Purchasing and using an account that you didn't grow yourself is, in fact, deceiving those running the campaign.
Well yes you are right but for a fact, I have seen so many people buying and selling accounts here for a way of earning, and with my stay here in the forum, I also encountered people who are actually making a living out of signature campaign so I have to think o not only the negativity on why accounts are being sold around but also see the reason wh they are doing these. It's actually common on my local subforum here that you can see them talking about these things.
In your example he buys an account to 'earn a spot on bitmixer' which, according to you sounds perfectly reasonable, yes?
Except for the fact that every single post he subsequently makes, which will bear more weight because he is a Hero member, will sway users into both believing that the content of the post is likely to be the work of somebody who is greatly experienced within the cryptosphere AND that the signature advert is, therefore, chosen to be worn by the long-standing member of experience because he is wise enough to know it to be a legitimate and trustworthy service. Fact is the person behind that account could be a no-mark idiot who has no fucking clue what he's doing and ends up leading a whole bunch of newbie-lemmings over a cliff, figuratively-speaking.
Which part of that setup sounds honest?
I am not saying that buying and selling accounts for signature campaigning purpose is honest, okay? I get it. You are not in favor of this actions but I was only being logical into thinking that they may have a reason why they are doing such. It may be not in your favor but maybe it is to them. I don't see any harm if the account will be simply used in earning some coins, the guy behind the account must have a great need. As I have seen I know people from my local people who are buying high ranked accounts mainly for a better rte on signature campaigns. It may be frowned upon by some users but give them a break, as for me I will only quetion these people if they actually did something wrong that is against the forum rules. My point is why won't you guys try to assume a scenario without evwn thinking of all the possibilities.
