It can't be stopped sadly. Even if the moderators tried to stop it. They would deal outside the forum. For example reddit and other sites which has Bitcoin discussion. Most accounts which are sold are used to scamming and the things you have listed. But, some are also sold to allow people to get out of newbie jail. Although, that isn't very hard at all. So, I just consider the person who is selling them as a untrustworthy person because he/she is actually encouraging scamming.

Multiple accounts and and account selling should never be allowed on forums where business is conducted. It's fine on entertainment forums and places like reddit, but it's just a horrible idea to allow this on forums where you are dealing with buying and selling of currency and goods . This opens the door for scammers, shill bidding, and fake service reviews.

Selling accounts is seen as a scammer thing. It encourages scammers to buy reputation.

Thats one colourfull signature you got dear, shame I don't like you selling accounts...

Why you said he scammer ? Because have many accounts ?

What I mean is the price for account are higher based on the date registered but not calculate based on their post or activity

No, you have it backwards.  With the new activity formula, having an account with a old register date doesn't matter if you've hardly used the account.  You'll show up with the same activity as someone that's new.

So the more important thing is the date account registered than the post account or activity of an account ?

still hate you

Yeah but if you just go to members and click "Date registered" to sort the list, satoshis account has always been showing up on the top before, now it doesn't.

You are making accounts showing up on the first page when sorting by registration date seem less cool


Edit: ehm where is satoshi, not showing up in that list?

Lol, how could this be even allowed? Although if people are buying it why no...

Haha! That's a bit strong don't you think? It seems quite out of character from the usually chirpy Milly Bitcoin happy-go-lucky 'advice'. I've copied this one from your website, it's good wholesome advice, more the kind of line you should be propagating rather than slandering the forum operators:

"Robbery Reported at Bitcoin Exchange Meetup

By Milly Bitcoin – June11, 2013

Many Bitcoin users have been promoting local meetups for Bitcoin exchanges.  The services work by connecting local Bitcoin buyers and sellers who can make exchanges face-to-face.  Of course anytime you meet strangers off the Internet to do cash transaction it is dangerous.  Bitcoin users are now starting to report issues with these meetups.

In this story (now mostly removed) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--174918 a user in Ireland claims the buyer was an undercover Police who suspected the user of dealing drugs.

Now a story out of Germany https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/robbery-in-germany-forum-member-tallos-tried-change-cash-to-btc-231970 where a users claims he was beaten and robbed trying to do an in-person transaction.

Bitcoin developer Mike Hearn has also reported a relative was defrauded by someone who agreed to pick up a laptop in person only to have the person exploit the Paypal dispute policy and obtain a refund.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mD4L7xDNCmA

Meeting strangers from the Internet to do cash transactions is a dangerous activity no matter how many people tell you they have done it successfully."

I don't see why you guys are making such a big deal about this.  It doesn't matter that these accounts are 1-3 years old.  They don't have any activity and as a result still look like brand new accounts.  The only difference between these accounts and an account that someone just created today is the registration date, and no one with any common sense pays attention to that anyway.

It's probably not even their main account, he/she could be anyone.

What a lot of garbage. My own account is very new and only a halfwit who doesn't know how to post or someone looking to scam people would want to buy these accounts. Credibility doesn't increase because the account is older, credibility is generated by what you say and the way you say it.

It may be legal, but it's certainly not warranted or wanted.

Why are they useless then?
With activity system, it does not change anything if you are old or not, if you were inactive.

No one will look the date

Just dropped in to say I hate you OP.

Get them cheap while you can, prices will be going up next week.

None of the accounts have any activity. As I said in the original post, all of the accounts have just a couple of posts.
