Re: What happens if someone sells an account on a neighboring forum?

IMO it's a who cares. What you, or someone pretending to be you, at ANY other forum does not matter.

Here regulates here and there regulates there. Lets assume I setup an account someplace else and I teleport my account there.
And never use it. And then for whatever reason it gets compromised. That account then does bad things.
But...I never used it and I don't care. Why should that matter to me here. If I then go in and remove the proof here that it was me there what does it matter?

Because:

1) The account was compromised and is was not me so who cares.
2) It was not compromised and it WAS me, but you can't prove it.

Either way, it's a there problem not a here problem.

This is an interesting argument and I can definitely see your point.  The last thing we want is for people to get used to trusting a name regardless of what forum it is on.  Telegram is a good example.  I don't use it but am constantly asked about deals I'm supposedly escrowing.  I've even had people in this community get angry for things that I supposedly said on Telegram, which is odd when I know it wasn't even me...  Granted a teleported account is a little bit different because this account authorized it, but I can see your point that a reputation here stays here and doesn't go with the name to other sites.  I'm just not sure how I feel about it.  I guess everyone should always be careful and if you think you're talking to someone from here, do yourself a favor and talk to them through here.
