By the way, I don't see any reason why account selling or transfer of account should be allowed in the first place. It's not that difficult to create a forum account so why should account selling be allowed? But Since the forum already permits account selling, who am I to challenge it?
As it was said multiple times in the past, if the forum would disallow this or would impose some more difficult rules, people will just sell their accounts somewhere else.
- Formal announcement should be made prior to change of account details such as email and password with a signed message
- All deals should be completed with prove if possible
- Accounts from hero to legendary rank should not be allowed to change email in order not to be able to sell such accounts.
Yeah, this is not gonna happen. Since buying/selling accounts is usually for shady reasons, nobody would say that publicly, since red tag will follow sooner or later.
- Accounts not active for a year should be temporarily disabled and can only be activated after passing some verification that seems suitable by the administrators.
This may not be such a bad idea. Would certainly make hacks less worthy/fruitful.
But this means that everybody will need to have a bitcoin address stacked, since it's the only clear verification the forum has. And this is not a requirement now.
