Then ban all account sales and ban anyone that buys or sells accounts.

It is not prohibited. So no reason to ban the accounts.

What does not work for me is allowing sales and then tagging the buyer and seller with negative trust.

No one has to 'allow' tagging.
The trust system is not supervised by theymos or anyone else.

Negative - You think that trading with this person is high-risk.

I personally think that trading with anyone who bought his account (i.e. deceiving others into believing he is an trustworthy and/or long standing member of this community) is high-risk.

If you don't think so, you can simply ignore this specific trust rating and continue doing business with the tagged person.
It is not like the trust ratings contain "SCAMMER KEEP AWAY !1!!1!!11!one!!eleven".
They always contain the reason for the rating (i.e. account buying / selling).

Dont you see that a buyer could have a legit lawsuit?
He could force kyc on the website. Saying that bitcointalk is practicing deception by allowing the sale of accounts and then allowing tagging.

Lol, no.

No user can force a forum to demand KYC.

Just because user X tags user Y because of Z, the forum is not liable at all. That's nonsense.

I feel this policy of allowing sales and allowing tagging of a sale could create a legal issue for the website and for the taggers .

Your feeling is wrong.

Okay if you say so.
