Yes! I feel that this statment should be repeated to make sure everyone see's it. I am glad TPU finally made the "no gift payment" rule. I was sending gift payments all the time before I found out about this small loophole. Most other forums already have this rule because it has caused problems for others. I want to say thank you to the mods here at TPU for making the FS section that much safer for all of us.
