Title: Selling illegal service, red tag worthy?
Post by: coinlocket$ on April 08, 2019, 10:58:49 PM
I see more and more this kind of services like this one, where they sell a subscription for TV channels and more.

Since is a Pay For View service this should be illegal, I'm not American and I don't know how it works there.

Do you think they should be redtrusted?

Script kiddies find free accounts and sell them, knowing they will be deactivated.

I don't think DT members should get involved in what's legal and what's illegal judgment to this extent, that's the mods job since the forum rules do state something similar.


In fact bitcoin itself is illegal in a few countries, so the question is , does this member deliver what he promises? did he scam anyone or is he very likely a scammer ? if not then, i do not think he should be tagged, but i am willing to know what others think and if i am missing any point.

I think there's something with your trust list. I can't see a positive feedback there.

I second that what mikeywith said. Personally I don't think that user should tagged. If someone selling something illegal then that subject to be moderated by forum (IMO). But if this user scammed someone or he had not provide his/her promised services then he would deserve tag. We don't know how they manage their services really. Not sure if they are providing fake services, it can be determine by buyers. If there is any claim against his/her service then you can mention it OP.

I have been around for years and I've seen many accounts offer "unlimited" Spotify, Hulu, UFC TV and whatever other subscription you can think off. They all offer a waranty and pretty much all of them disappear once the accounts start getting deactivated.

On the account selling part, even if they say they have a warranty as they will replace it, it's a hassle, and things like this are really for those things temporary. Maybe an example could be is that someone buys a Chegg account and it would be okay for him/her to deactivate it when the term is over or something. Temporary is the time limit of the accounts.

As long as they don't get to affect the users here, they would just be there minding their own business.

There is no reason to be tagged as long as he is minding his own business and if he has been trustworthy with other users and has not scammed anyone.There are some users on DT who used to tagg these type of sellers but rarely I see it anymore.

The prices are usually so cheap you still get your moneys worth even if it gets deactivated.  Ive bought netflix subs on here for $2 so no complaints here lol

I will definitely tag a person if the sell illegal passport/ID type of documents. This is identity altering which should not be encouraged.

I see more and more this kind of services like this one, where they sell a subscription for TV channels and more.
Subscription of TV channel is not a big deal. Unless the seller do not keep the words he promise to the buyer.

It is illegal in the states but just about everyone does iptv services mostly on jailbroke firesticks running kodi repo's.
Do people run these services from smatv systems or what?.
Anyways, I wouldn't tag them unless they give reason to. Benefit of the doubt.

Maybe it depends on what is being sold but if its illegal then it should be tagged. If the forum will not do anything about it, next thing we know this forum will be a haven for illegal trades because as long as they deliver as promised, they don't get tagged. However, even if its just a simple TV channels, what if the owners of that channels make a public statement that a there's a certain forum where their channels are being sold illegally. Forum name will be dragged.
