Account selling undermines our Merit system as well because Account selling is similar to buying Merit. Buying Merit is not allowed, too.

This is the strongest argument I have ever seen on BTT in favour of tagging sold accounts.
This is a bogus argument; there are tons of people who buy accounts with literally zero merit (Newbies rank) and zero reputation and build them to the highest rank; this is the internet, and there are people who prefer to join a forum or social media with accounts that have no connection to their real life details, not because they intend to scam with them, but because they do not trust the internet with their sensitive information. Are you aware that this forum stores the first registrant's IP address? Furthermore, the forum, like any other social media, does not prohibit buying of accounts
The DT system is only for scammers and high risk trade zones; tagging someone with zero scam history, who bought an account to participate in discussion and forum activities is clearly an abuse of the system.
If we wake up one day to find out that Yahoo62278, LoyceV or Royse777's accounts were bought, are we going to disregard all of their positive contributions and the current people behind these accounts and start tagging them to ruin them just because they were bought? Then something is wrong with our cognitive abilities.
Op you should have added a poll
