Selling accounts shouldn't be allowed, and Bitcointalk shouldn't endorse it. The argument given against it is that accounts will be sold with or without the approval of this forum, so keeping it open warns others.
However, if Bitcointalk says its against the rules, and everytime takes the side of the seller, than it means buyers take a huge risk as accounts can be taken back anytime. That should drastically decrease account trading.
It's not really endorsed. Ponzis and scams are 'allowed' ie not moderated but that doesn't mean the forum endorses them. I also think it's rare that any accounts get recovered by theymos nowadays so there's not much chance of someone doing this or it's certainly not as easy as that, but buyers should be aware of the risks and if something goes wrong the staff aren't here to dig you out of it.
just a question...
can you enumerate a few points why accounts could not be sold???
thanks
Could or
should not?
