Title: Is selling accounts forbidden?
Post by: tubexc on September 18, 2017, 01:17:38 PM
I wanted to sell my acc and created topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2186079
Then my acc was tagged by yahoo62278, why so? is it forbidden to sell accounts On this forum?
Ok, now if I'm not going to sell the account and I will delete the topic of selling, then my trust will be returned to the initial position?

AFAIK, selling your account is not forbidden... This means the mod's will not ban you if you try to sell your account.
Trust, however, is unmoderated and has little or nothing to do with the forum rules. Yahoo62278 indicates he does not trust you because you're selling your account, and that's OK. It's perfectly valid for him not to trust you if you're selling your account.

It happens quite often that a sold account is used to scam people, or to send spam, so a lot of people will give you negative trust if you get involved with the account trade.

As for your last question: the only one that can remove the red trust is yahoo62278. Try contacting him, explain your situation and ask him if he's willing to remove his trust if you delete your sale topic... Maybe he'll help you out, maybe he won't... That's completely up to him.

This bit doesn't help:

Trust summary for tubexc

This user's email address was changed recently.

This user changed his/her password recently.


It's going to be difficult to convince anyone that the account hasn't already been sold so it would be very unlikely that the negative trust would be removed.

Thank you for creating this topic!!  I must have missed your selling thread and have now also tagged your account, and it's appropriate.  Account sales lead to all sorts of mess on this forum, and now hopefully no one will want to buy yours.

You should have created a sock puppet account to tell people you were selling this one. It devalues your account by announcing it's for sale. I hope that yahoo dude temoves his neg trust though, it's a bit unfair imo.

You learn something new everyday. I did not know people could sell accounts and it is legal. Woah mind blown a little, time to take a step back

I'm guessing he wasn't expecting that. LOL!

That's true but wouldn't it be better (for the sellers at least) if there was a thread like this one (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1702409.new#new) where one could post about any account they want to sell? That way it can be monitored and tagged if and when it becomes a spam/trust-farming account.

Yeah it is actually forbidden "well sort of" because you don't actually get banned by admin but u will get a lot of neg trusts because as stated above it leads to a lot of mess and disorder in this forum. and simply people don't trust the new owner of the account! he can be a scammer with a legendary acc. you get the point...
