As long as people pay for it, there will be a never ending supply of accounts, it was easier to do before the merit.
What I meant was that there should be a way to tackle this.
I wonder who is that escrow member he has and how people believe the escrow manager.
The guy said in one of his comments in that thread that he got connections in the forum. He can probably also use one of the accounts that he has as the escrow, if he got one with positive feedback.
Selling merit may seem bad but not forced to be prohibited. Only if a merit source found to be involved in selling merit then Theymos will remove him from the list.
Merit system was introduced 5 years ago, it's pointless now to continue talking about it. We accepted all pros and cons.
I know that it is not prohibited but they should be hunted down and negative tagged to stop such activities. I understand that the merit system is already old, I was an active member when it was first introduced and I understand all the pros and cons, but we need to keep filtering such stuff to further clean up the forum.
You can only do this to join bounty but unfortunately you can not join any good signature campaign. When you buying account or merit, you're not a good poster (if you're, you don't do this), not be able to write meaningful posts so no campaign manager will accept you in a good signature campaign.
Some managers accept average posters in their signature campaigns, and account buyers only purchase accounts or merits to bypass the rule for getting some merits in the last 120 days which is a requirement for most signature campaigns these days.
