See iluvbitcoins

That's the exact situation I didn't want to happen again when I was made aware of grtthegreat selling this account. When I started tagging account sellers in 2016, I always checked their feedback first and if they were extremely trusted, I didn't neg them. OmegaStarScream was one of those if I recall correctly. In addition, I've removed negs from account sellers/buyers after some time has passed IF they've shown proof that they've done trustworthy things and haven't been just a scummy account dealer.

In the case of iluvbitcoins and grtthegreat, all the evidence of trustworthiness was already there. In the former case, I chose consistency in tagging sellers over weighing in other factors, like his trust page. I regretted that and didn't want to repeat the same mistake with grtthegreat--plus he gave me his word via PM that he'd stop accepting BCT accounts as collateral and wouldn't sell any more accounts. Take that for what it's worth.

If any other member thinks I made the wrong decision here, I completely understand--and you're obviously free to leave grtthegreat a neg if you see fit to do so. I'm reading all the replies here and am trying to gauge how the community feels about how the tagging should be done. My feeling is that each case ought to be looked at individually, because there are sometimes mitigating factors that would suggest that some account sellers shouldn't get negged, and perhaps a neutral would be more appropriate if any feedback had to be given at all.

Not all account sellers are the same. There are ones who should clearly get tagged, e.g., in threads where the OP says he has multiple Sr. Member accounts in stock and is obviously an account farmer. I really don't like the fact that grtthegreat sold a green-trusted account, and I'm glad it was identified. I figured it would be with the info he gave about it in the sales thread. I almost changed my mind when I found that out, but I didn't.

If you think I screwed up, please tell me. As I said, I was conflicted about this just as I was with the iluvbitcoins case, and I'm open to suggestions.
