Do you realize how you just contradicted yourself?   

And this is exactly what op has done.


You sure about that. I remember you being caught and reported for farming a load of accounts in the 777 giveaway thread using bots a while back. Looking at them now many look to have negative feedback and have been shilling for crapcoin ICOs:

So, are you the scammer or are you just selling accounts to them? And no, it's not against the rules to sell accounts, but this is exactly why it's frowned upon.

I think it's totally justified to leave a negative trust it's been known for the accounts to be sold and then later use that reputation to scam. I think people selling accounts with positive trust are the ones to really look out for though.

I think that accounts that are sold should be locked. Building account rankings should not be a career choice.

The right term would be: discouraged.

Account sales are discouraged since it would lead to spam, degrade quality posts, used to scam, accoubt farming and others that I forgot to mention. That's the reason why they are painted red and not banned.

What you believe or what you agree on is irrelevant.

The fact is, someone who has power to affect your trust rating views account sales as untrustworthy, and acts on it.

I should mention the same thing is true if you participate in a ponzi.

Its not about being legal or illegal, but its a question of morals. Its morally wrong to sell something which can cause huge loss for the community later. Also that section was for other accounts not bitcointalk.org accounts. Majority of accounts sold are just for the purposes of spamming the forum through signature campaigns and the accounts sold with positive trusts are used for scamming people, its that simple. So i think people deserve the negative trust for doing something immoral.

Hello Everyone,

Searching for a clear response is buying or selling bitcointalk account illegal in this forum.

I'm not trading or anything but asking because theymos created this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hacked-invitesaccounts-are-not-allowed-1785577

and there's Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Goods > Digital goods > Invites & Accounts (For selling accounts)

Most of people in that board who tried to sell bitcointalk accounts get negative trust.

I know most part of them are scammers that's right, anyway my question still, Trading bitcointalk account is legal or illegal ?

If so, the ones who gave negative trust to those who try to trade accounts, are abusing trust system ?

I repeat again, this is a question for clearing to every bitcointalk users that trading their accounts is legal or illegal and do not concern mine in anyway!
