It appears to me that a flag is very clearly valid should SeW900 decide to create one.
Creating a flag requires the following:
- Must be created by the user who has been damaged
- Must have violated a written contract
- The violation must result in damage
There are multiple reasons why a flag is not appropriate:
1) There was no written contract.
2) IF you want to call that chat a 'contract', the terms were 'money for account'. Without an account being handed over, no payment is due. Therefore there was no violation at all. Neither any damage.
3) Rescinding from a trade is not a violation and did not result in any damage (Both would be absolutely necessary for a flag to be appropriate).
4) It must be created by @TrustedAccSeller. Why are you speaking for 'your friend' ?
I don't see anywhere that says flags require a written contract. I think its fairly reasonable to say that when you enter into a purchase agreement with someone, thats a contract be it verbally or not. The forum operates on reason, not legalese.
The damages were the loss of value of the accounts that you intentionally damaged.
Rescinding from a trade is not a violation, but purposefully destroying the value of the accounts as you publicly and intentionally did is.
Your own thread explains the whole process of how you first contacted SeW900.
I decided to use some spare time to get some accounts - which are up to sale - flagged.
I found 2 threads claiming to sell forum accounts:
1)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5155184.0 (
archived link): User 'SeW900'
2)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5139800.0 (
archived link): User 'Rueduciel'
Both of them contained their telegram ID, so i just went ahead and contacted both of them.
1)
The accounts provided by 'SeW900' (or better: @TrustedAccSeller on telegram) were:
According to him, some of them (the first and/or the second one) are already banned.
However, the remaining ones - which he wanted to sell - are not banned yet.
2)
The accounts provided by Rueduciel were:
I asked both of them to send me (user:
alice321, just created today to receive those messages) a proof that they indeed own that account.
1)
After requesting proof of ownership of
cicizhang and
TanClan98 from
SeW900, he told me that 'the account' already is banned.
Therefore he proposed me 2 other accounts, which i can buy (
zackie and
Zedster).
He told me to contact @TrustedAccSeller (via telegram), which i did.
After a long conversation with him and multiple excuses i brought up to not buy an account which he had proven the ownership of (because i wanted to tag as much accounts as possible), i finally got the proof of ownership of multiple accounts and names of a few accounts without proof of ownership.
The accounts proven to be for sale and owned by him (
zackie,
Zedster,
Ntrain2k and
narousberg) should definitely receive a negative trust rating.
I am not sure about the accounts without proof (
cicizhang,
TanClan98,
nonnakip and
pant-79). I'll let some DT member decide how to handle this.
2)
Rueduciel offered me
J Gambler.But he did not send me a proof for ownership because he noticed that this account already is reserved for some other buyer.
Therefore he proposed me the account
fitty, which he proved that he indeed has control over this account via a PM.
But now i really wanted to also have his first account (
J Gambler) to be flagged too. I asked him whether i can have this account if i additionally pay 50$ on top (not like 400$ aren't enough already).
He agreed.
Unfortunately i made a big mistake by leaving him a negative trust rating BEFORE contacting, paired with my sense of humor regarding the chosen username, which interfered my plan. He came to the conclusion that my alt (alice321) is related to me (bob123).
While it is not proven that
J Gambler is really under control of him, i still believe that he indeed wants to sell this account.
I am not sure about leaving a negative trust rating on this account, therefore i will let the DT members decide how to handle this.
fitty definitely should receive a negative trust rating.
Screenshots of the chat history:
Screenshot of my received PMs:
here and
here.
I have sent a negative trust rating to
fitty,
zackie,
Zedster,
Ntrain2k and
narousberg.
Now i need a few (at least 1) DT member to also leave a negative trust rating.
Especially for Ntrain2k, since he has 6 positive trust feedbacks.
No one should trust an account which is up to sale. Especially not Hero / Legendary ones and some with a positive trust rating.
