Does no one see the potential for abuse here? Are you going to give a newbie with 10 posts a loan? Hell no.
Are you going to give a very seasoned member with a good rep a loan if he promises a good interest rate? Probably.

lol $25? What a con, plus if you were an old member it would definitely be worth a lot more, yes, I won't let mine go for less than 1000BTC Cheesy and you'd have to do the transfer with a neutral escrow Wink.

I can't believe he's actually trying to sell for $25. Aren't they worth $0 because you can just register and work yourself up.

Sadly some people fall for it. He's already sold some at this forum over at the digital goods section.

Selling these accounts are different. It encourages scammers. The people who normally want to purchase these accounts want them for their date/trust because they think people will trust them more.

Exactly. People want to buy accounts with trust, instead of earning it themselves.

The amount of newbies I seen basing reputation on post count, trust & date registered is unbelievable. I bet most users with early registration dates have been bought.

This sucks. They are even junior member accounts, why would anyone want those from '11.

I can see how this ruins the community in multiple ways.

This is just creating more possible scams.

I'm with Lethn, I'd never sell my account out cheaply. I suspect most "veterans" feel similarly.

Still weird though. Smiley
