Account temporary or long-term banned?

[PrimusInterPares]

A user offered me a cheap account. I acutally do not need it and denied the offer but I'm wondering if this account is temporarily banned - as he stated - or long-term. I need to know that because I wanto to evaluate if I can trust the claims of this user in the future or not.

The message he sent me for its account is

Sorry ......, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.

The account has a temporary ban of 10 days. It says the time in the ban message, if it didn't, it would have been a permanent ban. However, be aware that once that account has had a ban, any further bans will be longer or a permaban.

The message seems what would usually appear, but considering one can just fake the message as the format is generally know and that members have been perma-banned due to my reports in meta, not temp-banned, I'm gonna say its highly likely a perma-banned account.

Anyway, don't deal with banned accounts as bitcointalk relies on a 2-3 strikes system, first "warning" is 3-10 days, second 60 days and third a perma-ban. Doesn't matter if you bought it , hacked it or anything, admins don't give a damn. If you're gonna avoid all of the warning , at least use an escrow to check the validity of the OP's claims
