Don’t you see that a buyer could have a legit lawsuit?
He could force kyc on the website. Saying that bitcointalk is practicing deception by allowing the sale of accounts and then allowing tagging.
How many people have been tagged more then 100 means a class action lawsuit can be done.
You understand my thought is to protect bitcointalk. I feel this policy of allowing sales and allowing tagging of a sale could create a legal issue for the website and for the taggers .
Hypothetically speaking, if I place negative feedback on your account because
I think you are high-risk to trade with, you can't do anything about it. System is made in such way that I don't have to give my reason why I think you are "high risk":
All I have to do is to think that trading with you is high risk. If it comes to law suit, correct defence will be "I think trading with anonymous person is high risk". Basically every member can have this tag.

That is not correct, according to forum rules:
18. Having multiple accounts and account sales are allowed, but account sales are discouraged.
Q: I saw a guy selling Bitcointalk accounts. Why is that allowed?
A: Since we can't effectively prevent these sales (proxies, TOR, sales on other forums), we don't because otherwise we would be giving the users a false sense of security.
No one is deceived here, forum does not approve account sales but they are allowed because they can't be effectively prevented.
