I did indeed sell 1 account 3 years ago for my buddy
Do you understand my concern that you have multiple people on your trust list who have given out thousands of Red Tags to other people for the exact same business activity that you engaged in, yet none of these people left you a Red Tag? Do you see the conflict here?
Do you mind if I answer here? I get the feeling the community responded less strict against account sales 3 years ago, than it does now. When I joined this forum, there wasn't nearly as much spam as there is now, and account farming wasn't a full-time job yet. Selling one of your own accounts to a buddy isn't the same as creating accounts on a massive scale with the sole purpose of selling them.
I was surprised to see yahoo's trust farming thread from 2014. But it only took him 1 reply from Vod and 10 minutes to realize it's a bad idea, and lock the thread. Let's call it a rookie mistake.
