It is not strictly unethical as the rationale can be quite sound - one friend helping another. It's just unfair to most. I don't think TUG admin should be blamed for allowing the thread to continue. Who are they to judge what is and isn't against RCI rules or unethical when even RCI as yet does not have a rule against it. As far as RCI is concerned, they don't care how they make money for the week, as long as they do, since these weeks are such short notice.
I know that RCI encourages timesharers to gift weeks to friends, hence gift certificates. There would only be a fine distinction between personal friends and internet acquaintances.
I personally don't like the practice of holding lots of good weeks in case some one on an internet message board might want them. I'm all for holding a week in case a close friend who one knows is after a nice holiday might want it.
