spoon-business: rfj: transferability of points


I request judgement on the following statement:
If a rule states certain conditions under which points should be
transfered, and those conditions are met, then those points should be
transfered without any action by the current owner of the points.


Analysis:
-----Rule 121/3 : Score  is quoted here:
Associated with each agent is a scalar quantity known as eir score. An
agent's score is a representation of the number of point objects owned by
em.
The owner of one or more points may transfer any or all points in eir
posession to another legal owner by posting to the public forum.
If the rules call for the Administrator to credit a player with a certain
number of points then e shall order the transfer of those points from the
Bank to that player.
If the rules call for the Administrator to debit a player a certain number
of points then e shall order that player to transfer the required points
to the Bank.
-----

This rule does not explicitly state that this is the only way to transfer
points, and I want a definitive ruling.
A TRUE ruling on this would mean that e.g. points exchanged for similarity
challenges would be transfered without each player having to post a
message indicating so.
