Re: @PrimeNumber7 is an alt account of @Quickseller

It was just a matter of time before the more intelligent account farmers figure out how to work within the merit system.

You mean, like, account farmers who create quality posts and actually contribute to the forum? I call that a win! Until it's sold to a shitposter, but they shouldn't last long in a signature campaign, which makes them waste a very expensive good account.

Liberalism has damaged your mind if you consider that as a win. It's all fine and dandy until someone gets scammed, but hey at least they didn't shitpost after they bought the account. Roll Eyes

Come on, re-adjust your risk-reward assessment.

You're right on the scam-part: A fool and his money are soon parted, and there are many fools in crypto.

If I look at Scam Accusations, most scams have nothing to do with account sales. That's why I mentioned spam as a possible consequense of account sales.
You could of course argue this is because account sales are heavily frowned upon, and instantly tagged, so cause and effect could very well be in the right order

There's a strong economic deterrent, or well there was (not that much anymore) for this. The incentive that The Pharmacist, I & co. created by going after account sales is that the people actually try harder to integrate (or well, try not to get caught being a shitposter with a bought account that quickly), which is better than the former. Other than that, there's no way to estimate the data on effectiveness (or lack thereof) of either approaches.

What some of you guys seem to refuse to accept is that a super majority of people are naive, slaves, sheep. This is reality, fact, indisputable. No amount of education and "let them learn the hard way" will fix this inherent nature of most of humanity. Therefore, I choose an active deterrent rather than praying and hoping for the best. Standing by and watching harm that I could have prevented be inflicted to users makes me no better than the perpetrator.
