if a person wants to register his own account he has to wait in line who are to be approved. if he can't wait, he can always buy. but then again, the bought account can possibly be tagged - thats the catch.
Looks like someone is trying to earn that sig. money? 
theymos could easily identify/control farmed accounts. Much easier than me.
I concur. A fair amount of these accounts could be easily detected, and it's quite trivial to handle them. Either just ban them all or wipe them from the database.I have found hundreds more not-yet-published farmed accounts. theymos will have seen those accounts too.
Now imagine how many more accounts there are that you have not found. More and more genuine people are leaving this place due to this very inaction. We could run this discussion infinitely though.
