I would like to see stat's but I doubt many legendary accounts have been sold. I'm sure there are a few but it has to be a small amount.

Accounts on all levels are bought and sold.

Even a VIP, Tradefotress sold his VIP account to Quickseller a while back.

This user : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1199524.0;topicseen is obviously trying to scam very high amount of btc by buying Legendary that too with green trust. Shouldn't he be banned?

I don't think he will get a legendary account with this reputation, legendary accounts are already rare and for a scammer it seems like impossible

anyway left him neg trust and a post on his thread as a alert message for potential seller

No; I've learned that most account sellers really just want to make a profit and don't quite care where their product goes to. I'm generalizing; I'm sure there are many account sellers who do care about who their account is sold to.

a user who have legendary member understand its value and know how it can used to scam others
its like giving control of atom bomb to a monkey,

another thing is most of the account sellers selling low level accounts, a legendary account is not easy to find

I'm still hero but I can't imagine parting with account. It may seem odd but it's kinda part of me at this point I enjoy it. I would hate to loose it. Even if I got less active I still could not bring myself to ever sell.

And if you sold your account and it's used in a scam a good amount of people would think you were in on it. This is something I would not want either.

He'll be pretty disappointed when he founds out that a legendary account with green trust hands out the same trust as his current account since they both won't be on DT. I'd just let him waste a bunch of BTC.

Also, I don't think anybody with DT will sell his account to him. No need to worry about that.

Buying a legendary member with a +ve trust that is not on DT doesn't affect the trust ratings of a person. Also, I think that that certain user doesn't deserve a ban, because selling of accounts is allowed though discouraged in this forum

He just said that he wanted a legendary member account for the purpose of abusing the trust system. I think that's worth a ban, maybe. I'm not entirely sure what does and doesn't warrant a permanent ban (other than spamming).

No. I want to give a Neg Trust to people who let me trust whitout reason.

E prima di darmi dello scammer andate a leggere bene

They dont even understand how the trust system works. Buying a legendary with green trust does nothing towards your ratings. If anything they would need to buy an account that is on DT.

Terminated.

The issue of scammers is really complex. Theymos has a good reason for which he is not supportive of banning scammers. I doubt that a exclusion from the rule would be made in this case (or any). The best thing that you can do when you identify a scammer is either: A) Make a thread in the Scam Accusations subforum with evidence; B) Message someone in DefaultTrust with the same evidence.
This is how I deal with the issue when I see a 'probable' scammer.

I don't think there is anything to worry about right now , Legendary members usually are trusted and don't sell their accounts and even if they do , they always make sure they sell it to someone trusted .

Little bit off-topic : Didn't we have a scammer tag instead of coins on profile for scammers before ? I'am pretty sure I read it somewhere but can't find it anymore on this topic : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/forum-rankspositionsbadges-what-do-those-shiny-coins-under-my-name-mean-178608 . It would be good if it comes back once again .

Yes we did, but I believe theymos removed it because he had to do it all manually. There might have been another reason but I forgot, yeah it was a while ago.

Nope, not with the formal allowing of bought/sold accounts.
Until (if) the community decides they have had enough of these trades and starts leaving Negative feedback on those that buy and sell, it's a moot point.
