I haven't seen any offer you are describing here on bitcointalk. Can you post link to some examples?

Selling a compromised account that doesn't belong to you is *fraud*. I am extremely shocked that anyone involved in running this forum might condone such an activity....

Could members please respond to this thread with direct feedback supporting or objecting to sales of hacked/compromised/unauthorized accounts. Unfortunately, Theymos is not persuaded to act on just poll results alone despite this appearing to be a fairly black and white issue especially when it comes to hacked accounts being sold.

I've started this thread to bring attention to a growing problem here on bitcointalk.org. Board members here are engaging in sales of hacked, compromised or unauthorized transfers of accounts for other websites. While marketplace rules don't explicitly prohibit this behavior, I believe that many board members would consider these acts objectionable and disturbing. These sellers in turn are donating proceeds of their sales of compromised accounts back to bitcointalk.org. If a user on another board was selling large numbers of bitcointalk.org accounts without the express permission of Theymos, i think admins here would be pretty steamed.
My personal feeling is that tolerating this behavior will only encourage more of these users to permeate these forums. Bitcoin and bitcointalk are trying to build a reputation, but these sorts of transactions when tolerated or approved reduce reputation of the site and currency as a whole. I hope that others feel the same way about this issue and will voice their objections in this thread.
It would be nice to have an informal poll about whether users here support or object the sales of hacked/compromised accounts.
Yes, I support sales of hacked/compromised/unauthorized transfer of accounts
No, I object to these sales.
+1 No
