I believe someone with a bought full member account just scammed me $600 Paypal. I'm so sad at the moment. Stop this movement!

Better that it's out in the open where newbies can clearly see what is going on, rather than hidden somewhere off-site. Use your sense when considering trading with others. Use established escrow to reduce the likelihood of being scammed. Certainly don't trust someone because they have a certain rank or post count (why this would make someone more trustworthy is beyond me anyway).


People who are really against this would do better to spend their time posting warnings in the newbie sub-forum rather than trying to stop it. Education > censorship.

This is a real warning and a helpful tip as regards to fake scums buying full member, snr. member accts tand get users ripped of their hard-earned money on the forum as a result of interest trust in people they believe to have so much feedback and trust rating on the forum. I really don't like this motion as the hero members should please go against this. Any newbie can just fall into the trap and lose his/her money. that's why I always use escrow and middlemen to trade.
As you've mentioned it that's purpose of escrow. Most of users use these bought accounts to parcipate in signature campaigns as sr member can currently earn 0.4btc per month by posting 

Exactly, i think the one reason why people buying aside from scamming is the signature campaign.. because you can easily return your investment in 1-2 months..
 specially if you buy the account cheaper... 
But i feel that mostly intention was to scam. Cheesy lol
I've not seen any scam with trusted account in quite long time already, they are always newbies/members.

I think out of every retarded thing this forum lets people do, this takes the cake.
It is interesting to know the account is worth a little bit, but yeah as per my first line.... the forum really needs to re-evaluate. this has nothing to do with free speech etc etc.. its just bullshit is what it is.
If they disallow it, it will happen anyway through PM's, IRC's, etc. Accepting it as a possibility is easier than trying to fight something that you can't stop Wink

I don't know why people refuse to acknowledge that if it was banned here, it would go on elsewhere, and therefore see why it's better to have it here, in the open.

Nice to see what my account is worth, but in reality you can't really buy reputation, people will know whoever buys these aren't the original they won't act like them and it will be an obvious farce.

I don't think the buyers buy the accounts for reputation. I think they buy them for the status so that they can enter on the signature campaign and can earn more.

This should be banned. Only scammers will buy such accounts.

Most of the buyers buy it for signature campaign. Most scam are done by newbies with their new created account.
That's true, if you have good, constructive posts then you can have some addon money every month wich isn't bad. 

Maybe both, right? These accounts automatically get some trust level as a start!
Not both in any way i guess as you can't participate in any signature campaign if you have any negative trust.
