how much do these guys pay for an account? Its something like 0.01 BTC for a full member isnt it? It would take months to earn that back won a sig campaign, and ...yeah... bans...

   It's ridiculous to me. Sig campaigns don't bother me (obviously) and neither does buying accounts, but I cant see why anyone would spend money to make so little in return, and probably just get banned on the way.

   sig campaigns should just be gravy for the bitcointalk junkies like me who are on here a lot and might as well get a little reward, but its so little TBH that it is certainly no income I am relying on.

   Shouldnt this simple logic discourage the whole practice of buying accounts and sig-farming? Am I missing something, or is it like faucets? some people cannot not believe they will make bank wasting all their time collecting pennies?

They're usually busy with other stuff so details regarding bannings are of least importance but maybe BadBear will offer some input in here shortly. Best you can do is keep bumping the thread every once in a while.

The only staff that can help you get your account back are the admins. And the previous owner could by lying or it may have changed hands several times.

No. Either a mod or the previous owner likely would have deleted them for whatever reason.

What is this rule? Could someone explain it to me. I never heard about something like that. Are you trying to tell me that posts of older long-inactive accounts are being deleted?

I don't know if you are actually participating in a discussion or trying to increase post count and thus, payment. This is same with admins. They can't know either. So you should put more effort in posting. Honestly, your posts looks spammy to me.

If the seller's other account got banned so will be yours. You took that risk when you bought it.

Were you posting from another account and this account you bought? If so then it's considered a ban evasion and hence it's a permanent ban. You can send the admin a request after 30 days.

hi man, i have a problem like you
my account got banned with no reason
your last account is back or not?did admin here explain their reason?

This is an issue if you are buying an account. You don't know how many times it has been banned, and if any other account of the seller, whether it is still in the seller's hands or sold gets banned then yours get banned too. Even worse, your main accounts then can get caught in it.

Conversely, if you bought an account and spammed with you the seller is in trouble. There is no way of knowing if the account was actually sold or faked.

Best thing to do, make your own account and contribute.

this must be your 3rd time getting banned so this is permanent?

I'd say an unhealthy (for you) conjunction of signature campaign, recently bought account, hardly substantial posting and a crack down on sig spam will probably be your reason.
