Disagree on restrictions. Prefer stronger guidance to encourage due diligence - clear marking and advice on the threads preferably automatic also ways to discern escrow safety

As selling accounts is not forbidden, I'm afraid it would just help the oldest accounts value skyrocketting, along with the temptation to sell them.
Remember everyone has his breaking (sale) point.
If you can pull a 1000+BTC scam using a BTC 150 account, all good for you.
I really don't like this idea, sorry.
I'd rather have them forced into using escrow.
Funds being sent to escrow, and final order performed by said escrow.

Users should be paying attention to who they give their money to instead of assuming anyone who can make a post is trustworthy. There should probably be a sticky about the scams occurring in that section, and maybe they can add the red warning text to the group buy threads also.

Wow 300BTC
The problem is always the same. An old member is not always more trustworthy than a newbie.
I tend to agree with this proposal though because I don't understand how people can throw 300BTC at a newbie, but I don't think it will be applied.

Well yeah but it can stop some scam at least.
Or it can be like
Newbies/Members/Full members/Senior members = Escrow Mandatory.
I mean allow them to make a group buy with escrow.
