WARNING !

Are you trying to buy bitcointalk account ? If yes then read my post before attempt. Perhaps it will help you to save your money.

Most likely your are thinking account sales are allow by forum. Let's see the rules about it.

Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged

As you can see I have bold and marked red about discouraged. Although account allow but it's strongly discourage by forum. In a result DT are free to tag sold account. If your account tagged by DT means it's useless. Your intention of buy account will not worthy.

Are you thinking how it will be identify that you bought account ? It could be easily found from Security log and your posting behaviour.

My intention to create this thread is save your money from scammers. You are going to buy an account means your going to get scamed. And scam are not moderated by forum. You will found many scam accusation about account sell on Scam Accusation board.

Accoumt sellers will never trust you then why should you trust them? Obviously a seller will ask you to pay first. Most of account seller never hold any account then how will  they provide you an account? In a result you will get scammed. Perhaps they will provide you escrow website, but all of them are not trusted. Just use Google search then you will get lot of result. On the other hand any trusted forum escrow will not allow to trade bitcointalk account. So is it not high risk ? Could you ask them to send first ? Obviously they will deny you.

Imagine, seller proved you account details, but do you know who is the real owner ? Account might be hacked or scamed from others. So if anybody claim it then it will tagged and worthless.

Do you know why really you need to buy account ? I can't see any porpuse except shady signature. You will never except on good signature campaign like by Bitcoin. Because a good poster will never sold his account. Now-a-days build an ranked account isn't easy and nobody will sale to you original account. So why not avoid from buy account and build your own?

To be honest if you are a good poster you could build easily your account. If you are shitposter then there if difficult. But even you bought account and you are a spammer then I don't see any point to buy account. Because any spammer will not accept on good signature campaign. Perhaps you could join few worthless token signature campaign which is more than 90% are scammer.

Eventually I want to say don't attempt to buy account, it's really not fair. Somehow you might got scam or red tag by DT. Just try little bit to improve your posting behaviour then you could build easily your own account.

I think this thread does not belong to the auction and thus should be moved to meta section.

I think it should be visible in the section where most account sales take place and people get scammed.

I think your username suggests why you think differently.

Those long posts above can be shorten to "use common sense". And you can't force it to people who don't have  one.

it never hurts to remind people, but if someone is looking to buy an account they're likely going to go for it regardless of a warning.
and probably get scammed?

what's the point with "discouraging" against buying accounts, rather than just disallowing it?

You posted it here? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0
Probably because it is a guide, you are not auctioning or selling anything and as far as I can see there are no other guides in that section. I only checked pages 1 and 2.

Maybe such information could be added in stickies in the trading and auctioning sections of the forum to warn users who might be planning to buy accounts.
Someone who is planning to buy an account might now even read this information from the B&H board.

I think asking this in meta would be better. Mods usually lurk there, so you'll get your answer relatively faster than asking in this thread. But I kinda get why, maybe because the target for this post is a beginner? Though there's no harm making it a guide on the auction page imo.

It's not actually against forum rules, so mods might not be too keen on making a sticky for it specifically. It's mentioned in the unofficial list of rules sticky though:

18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.

That's probably good enough. Legitimate members shouldn't care about ranks anyway.

edit: woops mprep was already cited my bad lol
