Title: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: deadweasel on June 12, 2013, 12:52:21 PM Please tell me this is not allowed. Please tell me you will handle this.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=224745.msg2450505#msg2450505 User BTCTalkAccounts is buying selling and pawning accounts on this forum. That way the scammers can buy their way into a brand new Full Member account, while the newbies sit in prison. That's bullshit. Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: greyhawk on June 12, 2013, 01:11:38 PM It's allowed. Amazing, is it not?

Is there some backstory or thread I can read to see how this insanity was agreed upon? Does. Not. Compute. Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: deadweasel on June 12, 2013, 01:14:54 PM It's allowed, several mods have already pointed this out. It's a big forum, full of spam, scammers, and now people selling accounts. HOW WOULD I KNOW WITH ALL THIS BULLSHIT IN THE FORUMS? I think this is the point. I can't find anything useful because people are so busy selling accounts, scamming, spamcoining, and generally not being of consequence at all. Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: xboxgames on June 12, 2013, 01:15:39 PM I agree. Its retarded. But they can't enforce a rule to not do it. Better to see your enemy than not

Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: deadweasel on June 12, 2013, 01:30:05 PM It's totally allowed. If I'm going to be honest one of the reasons I decided to do this was not to just make money, but to highlight the fact that you cannot trust people based on their posts, status or trustrating. Everybody has their price, and now people are starting to realize this. Secondly, I take pride in the fact that so far none the accounts I have sold to business partners have been used for scamming, most are used mainly for promotion (think MPOE-PR, attacking competition and stuff). I also sell accounts to anyone, for promotion, role-playing, or to use the existing rep to build a business, but I have not had much interest in this yet. I see all this. I'm just appalled and the contradictory stuff going on in the forum. I assume all accounts are stolen by default anyway, but damn, just throwing in my face like this. But yes, if it's going to happen, at least make sure EVERYONE knows about it. BTW, might want to market in newb prison. ;) Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS?

Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS? Post by: xboxgames on June 12, 2013, 01:35:34 PM Kinda like if you wanna sell your social and drivers license in all life to someone who looks like you.
All bad when the person you sold to uses that info to create a massive scam, and the police come to your door. Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS?

How would you even possibly close it? Forum accounts for BTCTalk are being openly bought and sold on diverse other platforms and forums, not just through BTCTalkAccounts. Also lots of people are being contacted by PM to ask if they'd be willing to sell their account. Title: - Post by: BTCTalkAccounts on June 12, 2013, 01:43:56 PM -

Thanks for the heads-up, looks like I've got even more competition inbound. This was more common during the whole Ripple giveaway. I think it ebbed down now.

Post by: jeannie on June 12, 2013, 01:49:13 PM Opencoin requires accounts to be started in Feb 13, I guess only those accounts are of value. Wonder when will be the next giveaway, I think there will be another mad rush of buyers for bitcointalk accounts.

Maybe put a link in your sig to a post that says account selling is ok? That could help with the questions, because I've seen a fair amount of people asking recently.

Ok, so if the tide cannot be stemmed, we can at least observe it here. While I don't like it, I see it as bad decision where all the other options would be worse. So, what is my account worth, BTCTalkAccounts? Out of curiosity. Title: Re: BTCTalkAccounts buying selling pawning bitcointalk.org user accounts?! MODS?

That could help with the questions, because I've seen a fair amount of people asking recently. Done. So, what is my account worth, BTCTalkAccounts? Out of curiosity. Lets see...hero account 2012 with 600 posts, worth about 0.5BTC. Trust from MPOE makes it worth $0 however (lol, nah I'm kidding). You do have some rep from your escrow service and appear to have a site, so my offer would probably be around 1BTC, mainly because the account will sit for a while as I currently have no use for it, but if I had a buyer for it my offer would be easily 2BTC, I'd need to do more investigative work to give a more accurate offer but I'm not doing that when you have no intention of selling and I have little use for it. Thanks for the transparency. If it's allowed and you're doing it right, then more power to you! and lol @ mpoe-pr trust = 0 btc :D |
