L33t cannot upgrade Ub3rs - Muro - Mar 22, 2015
I'm sorry if this has been questioned before, but what is the point of this?
It's obvious that a L33t member can just send the funds to an Ub3r and he can upgrade it himself or have another Ub3r upgrading them, but why is the forum enforcing this policy? I'm rather confused.

I guess it's implemented because of the frauds.
"Can someone else pay for my upgrade?
Yes they can, but be aware if the payment is reversed or fraudulent, it can be your account that potentially be banned. Do not allow untrusted sources to buy you an upgrade. Be cautious and weary of those wanting to give you something for nothing. If you're upgraded and believe the payment to be fraudulent contact an admin."
And to make sure that doesn't happen, only people who're ub3rs (trusted, because they did have to get approved first) are able to gift ub3r upgrade to another member.
