The real question is why a topic like this is not closed and merged with the others that are currently active!
Seems to be what is done on other topics in the forum or we driving a optic campaign to make it appear like a issue is more dire?

The flawed thinking is one begots the other when it comes to selling of accounts,signature spam and scamming.

ofc it should be allowed. people need high ranked accounts for sig money making.
don't cry op baby. jest deal.
yeah ... good exemple !  : that's precisely against this kind of trolls ( like you ), than sales of account  shouldn't be allowed ...  you're a great ( perfect ) exemple what  i want say..
thank you  Wink

This topic is brought up way too often and the conclusion is that admins/mods can't stop the black market trade of these accounts.
That point does stand, however the situation would be different. When you think about it, right now there is nothing stopping you from involving in these trades (there are no 'risks', apart from possibly getting scammed by either the buyer or seller). In the case where account sales were disallowed (a bannable offense) there would be no more sales on the forum (they'd have to try to engage in these trades somewhere else) and now a certain risk factor would be present (anyone who gets caught doing account sales would be permanently banned). This would reduce the amount of trades by a noticeable amount.
  yeah Lauda.. this make sense.. indeed.

I also don't like accounts getting sold but whatever we do or say, it will continue as it's not against the forum rules.

I personally can't understand that some one is really willing to sell an account for very cheap as it cost so much time to build it up.

Well, we can't do anything about it. Just don't spend much attention to it when you see account sale threads. Just skip them.

Trade of bitcointalk.org forum accounts will never be 'banned', it's not about 'should not be allowed' ... it's about that the staff isn't a police station and it's work is moderate the forum content.

I totally agree.
Mostly all of the sold accounts are either used for sig spamming or scams.

i really think about selling Bitcointalk accounts shouldn't be allowed ..  these kind of deals encourage scams , spam signatures, etc..
from a while now we can see marketplace section of the forum spamed with these kinds of offers, and i think this desserve Bitcointalk comunity...

once again , it's just a personal feeling , but i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one thinking in this way ..
sure, selling accounts is allowed by the forum rules.. but at my humble opinion, it shouldn't.
