Better that it's out in the open where newbies can clearly see what is going on, rather than hidden somewhere off-site. Use your sense when considering trading with others. Use established escrow to reduce the likelihood of being scammed. Certainly don't trust someone because they have a certain rank or post count (why this would make someone more trustworthy is beyond me anyway).
People who are really against this would do better to spend their time posting warnings in the newbie sub-forum rather than trying to stop it. Education > censorship.
This is a real warning and a helpful tip as regards to fake scums buying full member, snr. member accts tand get users ripped of their hard-earned money on the forum as a result of interest trust in people they believe to have so much feedback and trust rating on the forum. I really don't like this motion as the hero members should please go against this. Any newbie can just fall into the trap and lose his/her money. that's why I always use escrow and middlemen to trade.
As you've mentioned it that's purpose of escrow. Most of users use these bought accounts to parcipate in signature campaigns as sr member can currently earn 0.4btc per month by posting
From whom ?
And, btw, why in the first place, instead of just learning things in this forum (by questions/answers) people use to trade anything here? A forum is not meant to be a marketplace, but just a meeting place, nothing else. Also, if everyone could sell/buy accounts, why people still trust any "escrow" presented in here? This is against any logic, IMO.
