Selling Online Payment Processor's Accounts!

    There are few people selling online currency accounts in BST section and in my opinion it should not be allowed at DP. People are doing exchanges, fine but selling whole account (s) is not really a good idea. Selling account should be prohibited, What do you have to say on that??

    Creating PayPal account from a country which PayPal doesn't allow is against TOS too and even after posting this lots of time people don't stop doing this. So how can we expect they will stop selling accounts after we tell them? Only Admin/Mods can stop this thing from DP IMO

    offers to sell US bank accounts to non residents may also cause a problem. this is something i don't understand, how can you buy another identity?

    Banking rules and regulations in the states are quite restrictive. I had a bank with which I dealt refuse to let me open a CD for my sister even thought the cashiers check had both our names on it

    DP can't control people's thoughts. It should come from them. If they wanna use it they can. Like these Digg's n stumble exchange threads should also be stopped but they aren't coz you can't close everything down. Good point i support you but you can't close them but what we can do is report those threads to me and together we can bash them up in the forum for doing ill-legal business. :D

    Agreed Ace that we can't control all but we can report such threads/post to mods if they agree that this is not allowed. Otherwise reporting that would be useless. A rule about "Selling Online Currency Accouts" or something like that would be helpful in controlling that. And when we have a rule in DP everyone is supposed to follow that and those who don't "report" button and Mods are here for them :rolleyes:

    Well then if this can be considered then why don't Digg's and Stumbles be reported ?? After all we are breaking the TOS of a Social Networking sites there as well ???

    Think about it again. I firmly believe it can't be stopped although i whole heartedly support your reason. :)

    It may be difficult to stop but given the moderator key in your hands, you have the moral duty to keep this place clean from fraud as much as this is possible. Otherwise it turns into a torch and the more people get burned, the more negative feedback DP will get on the web. So I do believe things like this one should be kept under strict control.

    Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
    If people do not have the common sense to not get involved in such activities then there is no need to bring up these issues, if buyers can't take care of their own money its their problem.

    People can do it though. It's not illegal, it's just against TOS.
    PayPal can't do anything about it but close accounts under suspicion. =\

    If it's not illegal, I don't think mods should have to worry about it...it'll just add more stress and management to them.

    People sell ebay and myspace accounts too, even though they're against the TOS so I guess we can't solve everything ;)

    So this means you people want to say things should be kept the way they are going? I don't think this is a proper solution to this, this could tolerate more account sellers (apparently scammers) to buy/sell currency accounts and scam others.

    As I've seen few more threads today and number would be increasing significantly if no proper action is taken against them. For those who are saying Exchanging currency and doing stumbles is against TOS too but Selling a whole account is completely different thing. Come on Guys

    It means we can't enforce the TOS of products/services that are not owned by DP.

    Does DP promote the breaking of terms and conditions of other sites? Basically the answer to this question is yes.

    Ignorance is not the answer. The question how much more can DP take before it gets banned from sites? Not much in my opinion.

    Get shawn to do something about it, or this forum will end in a disaster.

    Give me a break Rob, that's a lame and inaccurate comparison.

    Sorry, but in my eyes, basically this is what DP is doing at the moment.

    I don't care about other peoples opinions, the fact is that some companies, digg imparticular, are probably sick of banning 1000's of dublicate accounts of DP members.

    Can you please do something about it before it is too late? I would hate this site to get any worse than it is right now. I am speaking for the members here, not just myself.

    Regards,

    Rob

    Just because there's not a policy against it doesn't mean we support it. That's like saying since you link to a directory in your signature that lists illegal (in the US at least) pharmacies you must support people violating US laws to get some vicodin. Maybe we should have a policy that ban people who link to things that link to things that break US laws?

    That doesn't make much sense. You don't care about people's opinions but you are worried about how Digg employees feel and what they might be tired of? Who cares how many people Digg has to ban? That's their issue.

    We've stated hundreds of times at this point that we can't/don't/won't get involved in member transactions or disputes. People need to use their brain before they enter into transactions or deals and take some responsibility for their own actions.
