He still used deception to destroy the property of another.
No. I didn't destroy or damage anything.
Just because other people don't want to buy this account anymore because i shared non-confidential information, this doesn't mean that i did any damage.
It is the right of everybody to know which account has a trustworthy owner who has put a lot of effort and time into his account, and which accounts are simply bought and basically completely untrustworthy.
It is in fact equivalent to burning his product because it is now valueless as a result. The fact that account sellers need to keep their products from being revealed is 100% the result of the fact there are dozens of people on this forum who feel it is their right to go around policing the forum by whatever arbitrary metrics they deem valid rather than the forum rules.
So.. because THEY 'need' to keep it secret, I am no longer allowed to share that (non-confidential) information? Uhm.. no.. Definitely not.
I can share any non-private information as i wish. If someone is doing an extremely shady business which needs to have this information not shared at all.. that is completely their problem. I won't support a shady business.
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to buy or sell an account regardless of whether you or I personally endorse it.
Tell me three..
If some one is actively engaged in fraud this is completely a different issue.
Account selling is fraud.
They are helping other people (the buyer) to deceive the whole forum to believe the person is 'trustworthy' and 'reputable'.
The problem with what bob123 did is he engaged in
fraud to preemptively attempt to stop a fraud he suspected MIGHT happen.
Unethically? Maybe.
Fraud? No.
Rescinding from a trade and sharing non-confidential information is not a fraud.
Even if that is the reason that other people won't buy those accounts anymore, this doesn't make it fraud or scam.
And everyone still seems to forget.
The flag is inappropriate.. simply because
no violation of the contract lead to damage.
There wasn't even a violation at all. I did not get an account, so i don't have to pay for it. Simple as that.
Rescinding is not a violation. I never agreed to any terms which stated that rescinding is not applicable.
The accounts are not banned. Nothing happened to them. They are neither damaged nor stolen. I just shared non-confidential information.
Just because the majority of account-buyer don't want to buy them anymore.. this doesn't make me scammer.
I warned the whole forum about untrustworthy accounts. The fact that people don't want to buy them anymore just confirms that they mostly try to do shady stuff with them.
Except from that.. those accounts are still as before. No damage or anything.
