I've just received this pm from a newbie. I have no intention of selling my account, and I'm not sure if I should report the user. What is the current attitude towards selling accounts? especially if the account is for a merit source.

Shit like this should be treated as nuclear war, i.e., blow his ass to hell with as many missiles as you can.  Give him a neg, report him, and lock him up in a gibbet right in the middle of town so everyone can ridicule him.  That's what I'd do circa 2016, and it's what I'd do in 2025.

Yeah, buying a 10-year old merit source account with positive trust and an excellent reputation....how bad could that end up being, right?  Fortunately I think he would have been caught very quickly if he made a lot of posts; his PM just doesn't read like anything you'd write, Jet Cash.

I need to find out more about Knots nodes, as I'm considering switching to one.

I've heard bad things about Knots, but I'm neither going to defend nor criticize what I've heard since my own technical experience with running nodes is sorely lacking (and I've never found the need to run one anyhow).

BTW, always glad to see you here.
