"With alt accounts essentially comes the trade with accounts."? That's like saying "A right to shoot you in the face essentially comes with the right to own a gun." What kind of fresh idiocy is that?

There are reason limitations are put on brand new accounts.
Yes, to decrease spam. Its probably mostly effective against the automated kind though. The limitations have been worse in the past. A discussion in meta with your newbie account would have been signigicantly more difficult while we still had the newbie jail.
Those reasons have nothing to do with being able to afford a fraction of a coin for an aged one. If you think Satoshi started this forum so that you can make money buying & selling accounts & spamming here, you're mistaken.
Things change over time. Sometimes the change is positive, sometimes not. Your opinion that the development is bad is just that, an opinion. It is not the fact you try to make out of it. Whatever Satoshi would or would not think about the discussion at hand is irrelevant. They decided to fade into the shadows and let others handle things.
All stuff that's obvious to stray dogs & slow children, why must it be explained again and again here?
Really? You are the one thats hijacking thread after thread with this topic. You drag it back into the light whenever you can. Your points are always the same. Even this little back and forth is already spinning in circles.
How do you suggest to solve this problem in a way that is decreasing the chance of successful scams? By an admin saying in some thread that its bad?
Banning the sale of Bitcointalk accounts
right fucking here, on Bitcointalk, by trusted members & forum staffers who love them might make the practice less common. Again, why does such obvious stuff need to even be said?
So your only solution is an outright ban that
might be a solution? Cant you see why this is not acceptable to others? You have nothing to offer but the hope for maybe a little bit, while at the same time creating a very difficult situation for the staff. Your suggestion is as efficient as the prohibition of drugs is helping addicts. Besides that you apparently want to keep the possibility or right to have alt accounts. Thus the only thing your solution would lead to is to drive the sales elsewhere. You would not keep a single scam from happening you would only affect those that trade in accounts for other reasons that are not related to scams.
Spam is a problem, but I currently see a very healthy development in that regard. BadBear has cleaned house enough to reach the elborated spammers, signature campaign managers actually care about the quality of their participants and act against spammers. There also have been several lengthy discussions about the topic and my personal impression is that the community in general is keeping an eye open in that regard.
