So, I present this question to the community: Is there any scenario you could think of where you would find account sales acceptable?
I can't, but that's just me. I've thought about the issue extensively since 2016 and every conclusion I've come to points to the fact that account sales are harmful, deceitful, and/or lead to future scamming and spamming. If there were exceptions to this, they would be in the extreme minority of cases and the perpetrators ought to know how much it's frowned upon and find another way to accomplish whatever they're doing.
Supported. I also like Theymos's stance on account sales with respect to flagging them and appreciate his input. And Lauda, obviously the trolls came back, so if you're planning on starting new threads you might want to make local rules about CH, TOAA, and all the other ones. I have them all on ignore but it's still annoying to see that they've posted so many times here.
