When we buy an account on auction section how can we know if that account wasn't already banned from a signature campaign for an example? Any way to know it or we only have the seller word to trust?

There is no way except to either ask every single campaign whether the account was banned or trust the seller.

So it's very risk. If someone sells a neutral trust account, but that passed for many signature campaigns and was banned from all, this account won't worth. The buyer will think he can make some profit joining a campaign and in the end he can't anything. :(

If a user has been banned from a campaign, the reason is usually negative trust or spam. It is fairly easy for someone to check whether the account has neg trust or if the posting history is spammy.

just ask each of campaign, or ask those who ever be campaign manager, each of them have a list of the members who they banned.
even the account has not negative trust are included on that list.
so you must check it carefully. Good luck  :)

I don't think there is no other way to know if an accout is already banned. Your best option is to buy an account which doesn't hae a poor post quality because those are the accounts who most likely be banned.

I don't think they will be willing to share this list to help someone in buying accounts.  If anything sig campaigns managers should be anti-buying of accounts.  I personally am no fan of it.

The fact is you will not know if it's banned from a sig campaign.  Also the person can sell it to you then claimed it was hacked... and you have a dispute over account.  So there is a lot that can go bad.   Your playing in a risky game when buying a account I strongly suggest just raising one personally.  With this you can have good post history.  As even if the account is not banned from a campaign a lot of bought accounts you can tell by either hole in posting, change in posting, or crap post quality one day changing.

Maybe  you can ask the seller about the signature campaign, is everything okay or not by signed a message. and remember to use escrow for your transaction.

only honest seller will give all detail regarding accounts to be sold but if they give honest informations i think nobody will buy those accounts because it's too risky so if any someone will buy account on auctions section then they should be realize with the risk too

Only buy from sellers with green trust. Always remember to use escrow, before making a solid deal ask whether the account has been already banned from campaigns or not. Tread carefully for there may be those guys who are looking to get the dead weight off of them by deceiving others.

I would just ask the seller and make sure to deal with someone quite trusted.  :)

Yes, the only way to make it safe is make deal with someone very very trusted that you know won't deceive you. Because if you do the deal with anyone, he can lie to you and when you buy the account a very nasty surprise wait for you... (Can't join Signature Campaigns because the account was already banned in the past).

If we can learn something with this thread is to have caution or avoid to this kind of deal.  :D

you have to check out the account on your own and if there is an specific campaign you want to join you have to only ask the manager about it and use google to see if he is banned or not, search the username + site:bitcointalk.org

even if it is banned you can talk to the manager and tell him that you bought the account and if your post quality is not shit they will accept you.

risks is always on our side as part of trading and buying thats why I have been reading post and updates so i can reduce the percentage of risk in my own transactions and this helps me a lot.  Thanks for helpful infos :)
