Does it have trusted positive trust? Do you have a signed message available for it? Also, what kind of positive trust does it have? I might be interested if you can answer my questions.

GLWS.

Don't just ignore KWH's tip about PayPal transactions. You are a newbie and you are attempting to use a reversible payment option; I suggest you use a nonreversible method first.

That is a plausible story, but not a likely one. Most hackers will not forget to change the password on the account but of course it's always possible that they forgot this time.

Did you mean 0.05BTC for a multi-page website? 0.01 to 0.5 seems like a big jump. I have a small website idea that I have and if you meant 0.05BTC instead of 0.5, I might be interested.

I bought a generator account from this user and he upgraded my account within about a minute of sending payment. I sent first. I have generated a couple of accounts and everything seems to be working.

I've heard of people buying bitcoins with PayPal on Virwox, but I'm not sure if you can sell bitcoins. However, there are reputable traders here such as monbux, hedgy73, etc. that might be able to do this for you.

From what I understand in Neotox's original post, you and Defcon both said that your account was sold. He hasn't given proof of the statements but I'm sure he will on request.

The debate wasn't for your account not being sold. On the contrary, it was about it not being sold; about you/defcon lying about it being sold despite it not being sold in the last month.

Why do you not want to use a reputable forum escrow? As @above said, escrow.com has a $25 fee; that's a 150% fee of the transaction if I buy it for $10. A reputable forum escrow can secure this transaction without any scams being done.

If you accept forum escrowing, I will bid $11.

That's why I put the last bit in.



You're not making much sense here. I think you obviously know that newbie restrictions are not put in place to encourage account sales; instead, to prevent spam and etc. And so you're saying that every single account that is bought is used for spamming? That's obviously not true.

Okay... So every single person here on the forum with a signature ad deserves to be scammed. This is the point where I understand that I cannot have an intellectual discussion with you. Again, that's your opinion. You should go discuss it in this thread.

I figure we should bring the discussion to a thread in Meta. I'm sure there are quite a number of threads that are suitable for this, but we're clogging up this thread.

And if you're so intent on arguing your point, create a new thread in Meta and I'm sure you could get a number of replies, not just me.

Doesn't mean that it happens often in the real world. I've never been scammed, but look around at the forum; plenty of scams occur here.


I think I phrased my statement wrongly. I meant to say, "however, the fact that an account is bought/sold can't be found out until either".

Plenty of people know the fact that accounts are bought/sold; how early you know that really depends on where you spend your time in sections.

I think the community does a good job keeping newbies cautious against everyone and encouraging escrow.


Just because someone buys an account doesn't mean that they are 100% buying it to scam. There are tons of honest people who buy accounts to participate in signature campaigns; you wouldn't care if they got ripped off, but you would if someone else did? I guess that's just your opinion.

0.05BTC.

You should understand that I'm not going to troll you if you post on your main.

I see your point; however, rape and murder happen so often IRL that it's practically impossible to forget it. Plus, you know when someone gets raped/murdered because it's on the news; however, the buying/selling of accounts can't be found out until either

a) the new owner of the account messes up
b) he pulls the scam.

Also, escrows would not escrow for account trades, which means that people would be forced to have someone send first in those under-the-table deals, which means that many people would get scammed like that.

However, if accounts are banned, people will believe that all accounts were created by the original owner and thus will be a bit more trustworthy, so accounts sold under the table will have greater scam opportunities.

So this might mean that users who use Defcon's escrow service for large funds might find themselves coughing in his dust while he runs away with them. He might be one of those members who keep buying accounts, getting trust, doing escrow, and running.


It's not, and you should never think of it like that.

I assume you want followers instead of flowers.

These aren't going to be quality followers at all since the OP has even stated that they are going to be all bots, meaning that they're computers and don't care about what you have to say.

Calm down. He's saying that he would trade that potential full member account for yours; he's not necessarily thread hijacking.

I got 8 ignored posts. Can you point out posts that aren't up to your standards so that I could stop posting like that in the future?

You have already emailed the right person. Theymos is a busy man; it may take a week for him to respond to you. There is nothing else you can do to speed up the unlocking of your account except to wait.

Even though it's not very active/people don't post there that often, it serves as a useful section and you can't really put those threads anywhere else. I'm not quite sure if the whole idea of reputation threads is needed, but for those who feel that they would like one, it's useful.
