This is usually already done... assuming I can find and confirm which accounts are sold, I will leave a neutral feedback as reference and I have seen other DT members do the same, but this is not always easy. I believe its easier for admins to do this because they have access to IP & other information to go by (also not 100% accurate, but more information than we have as users). In the end, most account sales are hidden and not advertised as to which accounts are being sold. I still think the forum should make a rule against it, but they don't, they just discourage the behavior and seem to acknowledge that its not a good practice. It just seems like its a rule they are not fully able to enforce so they don't enforce it at all.

I think it hurts this forum and subsequently hurts Bitcoin in the process. Those that want to support Bitcoin should not want to see the top discussion forum overrun by a bunch of shady people with high-ranking profiles. I fear there are some large scams coming around the corner and hope everyone is keeping a vigilant eye out for them.

Even using an escrow isn't safe, there are a few escrows that could be safer than others but its always a risk. As the value increases in Bitcoin, the incentive to scam gets higher, and there are definitely people setup in high-ranked accounts that bought their way in. We can only hope they are just honest users trying to get ahead of the game but nobody will know until they run their exit scams and disappear. They may be brought to justice after their scams in one form or another, but the coins they scammed are likely never to be seen again, and that's just sad.


Unfortunately red or neutral tagging these throw-away accounts probably isn't going to do anything. Most of the people buying these accounts wouldn't care about the tag and if they did, the seller would create another newbie account and sell them. Threads being deleted could be helpful in getting this activity off of the forum. But some people, including admins, will say that doing this will just force them to go "underground" and sell the accounts elsewhere and there is no way to stop it. I say fine, let them go somewhere else, why make it easier on them, why give them the audience and traffic that this forum provides?

And yes, this seller could be completely lying and not have any accounts at all. One after effect of allowing trading on this forum: newbie accounts selling "legendary/hero" accounts are somehow not seen as newbies anymore because there is a false assumption that they own these high ranked accounts and are more trustworthy than other newbies. This is a very bad assumption to make but I am losing my sympathy for anyone attempting to buy these accounts.

It was the fake link inside of that quote which went to an image that appears to look like monbux's thread with a different BTC address to send the funds to.

If everyone would stop buying and selling accounts we would all have a much lower chance of getting scammed.

Your transaction is not confirmed. You have to wait until its confirmed and it sounds like they would process it then.
Hope your enjoying your legendary account. 

Throw some graham crackers in there or something, you gotta have something to simulate the crust of pumpkin pie.
Now I have to go buy pumpkin pie... 

Pickles & peanut butter sandwich. I don't intend to try it.  Peanut butter and Nutella on the other hand... yes.

Missing In Action

There are some browsers (mainly firefox) that store these settings a per-domain basis, other browsers change the setting for all pages unless your using an extension/plugin that allows you to set them on a per-domain basis. You probably accidentally zoomed out using one of the hotkeys for zooming which would usually be, for zooming out, CTRL (-) or CMD (-) if on a MAC, the - can also be triggered by using the scrolling functionality on a mouse, so CTRL/CMD and scrolling down/up would zoom as well.

Interesting, didn't know about the grace period. It really should be more obvious than the dotted line but there is another thread about that:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1474402.0

EDIT: Sounds like its more visible in the new forum.. and I'm testing the grace period on this forum!    10 minutes it is...

You are likely zoomed out on your browser... depends on the browser you are using but you can likely fix this by using the "View" menu at the top of the browser and select 'actual size', '100%', or whatever. If you tell me what browser your using, I could give more specific directions.  

None of this makes any sense. Which account are you claiming you bought 10 days ago?   and who did you buy it from?

I've added feedback, he may come back and render the services but I'll leave it for now. Why didn't you use an escrow?

