Is the account on DT? Nope. Does the account have any reputation at all? Nope. Who is he harming? Not 1 single person.
Bottom line, he is dishonest by not making the account for himself. I agree 100% but I also think this is no different than people who sold accounts in the past and have not been tagged. This is something that happened awhile back and probably just needs a neutral tag IMO and for everyone to ~ the account so they can never make DT. Account buying and selling is not illegal, just frowned upon. My personal opinion is red tags should only be given when reputable accounts are found to have changed hands.
I completely disagree with what is in bold. A crime should be judged independently of who commits it. And I don't know what sold account not tagged you are talking about. I have seen many red tagged for being bought or trying to sell them.
That said, I partly share the sentiment you and Hispo have, because this guy is not someone who has swindled half the forum out of tens of thousands of dollars, he is someone who lives in a poor country and is trying to make a living. But there are many people on the forum in poor countries and they don't take the illegitimate fast track.
But at the end of the day, as I said before, maybe he's lucky and his manager keeps him in the campaign. Surely you would accept him in your campaigns if you were managing one, yahoo62278. Maybe other managers as well. Red tags make it more difficult, but not impossible to join campaigns.
Totally entitled to your opinion. You made my point though, the guy is from a poor country and is just making money via sig campaigns. With him not able to make DT via ~from multiple people, he wouldn't be harming anyone. You guys are free to do what you want, I have no ties with the user. I just wouldn't tag him.
Far as me adding him to a campaign with neg trust, I have added users with neg trust before but I would have to review the post history before considering it as well as why the neg trust was given and if the company is ok with it. In his case the reason for the trust would not hinder me from adding him as long as the company was ok with it.
