Title: Negative trust for sale of accounts?
Post by: Equinoxx on February 12, 2015, 05:22:59 AM
If I wanted to sell some accounts for example, would I get negative trust?
I would like to know the rules of this and where it states.
Thanks.

It isn't against the rules to sell bitcointalk accounts.

I suppose it would depend on how you acquired the accounts.

Edit: Not clear what type of accounts you're referring to.

I sell accounts regularly and have not received any negative trust for doing so.

I have seen a number of other sellers do the same thing and within the last several (~7 ish) months I have not seen anyone receiving negative trust for selling/trading accounts, although I cannot guarantee future performance.

he is clearly referring to bitcointalk.org accounts (at least it is clear to me)

it is not against the rules to sell accounts although some people do not like this practice, however people seem to be more open to the idea as of recently

People used to leave negative trust for account sellers a lot but I think most have just accepted it happens now and that it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think most people automatically assumed accounts would be used to scam but it's generally accepted that the vast majority do not and are just used for signature campaigns.

Yes I have to agree with that.
But why does the community allows signature campaigns for people who have negative trust?
Some -1 is ok, but -20 and still here I would not allow it.
Because there is a reason why he/she got that trust and it should have some restrictions at least.

Most signature campaigns don't accept people with negative trust but that is up to the individual operators so I'd take it up with them.

id say you wont get negative trust , but to be safe as we dont know the future tolerance of this, people tend to make a new account to sell another account

Id like to add to the above that it would be a good idea for you as well as the person buying the account(s) to keep the name as private as possible. E.g. dont post as the account you are selling, but with the account you want to keep. Oh and you should be able to verifiy that you controlled the accounts for a reasonable time. Usually this is done with a signed message that can be confirmed with an BTC address from an unedited old post.

or if you want to leave the forum and never back again, better sell your account to earn something rather than nothing :D

So OP want to make sales just like quickseller's ?
I think it was hard to maintain the quality post of each account and it spend a lot of time.
