The forum approves of this happening. Banning the sale of forum accounts right on this forum wouldn't be that hard, would it?
It wouldn't be hard to say
the sale of forum accounts are now banned, but it wouldn't do anything. It would just push their sale off site.
Would also make it far less embarrassing to participate in this forum, because commentary like this just wouldn't happen:

I don't get the relevance. Some wannabe hack journalist gets banned for spamming and then invents a conspiracy? It doesn't matter what we do people will always whine and invent conspiracies to suit their agendas. It also always seems that other people know best on how to run this forum. I suggest those users band together and create their own one if they think they can run one better.
