It's amazing what a community can accomplish when we come together against a common enemy. It's time to look onto our next target...
I've created this post as a call to the community to begin applying negative trust to those who support buying/selling/farming of accounts.
Account farmers DIRECTLY contribute to the amount of spam, needless shitposting and ease of scamming here on the forums.
It's absolutely anti-social behavior and these people need to not be rewarded for making these forums look and read like SHIT.
Over 60% of the forums posting (from my experience) exists for the sole purpose of account or signature ad farming.
These people aren't here to converse about bitcoin nor do business, They are here to clog up the forums for profit.
In the forum rules it says account farming is frowned upon, I think we should start making this more apparent and start taking action against it.
Accounts should not be taken as collateral for loans, Period. Anyone taking accounts as collateral is directly contributing to destroying these forums.
I ask those on default trust to join me in combating what I can only call the blight which rots this forum, and start red tagging those selling accounts and those whom take accounts as collateral, or anyone else directly involved in the trading of accounts
Also, I would like to bring to the attention of the forums a known account farmer "knowhow" https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/knowhow-381554
This user "jokingly" bragged to have farmed nearly 1000 accounts, But he also edited the posts after I neg repped him. Shady as FUCK.
I'd like to bring to attention a PM he sent me after I stated I would not remove the negative trust I gave him after he admitted to account farming:
I dindnt edited anything you are insane the scammer here is you not me anyway it dont bother me at all your opinion and feedback worths nothing just is there because you have nothing to do my accounts are permanent banned ,anyway do whatever you wanna your account value is 0 mine is 0,17btc have a nice day.
If you look into this users posts it becomes clear he's the type of user that gives these forums and BTC it's bad name. I ask you look for yourself and give trust accordingly.I ask the members of the forum to band together to help me fight the degradation and exploitation of the forums, You can help clean up the forums.