As you are well aware, you're in a grace period, you can still renew the domain. You would have probably 25-30 days to do this, so it doesn't matter that you started this topic a day after it expired. You were still looking for offers as of yesterday (even though your auction apparently ended on the 15th). You would still have a reason to fight to remove the trust and sell the domain within the next 25-30 days. You might want to go ahead and end your auction if your not planning to sell the domain and are keeping the account.

This is the reason you are not trustworthy. You create (or willingly participate) in fraudulent investment schemes, whether its a pyramid, a ponzi, or whatever you want to call it. Most people do not trust others that are knowingly involved with such schemes, I am one of them, and there are plenty of people that do not know what a ponzi or pyramid scheme is, and those are the people that need to be notified about your activities. I'm late on the feedback but I'm going to leave it as a warning to others in case he somehow gets this feedback removed.

I can't comment on the casino activities mentioned here (you shouldn't really trust any casino, especially an online one) and I'm not sure about the 3rd party sites but the original /video guidelines on fortunejack.com seems to state it would be split up and there would be minimum views required.

EDIT: There does still seem to be a discrepency on how many views were actually received, and it was a tricky/misleading advertisement for the competition, but based on the "Important" section of the contest, I wouldn't have entered it because it leaves too much room for the contest creator to deem views as fake and eliminate contestants on their own doubts of view authenticity.

I'm not sure which part of the post the meme is intended but I think I've cleared up my post now   If your questioning why the URL you posted doesn't work, hover the mouse over the link and look in the status bar, it will not be the full URL, and the values will not be accurate on the site.

I was a little shocked by the deletions in this thread as well, 3 of mine were also removed. My initial response was anger because I don't like people being censored, admittedly I was already in a pretty bad mood before this, but that's initially what it felt like to me. In the heat of the moment, I did send a message complaining and trying to get a reason but I have since asked them to ignore my complaint. I do still have unresolved internal conflicts with the deletions because they seemed to be on topic to me.

I will at least say that I have a new opinion of the situation since I've calmed down, but its just my opinion, and I've learned that the outspoken people on this forum usually do not like my opinion and it would not be worth the argument (in this situation). I intend to make a mental note and keep it to myself to avoid pissing anyone else off or getting banned. As Lutpin said, just move on. Nothing to see here. Welcome to Bitcointalk!  

If it helps, this is my new understanding of what an off-topic reply is:

Example:
OP: I'd like to know what kind of apples you grow to get some ideas for my farm, please tell me.

Response #1: I grow red Apples
Response #2: I grow green apples
Response #3: I grow much better red apples and I get my seeds from JJ Seeds & company
Response #4: Be careful with those JJ seeds, they are not organic!  The best apples are grown from organic seeds, in certain climates.
Response #5: I grow really good green apples and I also get my seeds from JJ seeds
Response #6: Bananas are better for you, and they taste better.
Response #7: Apples are not worth your time, you should grow bananas.
Response #8: I had a bad batch of JJ Seeds once, none of them grew!
Response #9: I had a bad batch of JJ seeds too, none of mine grew, but now I grow red apples, they are yummy.
Response #10: I grow red Apples ya ,and I like, bees ,and cucumbrs... and I just post here to get paid from a sig campaign

------------------

#6,#7 is what I would normally have seen as off-topic posts.
#4 could be useful information to provide to the OP, and on the topic of growing apples, but he didn't say what type of apples he grows!
#9 of course stays.
#10 would stay but completely useless.

---

#4 is now on the "chopping block" of posts that *could* be deleted as off-topic, but not always... and if it is, any replies relating to it which does not contain the kind of apples grown (#8) are also wiped.

The thought process that has to go into posting these days is overwhelming....  the only ones that have it easy are sig spammers, and they get paid for it.

EDIT: grue's way is better! I'm an idiot for putting the crossed-out url above. I usually don't lookup the values and should have just used the urlencode() function to get the url but it seemed easier to lookup the values at the time, and I ended up on a site giving special characters. MY BAD!  

No, not President. He could not provide a birth certificate and would never release tax returns... but he would make a great Secretary of the Treasury!
