hour, then log out. Who gets my prices? They're lost.
And then someone logs in asking for a price. No prices.
There needs to be some place in runescape for an fc to record its prices. You know full well that no matter where on this website such a list is sent, most people will go there for prices. Because it's a better source of info.
And if such lists are banned from rs, then people will go to discord - where they will be hacked.

Why does a FC need to record prices in silos? why am I to trust it?
I am asking for a transparent system that can work off a forum thread.
You wouldn't need a list when you have compilation of all trades that are more legitimately sourced from within that thread.
I have never heard of anyone being hacked from discord.
I think you are underestimating people's intelligence by thinking-
a) Without lists they cannot make informed choices about prices even though they can see posts of actual trades
b) Anyone who uses discord can be hacked.
