I saw that many users are selling their merits and hacked btctalk accounts, shouldn't these people be banned? What are the moderators here for? Why are threads like those even possible? In order to stop the selling of accounts I think mods should ban the ones selling as soon as possible. Most of the account sellers are going to try to scam you anyways, so they can make easy money off naive people very easily if they are allowed to do it here literally on the btctalk forum.
Each of the members in the forum are free to do anything they want, whether they are abiding the rules or not in the forums. Now, selling accounts on bitcointalk or selling merits are against the rules and policy if you caught in the act. Then, the usually things happens if they caught, the buyers who bought that btt account will be issue negative trust(the account that has been sell), that's the things I new about it.
