This is going to be a FANTASTIC THREAD...
Let's get started with the super ironic...hehe I hope this thread is not just ironic posts "some" members made right??
CONTEXT SELLING ACCOUNTS... here we go..
The build up heheWow, lotta mass propaganda supporters in here.
The truth is, there's no good argument as to why this should be allowed. Just a bunch of greedy ones.
Fixed. I've still yet to see any proof of accounts being sold to be used for 'mass propganda'.
Who cares what the person is gonna do with the account? Whatever it is, it is BULLSHIT because they are pretending to be a different person. This makes them a
liar, an impostor, a bullshitter. And here you are a staff member defending this behavior.
You guys are
greedy beyond belief. What would Satoshi say if he read about this? I can't help but think he would say you destroyed the original intention of his forum and turned it into a
breeding ground for scum and villainy.
I think the main rationale and reasoning for allowing accounts to be sold is because allowing them lets others know that the practice can and does go on and banning them may give people a false sense of security, not to mention banning their sale will not stop the behaviour from happening and only push it further underground and into obscurity.
This forum also doesn't moderate or ban scammers, but that doesn't mean we allow or encourage them nor do we profit from it in any way from it.
Still, you are impersonating somebody unless you disclaim that you bought their account, which never happens. So buying accounts is a
100% dishonest manuver. Its never been used for an honest purpose because pretending to be somebody you are not is lying.
I dunno, while I appreciate your explanation, it still just seems that you are sticking up for criminals at the end of the day.
I really don't understand how you guys can live with yourselves knowing how many crimes are committed here on a daily basis. I certainly hope you don't actually believe you are contributing to some benevolent force in the world because you are not.
You're just telling thieves and scammers its OK to be a thief and scammer here. In the end it will decrease your revenue, not mine.
Maybe, but you need to include people from all countries, backgrounds, religions, political persuasions, etc. After taking all that into account and extracting a common denominator I bet that you'd have a pretty sparse definition of what "good" is.
The fact of the matter is account buying has
never been used for anything decent. The basic, underlying value of the account is the identity attached to it, which the purchaser is now assuming as his own, which is a crime in most countries.
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/impersonationSo morally from a global standpoint pretending to be somebody you are not is a bad thing because people don't like being fooled. Its a universal desire to not be fooled, aka lied to, and country or background has nothing to do with it.
I'm going to start a thread listing all the bought accounts I see trying to scam people and encourage others to add to the list since you guys don't seem the slightest bit interested in stopping this problem from happening.
I will start by monitoring the accounts currently for sale and follow what purposes they are used for and get back to you.
Monitoring is underway.
I'm collecting two lists, one of account sellers and the other of account buyers. I will be sure to post this information, links and dates so everybody can see who to avoid from now on.
It is commonly known that people buy and sell accounts. It is illogical to assume this.
Wrong. It is NOT commonly known, especially among noobs. I didn't know about it until a month ago or so, and then I couldn't believe that it was actively being endorsed by the mods.
Regardless of if this is true or not, it is very immature to give something more weight just because a certain person said it; you should listen to specific arguments and facts not who is making the statement.
? Do you understand that people trade based on the rep of the username alone all the time? Regardless of your feelings on the subject, people do this every day all the time. If Satoshi came on here and said something I sure as hell would give it a lot more weight than when you say something. Even if I disagreed with what he was saying.
In order to impersonate an identity, you would need to not own that identity in the first place. When you use the term impersonate you are implying that the identity does not belong to the poster, but in fact it does.
But this is obfuscated by the fact that most people don't know that they are reading the words of a bought account.
There is no honesty or redeemable qualities in your arguments, you're simply trying to defend borderline
evil behavior for your own selfish financial reasons. WAIT FOR IT GUYS...... WAIT...... YOU WILL NEVER GUESS....
OH GO ON THEN..haha
