Providing that work is done on the quality of posts here, I can't say I would see the need for this to come into place.
I don't see the need for it either, but I wouldn't mind going either ways at this point. There aren't that many 'real reasons' for which one would need to engage in account sales.
In addition, I feel that it may simply be useless work for Staff members; if the seller has any sense he will sell the account using an anonymous Newbie account. Banning this will do nothing but waste the time of Staff.
Indeed. It may end up being a lot more work than its worth it. In any case, I don't see the forum policy shifting towards that direction.
Yes and unfortunately members with positive feedback and specially the old members can do more scams if they want to.
We can't educate everyone on how to avoid scams on time.
At least selling some accounts must be restricted or publicly announced. I do not know why this rule does not modified.
I'd say because it is near impossible to enforce properly and may not do that much good either.
From experience, I see that those of higher ranks write more constructive posts than lower ranking members.
That's not a general thumb rule. I've seen users of high ranks write posts of very poor quality.
