>If there is a system, there will always be a flaw. If account sales are banned, people will just find new ways of buying them and then all trust ratings will be considered valid which will in turn cause more scam.

Not sure if joking or can't read:

That said, a forum created to advance Bitcoin is not necessarily the best place to sell guns.
Or to double as an online scam bazaar.
Or as a casino.
Or a place where usurers prey on degenerate gamblers.
Or as an MLM ponzi promotion vehicle.
Or a banner ad platform.

If you & thermos didn't, in all your wisdom, endow it with all these trappings of petty scumbaggery, account sales would not be an issue.
See how a problem could be solved by thinking outside the box? Smiley

There is a reason why my bank doesn't have a roulette wheel/gun shop/guy selling used condoms/hookers sucking D in the lobby.
Guess why that is.

ELI5:
- Stop hawking shit on an internet discussion forum, and you wouldn't need any kind of trust system, flawed or not.
-Stop promoting ponzi schemes (illegal pretty much everywhere, and certainly in US, where thermos hails from), or have no foot to stand on when mainstream press paints bitcoin as the currency of scammers and idiots.

>Over and out
Have a nice one, QS Smiley
