So I recently noticed that when going to someone else's Bell count, there are two options: Transfer and Redeem. That got me thinking; this could be easily abused like a lot of other forum features, notably the Redeem option. With that, I could easily take Bells from, say, Justin. That is if I wanted to get banned. Please don't take that seriously, it's only an example.
I know there hasn't been much done with this because very few incidents relating to it have been notably reported. Still though, I believe that it should be a tool to only remain administrative so as to keep normal members such as myself from abusing this.

This actually isn't true though. The redeem feature is used for redeeming codes that pretty much only show up, if at all, during forum events. Admins/mods are the only people that can manually adjust your TBT so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
 
yeah, redeem doesn't equate to take. otherwise people would've surely abused by now, and gotten it removed. I mean they've abused literally every other thing they could think of to for TBT gain, so...
