You guys should know that even if trading a bitcointalk account is forbidden, lots of people will still do it underground, people tend to violates the rules

With theft forbidden, many people still do it.  If I'm following your logic, we should legalise theft, rape, murder, etc., etc.
Condoning multiple accounts is fail, allowing accounts to be openly sold, right on the forum is just...

This is why we can't have nice things.

comparing murder/rape (there is a clear victim) to selling accounts is hilarious.
anybody doing business here should always use escrow. there where also cases where people used hacked accounts to scam.

if you make a rule (selling forbidden) that you cant enforce nobody will take your other rules seriously...

While it could be argued that rules against alt accounts are unenforceable, there's nothing unenforceable about rules against selling bitcointalk accounts on bitcointalk.  These rules are enforced the same way rules against posting and selling child porn are enforced:  You delete the post & ban the account responsible.
Easy peasy.
