its most likely for signature campaign. with link on signature space, its what SEO's call "backlinks"

anyhow, selling account is a shady thing

it is not really most likely for sig campaigns.

This is most likely to buy trusted account and make a scam.... believe me..

Sig campaigns too ... but.

If we could see a percentage of what bought accounts were used for in the last year, it'll probably be 60/40, with 60% being used for some sort of scamming. We could try and prevent it, but the trades would just move off-site. Also, much more bought accounts nowadays are used for sig campaigns due to the member group restrictions on signatures and overall increased payment to sig campaign participants.

Selling Account is for Scam purposes . that's what i see here.

You are correct..

I agree and I very don't like to see people selling their accounts!

And I am not talking about "member" accounts but full/sr/and hero....

A starterpack for scammers ...

I think it's a bit silly. Kind of like how you wouldn't sell your passport or your drivers' license or your college diploma or even your Facebook account. A forum account complete with username, post history, etc. is sort of like the online equivalent of those. It's almost like (well actually, it's exactly like) taking over a strangers' online identity. Undecided

Very likely. Another possible use maybe is for sig campaign.

I don't understand: if selling accounts is allowed why tysat gave Subud! negative feedback for selling accounts?
Is Subud! selling stolen accounts?

its right to give negative rating for subud its illegal to sell accounts

tysat is acting on its emotion not based on forum rules.

There are no rules for trust. If there was a way to leave neutral feedback I would do that instead, but there's not. Selling accounts is a somewhat shady activity, in my eyes, and I want to have a record of who is doing it.

Accounts can be sold so people can use the reputation to defraud people. Since this forum is run as a criminal operation rather than a legitimate business this practice is allowed since no legitimate business would allow such a thing.

Milly, did you delete a bunch of your posts?

you guys are giving me buissiness ideas:

"newbie unlocking service" Tongue

and indeed, "special account names" Wink

As long as you dont trade between your own "main" account and the newly created accounts, I dont see any harm and maybe you can earn a few mBTC Wink

All of them have already been done I think. If not then I would be surprised.

All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again.

It's like groundhog day. People thinking they have created something new but have really been influenced by old ideas.

Is forum registrations still disabled? If that's the case there could be demand for accounts right now.
