don't deal with reversible method of payment from members, more than what their account costs.

How do I know the price of the account with which I am dealing rather how is the worth measured of any account?
Whats the worth of let's say your & my account(s) ?

Make your own estimate, but as for me I'd estimate mine at somewhere around 0.5 but you should only deal with 70-80% the worth of account. Yours, somewhere at 0.02
It depends on trust and rank and sometimes, the devotion you have shown to the forum

No wonder why so many scams happen on this forum.
-snip-

No, thats because its the users who blindly believe anything without doing research of their own.

1. No rules to access Market Place.

Accounts are sold, and once in a while a "legit" newbie does come up.

Quote from: sardasa on December 23, 2015, 05:53:23 PM

2. No credibility of the account. Anyone can sell their account & other user can scam & run away.

Thats why its you who should be using your brain.

3. Scam section is not moderated.

Wait what? Why would you want to moderate that?

Quote from: sardasa on December 23, 2015, 05:53:23 PM

4. Scammers/Alts are not banned.

It creates a false sense of security "Well scammers are banned, so this user should be "legit"". You have heard about TOR and proxies right?
Anyway, I know you're going to be annoyed by my comment, so
Peace out!

Even if we disallowed account sales, there is no way of preventing them. People could do it on another website. Scam are not moderated because it would be hard for each moderator to decide what is and what isn't truly a scam.

Change is style of writing: What if I am not even aware about his real style of writing?

Have a look at their last posts, if you see a change in their post style it should be enough to warn you.

Is it suggested to ask user to point the BTC address which they posted on the day they joined this forum before making any deal with them?

That, unfortunately doesn't work. Even private keys of staked addresses are sold these days, but asking for a custom signed message(which should be replied fast enough, in an hour I'd say) is another layer of security to know its not sold. But considering the fact that most scammers are just looking for a quick buck, use your common sense and don't deal with reversible method of payment from members, more than what their account costs.

Is it not possible for the new account user to commit a big scam during this transit period?

Anything is possible with the right person. However, as I've said there are a few people that really pay attention to these things.

1st thing that'd tip you off is a changed password, but the "Warning" is only showed for a month
2nd thing, a change in style of writing
3rd , change in use of address.

And many more, you are asking this for "Educational purposes" right?

Yes, it's for educational purposes only. Its more to protect myself from such account users as I am into the riskiest trade possible using bitcoin.

If the person behind the account has not posted an address or something that can be related to them, then it might be pretty hard to tell. However, most of these accounts get recognized after a while.

Accounts can be bought/sold here.
Imagine a situation where xyz sells his account to someone then is it possible to recognize that the person behind the account is real xyz or the one who bought it?

Important point to note here is xyz has got fairly good trust score. So, the new person can even misuse the account.
