I voted yes. Reason being accounts are hardly if ever used for scamming or spamming. Accounts are rather expensive and with the community being quite cautious, escrow can be used or message are requested to be signed from an old address. It is very hard for any scammer to scam with an account bought. The change in posting times, style and sudden activity are clear indications. Spamming wise, accounts are usually marked with a high price and if any user scams, they would be banned from the forum, it's a waste of money. Farming accounts is rather bad but the community here requests high quality accounts for signature campaigns and most seller's don't spam up the forum due to this. Banning selling of accounts is too hard and would just push it underground. I personally sold several accounts and they were mostly used to spam constructively and none were used to scam. That's speaking from my personal experience though.
Yes, it is correct. Results will be shown only after the end of the poll otherwise people may change mind. So we will wait until poll finish to see the results.
I'm going with no considering that there has been some scams where sold accounts were used to scam, one example that comes to my mind is coinbooster. The sifter account was most likely a bought account.
And if anyone notices has a look at my recent posts they can tell that I usually do not interfere in selling of accounts but allowing account sales to happen is not the same as supporting/encouraging it.

If some one want to scam he/she will surely find a ways to do that but I don't think if any one sell accounts without green trusted accounts they can easily scam any one.
We shouldn't make it easy just because scammers and people who intend to do bad things are going to find ways of doing it that's why I voted NO to make it harder for scammers. Afterall you don't need to buy an account here, you can create an account like you are supposed to do and start posting like you are supposed to do.
Why wait for 5-6 months if they have the amount of btc to pay for one now? That is what I am thinking this buyers are wanting from all of this in the first place, that time spent is more valuable to them then the btc.
