Thanks for all of your answers, I have understood them well.
Do not get me wrong, I've said I never bought an account, I asked with the desire to add experience in this forum

Tl;dr: If you're honest, there is absolutely no reason to buy a second account, let alone more.

Thank you for your answers and suggestions

give me your cryptos

Negative trust isn't the be all end all. It just means that a certain user doesn't trust you. I don't know why people are using trust as a basis as reputation. They are totally different things and can be abused all the same.

Buying accounts isn't against the rules, but some people believe that it's morally wrong and it leads to scamming. Therefore they can do whatever they want to say that they don't trust bought accounts. I think we can all agree that if your account is bought and you start using your rank or reputation as leverage, these things aren't representative of your real experience with bitcoin and the bitcointalk community.

Nothing is ever 100%. Sure, there could be some outstanding posters who bought accounts, but I don't know who they are. That's rare. Most common is the use of a bought account by some lazy third world scunt who only wants to shitpost or scam. Can't tell who's who ahead of time, so I neg 'em all. I have removed negs in the past when someone turned out to be OK--my ratings don't mean much anyway as I'm not on DT.

The amount of outstanding posters that are actually bought accounts is so low that it shouldn't even be considered if a rule change (which is badly needed) regarding account sales were to be considered.

Account dealing on bitcointalk promotes scamming, because you can buy an account with green trust and the victim would have no idea that the current owner of the account wasn't the one who earned the trust.

Account sales also encourage spam, because knuckleheads who can't write English buy accounts to get into sig campaigns.

And so on. So there are a number of us who feel strongly that it's untrustworthy behavior and leave feedback accordingly.

Although your points are correct in relation to a lot of bought accounts on this forum, they don't relate to every bought account. Some have great English skills and provide a good service. I think that we can all agree a newbie account with 1 post wouldn't be getting hired over a legendary member. Also, many people don't have the time to build up an account.

To add, the buying and selling of accounts is allowed on this forum. Even if it is looked down upon.

If you don't have time to invest in this community, then go somewhere else. Stop being self-entitled and spoiled brats. A simple rule change would solve most of this forum's problems, without killing its ad revenue.

Which is a fundamental flaw that is pushing genuine members away.

It's self explanatory on the rating:

Account sales encourage different types of shady behavior (scams, spam, account farming, et al.).

There is practically nothing good that can come out of this behavior as we've seen with scammers such as Quickseller. The forum policy is flawed for whatever reason.

Those doubting the validity of the assertion should look into bounty campaign abusers (most often sold/bought accounts that were farmed). Roll Eyes

What reason would you have to buy an account apart from buying reputation (essentially this is what you are doing), joining signature campaigns on multiple accounts - usually ends up with both posting bullshit, or scamming?

I've seen a lot of people get negative trusts for buying an account, I do not think this is a crime, but people getting caught buying accounts get negative trust, can you give a reason why purchased accounts earn negative trust?

Note: I just wanted to ask, and I never bought an account
