OP got a point here in my own perspective because when was the time of giving a red trust to those forum members that are selling their spare, extra, alt accounts started?
I'm not sure. Probably when spammers and scammers started taking it to such an enormous level which made the situation of account sellings uncontrollable?
Obviously spammers and scammers are one of the reason but it's mainly for account farming that abuses most of the Signature Campaigns because when you have a high ranking account you can enjoy also the high pay outs.
It's still considered buying and selling of an account even if he got it from collateral, you are reliable with it once you own it.
I am neutral on this topic and want to get concrete answers from DT members or Mods., this top is so interesting though.
It is, but that isn't against the rules? DT members are free to choose who they tag, and who they don't. ( it doesn't even have to be against the rules, ( exempli gratia is scamming, which isn't against forum rules)).
If we look the
Forum Rules that posted by
mprep(Global Moderator)
it is clearly stated in #18 rules that 'Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.'
I have never seen a forum member that got negative trust from mprep in selling their accounts though, only DT forum members.
And in his FAQ he said that:
Q: I saw a guy selling Bitcointalk accounts. Why is that allowed?[/b]
A: Since we can't effectively prevent these sales (proxies, TOR, sales in other forums), we don't because otherwise we would be giving the users a false sense of security.
If only he said that 'A: Since we can't effectively prevent these sales (proxies, TOR, sales in other forums), we don't because otherwise we would be giving the users a false sense of security
instead you can put
negative trust on those people who are involve. '
you are reliable with it once you own it.
I don't see anything wrong with a lender selling defaulted accounts. What else should he do with them? Give them away for free?
Also you're acting as if he is responsible to what happens with the account after he sold it, which is the equivalent of holding an arms dealer responsible to what happens with the gun he sold to someone who commited a crime with it. It seems a bit far-fetched to me.
I'm not saying i condone what he did at the time ( as i probably wouldn't have done the same), but i could see why he did it, and i don't think there was any malicious intent. ( abusing campaigns/farming these accounts..).
It seems you are overacting in the comparison with this statement though. It's just simply this, if they are against with that kind of act then why they would do it, do they have any sort of immunity from others?(the tagged
forum member is not a DT member but a trusted one)
