It is a strong point. Of course they would argue that it can't be stopped so why not have it out in the open?

But it is indeed a HUGE problem for credibility and it creates a playground for whoever wants to manipulate the discourse for whatever purpose.

I find it interesting that this transparency about the sales of accounts does not seem to apply to the discussion of large-scale and well-funded organized campaigns of the buying of accounts.

Every time someone mentions it there are threats and attacks.

Of course I am not saying it is easy to counteract but it does threaten the legitimacy of the entire forum.
