Amen, brother.
People need to properly label stuff, wild-type or hybrid!
And if you don't know, label it as such...

Yes. This is a serious issue. It is immoral and bad for the hobby and should not be tolerated. Other fish clubs that I have seen will ban members from future auctions if they repeatedly bring bags not appropriately marked as hybrids.
If you have fish breeding in a mixed tank, you need to be certain that fish of the same species are the ones breeding. While the appearance of the fry is not always a 100% indicator, I have seen a couple of lots of pretty obvious hybrids in the auction lately. If the female spits fry that are the wrong color/melanin pattern/body shape/are OB (and shouldn't be), they are hybrids. Pretty simple.
If in doubt, mark them as hybrids. All is not lost and your fish will breed again, I promise.
You can still bring them to auction and folks will most likely still purchase them, but they need to be marked properly.
