The thing you should understand about hypotheticals is they're not a substitute for the equal sign. When I present you with the hypothetical "why make murder illegal," I do not mean to suggest that !(proscribing account sales) = !(proscribing murder). There are, indeed, differences.

The text you have quoted was a response to TL;DR: "account sales are a necessary evil, better than they happen here than elsewhere."
If you feel that account sales are desirable, like gun sales in your example, feel free to explain why.

I don't care about account sales, I care about promoting free trade and open discussion as much as possible. I don't "allow" things because I personally find them desirable, I like them, or approve of them.

It's a general ideological position, this isn't going to change.

There are several other forums where people can go if that's what they want.

>I don't care about account sales, I care about promoting free trade
Could you explain to me why no other organization promoting free trade is, simultaneously, pimping scam/phishing websites, selling used rubbers, and promoting ponzis?

> and open discussion as much as possible.
Please explain how:
-Accounts being bought & sold promotes free speech.
-Sig campaign spam?
-Gambling/ponzi scheme subfora?

I don't want you to "disallow" things because I personally find them detestable, I hate them, or disapprove of them.

It's a general ~~ideological~~ commonsensical position, this isn't going to change.
