You have to ask: What's the point of this forum?

I say its to have fun, meaningful, informative
dialouge...AKA BITCOINTALK.

How does buying and selling of accounts contribute
or support that in any way, shape or form?

It does just just the opposite, IMO, and I haven't
seen a good argument to the contrary.

"People are gonna do it anyway" isn't a good argument.
I still think it should be discouraged.

People either buy an account to make themselves
appear as someone they are not (either a noob
who wants to appear a seasoned veteran, or an outed
scammer who wants a fresh start)... OR MAYBE, just
maybe they plan to use the account to participate
in a signature campaign, which puts their main
intention as making money, not contributing the
to the forum.

And thats the same mentality behind selling accounts.
Its just selfish profiteering that has no legitimate
purpose for everyone else that just wants to talk
about Bitcoin.

People complain about the quality of posts here.
Well, this sure ain't helping and as long as
the powers that be keep me on default trust,
I'm sure not gonna support it.

Neotox,if you want to stop selling accounts, I'll
remove the negative.

I don't believe in double standards either.
If there's someone else selling accounts, PM
me and I'll do the same.

It doesn't mean I'm agreeing to police anything,
but if its brought to my attention and its
blatant as it was here, I feel perfectly justified in leaving
my opinion via negative feedback.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

People also can buy accounts because it is then easier for them to start up a business because if a newbie starts a new buissiness then most people will not pay any attention. Although most accounts are used for signature campaign, but still not a valid reason to give neotox a negative trust.
Mayby he only buy and sell accounts and he does not earn from his alt( alts wear mayby no signature).

Your point is stupid and not real. Why would people trust someone that is Hero member just because he is a Hero member, you shouldn't do that and im sure it's not the case. I haven't seen anyone having problems promoting his website, everyone starts without trust, you build trust slowly, buying an account just to promote your site would make you look more suspicious.

Who determines what's a good reason to give negative trust if trust is not moderated?
