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.
If they are truly a newbie on the forum, why should we trust them?
Are you saying its a good thing that a newbie can come on the forum,
pay a few satoshis, instantly appear more trustworthy, and then
use that appearance to start a business where people will be
sending them money?
This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I'm trying to discourage.
I've always had my doubts regarding selling accounts, especially to newbies and even more to users with negative trust. However it's allowed now.
Directly leaving negative trust is not the way to discourage something that
could happen indirectly. I agree leaving negative feedback would be deserved if someone sold an account to a user with negative trust; didn't warn when he realized a former buyer was trying to scam; or didn't help to stop him; or
willingly helping a scammer in any way.
But to establish a no-account-selling policy further discussion is required. Even if admins just limit to "it's allowed because it can't be prevented" or "it would happen anyway" you could start a thread to ask for non-admin-but-trusted-members' opinion. There we could discuss the implications of having that practice strongly discouraged.
DT members' non-neutral feedback is/should be more than just an opinion because it can render accounts green or red.
