Agreed, creating a type-1 flag for sold accounts is an appropriate usage of the system. Individual cases can be debated on their merits, though; for example, these points of view could all be defended:
- Some people think that trading an account is an inherently untrustworthy act in 100% of cases.
- Some people think that trading an account is usually untrustworthy, but is OK if it's made extremely clear that the account traded hands.
- Some people think that trading an account is OK unless active deception is used (eg. lying in order to say, "this is not a sold account").
- Some people think that a little lying is not enough for even a type-1 flag, and a flag is only merited if there's also some additional underlying shady behavior; in other words, account trading can only further degrade an existing untrustworthy act, but cannot be considered flag material in itself.
I specifically do not want to decide which of the above is correct. The flag is an appropriate usage of the system in any case, though.
Tl;dr: It is a correct use of the system to flag any sold account using flag type-1. I'll be this thread as a dumping ground for names and just use it as a reference for everything; feel free to join.- Some people think that trading an account is an inherently untrustworthy act in 100% of cases.
