How do you handle account bans? If someone buys your account and gets banned, then all the accounts get compromised as there is no way to know for sure that the account was really sold.

I have sold accounts in the past where the buyer immediately started making dozens of spammy posts, and was quickly banned. None of my other accounts were affected. I think it is pretty fair to say that BadBear is pretty good at detecting when an account was sold.

I had that question following this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=994097.0

IMO banning everyone, seller, buyer is the right thing to do as one can never be sure that the account has indeed been sold. You would obviously disagree to this, but not doing this creates a loophole.

It shouldn't be too difficult to tell if an account is sold, especially if the posting habits changes substantially. It is also not difficult to tell when an account is sold, especially considering the fact that most people who are going to get banned for signature spam are not going to go out of their way to hide the fact that their account is banned.

Edit: the fact that I have a reputation of putting in a lot of effort into what I post likely is going to give me additional credibility when it comes to these decisions.

Also if you are curious, yes people have likely tried to get me banned by buying multiple accounts and then immediately started posting large amounts of shit posts in a very short amount of time. I was notified by the person that purchased them that they were banned for 14 days within an hour (they had probably made ~150 one liners in that time) and no none of my other accounts that I own were affected.

I honestly don't blame you Quickseller. I know how the people work in the community. If they can't get something their way, they will go out of their way to try and hurt you. (Symatec and FuckIdolplus for examples) I even had someone turn me down for a sale when I mentioned getting you to be the escrow. Wasn't nothing against them, I've had successful transactions with them before, and with you, so I was kinda surprised when they said that they wouldn't use you because of some of the feedback you had. But at least this way you have 1 less item you have to worry about. I'm sure you'll make money other ways.

you don't blame quickseller for helping scammers scam? by selling them accounts. Yes he is not doing anything wrong but he is in deed promoting these issues. His end goal as most is to make some coin but at the expense of selling which could be hacked accounts or used as vehicles for scamming. Again I am not saying he knows they might be hacked, stolen what ever you want to call it. But by selling accounts he is part of the problem.

Its like this you wouldn't buy a stolen expensive watch on the street (not knowing its stolen of course) why would you buy accounts that could be stolen?

Quick seller should be held accountable to some degree.

How about making account buying and selling banned. This should reuse the issues

I bought an account way back and got screwed for it. I don't use at all.

It is too bad that a very small percentage of the accounts I have sold ended up scamming. It is probably well under 6%.

The accounts that I have sold were not hacked prior to me selling them as I took the proper precautions to ensure that was not the case prior to me purchasing them. Although I cannot guarantee that the new owners took care of their passwords after they purchased them from me.
