Both full member accounts looks suspicious, they are spamming and asking for questions about signature size and how to add avatar and etc. 
And found this post by one of these users:
In two - three weeks i will have to sell nice bunch of accounts for half price.. get in contact with me if you are so sure Wink C'a later Cheesy

Thank you, but i currently don't do this thread anymore. However if you wish to manage such a list, feel free to use the BBCODE of this thread for that purpose.

Here is an account seller!

Looks worthwhile to tag him, he made the mistake of selling this account on a senior member account. If you look at his past posts he is also selling hero and full member accounts in bulk. They are probably hacked.

Also the account has email and password changed recently, so it may also be hacked/sold.

Just listing a potentially bought account.
Although the account woke up from sleep since 2016,I'm listing them here since they're started to show tendencies of a scammer during their first few posts.Also,I've strange feeling they're connected to Engg.Chakks.No connected address found as for now but anyway I'm putting them here for reference.

(signature says "I love my America" while it is a Pakistani account )

Thanks for the recommendation, what signature do you mean by the way?
I see his signature as KickICO as signature, and nothing of "I love my America".
On my eyes this looks pretty suspicious, so im still thinking if i should add them to the list or not because they don't have a staked address either.

if he give no message is that no proof account is hacked
It depends. There were cases in which the user was not able to provide a signed message for a certain amount of period. This can happen (speaking out of experience). However, if the user:
1) Outright rejects providing a signed message.
2) Has shown no intent of providing it when asked (i.e. ignores it).
then he/she is highly likely to be compromised and I'd say this alone warrants a negative rating.

why u no add this man?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/wizardee-407977

he is obvious bought account and want scam people
Obvious != proof.

he didnt give signed message
Is he is refusing to do so, then he is unable to do so (thus likely sold indeed).

I WILL STOP ACCOUNT SALES!!!
The only way which might stop the majority of account sales is if you convince theymos to make them against the rules.

Why would i need to? As said, i only add non-tagged accounts to the list that are bought or hacked. There is no need to add accounts that are already tagged, because the point of this list is letting members know which accounts are risky to deal with.

Interesting. That account used to shill for potential Bitcoin forks. The email change is still visible.

no local posts before.
Creating reports of this type is somewhat useless. A gap in the post history does not necessarily mean that the account has been hacked or sold. Circumstantial evidence at best (even though past data would tell us that it is almost surely a positive hit given the size of the gap).

Thanks alot for your reply Lauda!
You're welcome.

I took your advice, and will only add accounts that suddenly start posting on local boards that has never been used before.
Do you consider personally that being enough proof for a sold/hacked account?
No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you should look for contradictions in a user's behavioral pattern. For example:
Let's say the user has been posing in the Turkish Local board (among other sections). The account changes password and/or email. The account now posts in the Indonesian local board (among other sections). This is a clear contradiction in an user's behavior, and makes it very likely that it has been sold (if not certain).

Seems like most accounts on that have been potentially sold/hacked, start posting on turkish local boards.
I'll add Haveibeenpwned just incase to the OP, so if people see this thread, they can see if their accounts are potentially in danger.
There are a lot of cheaters, sold accounts and whatnot that need tagging. The reason for which I always ask for good formatting is because it saves time. There's already a backlog for me as is.

If you want someone to reasonably tag these, then you need more than very circumstantial proof. I mean, I could attempt to analyze the behavioral pattern of each of these users and then make a (personal) conclusion as to whether they should be tagged or not. However, this would take up too much time / would not be worth the effort. Therefore, I suggest that you try finding better proof (e.g. changes in the local boards that the user posts). Additionally, I suggest that you better format the list and avoid using fonts that are very large.

Im still a starter on this type of thing, and i appreciate every tip that is given to me.

Edit: And by posting on local boards, i mean account that woke up from a long period of inactivity (1-5 years or so on) and has made alot of posts on local boards recently that account has never been used to post on. Many of the accounts listed have only been used on the english boards before inactivity.
