Why is this still allowed?


OP should get scammer tag for this

Has the OP scammed anyone?

If not, he obviously is not a scammer. Bitcoin is sometimes used in scams. Should people selling Bitcoins be labeled scammers?

Maybe someone just wants to have an account with a little rep attached so they can sell their stuff without the usual flaming BS typically thrown at new members. Maybe not.

Allowing this type of activity on the forum allows newbies a powerful warning right in their face, instead of keeping these activities (which cannot reasonably be prevented) in the depths of IRC. This forum contains some of the most powerful arguments in favor of really THINKING about all the risks involved in transactions which is required in a world without chargebacks and other fraud protection.
+1. Everyone commenting this is bad.  Take a step back and think why in the world you are on a bitcoin forum if you want to be babysat by mods/gov/father figures etc...
This is proof mods don't give 2 shits about this forum.
Why should they?  It's a free forum?
