Well I did say "pretty useless", which gives margin for it not being completely useless and still be operative depending on the context. The core context of this thread nevertheless is related to merit, and merit is for the most linked to ranks and campaigns, so in someone I thinking of trading merit for sex services, then that is likely to lead to a campaign context eventually, where red DT normally leads the account to be prohibited from participating in the campaign.

Outside the campaign/trading areas, logically the account can be used as usual in terms of browsing and posting capabilities.
