If you are willing to spend some of your time to leave a negative trust rating on those account buyers and account sellers who are dealing on threads started on the Chinese local board, I would be glad to provide you on the translation of their conversations, if you are unsure about their conversations on account dealing threads written in Chinese, just write me a pm, and I will provide you with the proper translation.

DT members can't do a lot other than to tag the seller account, who doesn't care himself since the account won't be used for something else than selling. And I see from time to time members red tagged but yet participating in a signature campaign. (Making me think that the campaign in the altcoins section accepts such account to participate?) so the buyer would care less..)

With it not being against the rules; not much can be done unfortunately.
I might be mistaken but dont we have a few active Russians here in meta? I seem to recall a few things from the Russian board being brought here. Edit: only mention this board ad it seems to be the worst, but active locals from any board could do the same.
Maybe we can ask them to flag these account traders on this thread and DT can do what they do best... paint an untrustworthy account red.
That or get theymos to update the rule. I don't see this happening as it would be a rule that infringes on what someone can do with their "property".

Russian board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=236.0
It is absolutely flooded with account traders. This has become normalized.
Turkish board: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=155.0
This is slightly less account-oriented than the Russian board but is still widespread.
I'm not sure how it is in the other Local boards (briefly checked Chinese and French, and there weren't a lot) but this kind of open trading just shows how ingrained the account trading business is in the boards. Not trying to target the countries at all but this seems like a case of isolated ignorance due to the board having a consensus that "account trading is not against the rules" and the fact that few DT members will ever enter the boards. Something something confirmation bias, I assume.
Thoughts?
