Perhaps you wrote highly of the disadvantages of buying a Bitcointalk account which equally means that it's advantage would probably be high too but I'm my opinion there is no advantage to buying an account that has been there for long mean while you can skip the limitations on a brand new account by purchasing the copper membership.
I don't see any reason why someone would want to buy an account in this forum except for cheating or selfish reasons that are probably going to be scams.
Topic: Don’t Buy Bitcointalk Account as a Newbie - page 4. (Read 698 times)
The forum is open to all as much as Bitcoin itself is open to all but there are some things that shouldn’t be done.
Buying an account as a newbie is like jumping high school to go to college ( you’ll just be floating)
Some of the effects of buying an account includes;
1. No Proper Knowledge:
A while back there was this post where a hero member was asking a question about merits which he isn’t supposed to, his question just exposed him and proved that he didn’t grow that account. In his defence he said he’s been away for a long time but no matter how long, if you’re truly the owner who got to Hero member level you won’t forget how the merit system works.
You miss the learning process, where you gather all confidence, Rules and regulations, experiences, a whole lot.
2. You Risk Loosing the Account:
Plagiarism which is a big offense in any write up, dissertation, Projects and publishing is also not acceptable here in the forum. The previous owner might have done one or two offenses in his/her early stages which you’re not aware of and this might cost you in the long run.
3. Reputation/Scam:
Depending on the level of account you purchased, I think You might not be able to keep up with the reputation of the person cos no two minds are alike.
Some people can even use it to scam other individuals, based on the reputation of the previous owner.
4. Making Low quality posts:
The experience and creativity garnered during the growing process will be lacking. Sometimes you see some posts from high level members looking weak and poor, due to laziness to properly research.
I think there are so many other Reasons why you shouldn’t buy an account but this is just as I’ve known.
It’s not advisable as a newbie to buy an account.
You can add other general disadvantages that concerns everyone.
