    I asked yesterday if I could create and sell level 2 yahoo answers accounts on here. I was told no accounts period.

    I was wondering if I could not offer a service where I get OTHERS accounts to level 2. A posting service but I DO NOT create the accounts.

    Again I am just asking so I do not get a infraction for trying to make some money.
    I want to follow the rules.
    Thanks

    Serious? I would be helping them get THEIR accounts to level 2 for a fee. Not trading or selling any accounts. It is not against the rules that I can see.

    I made a mistake, woops.

    How are you going to do it without exchanging/getting their account info?

    Temporary password is all it would take. I do see your point but it is a yahoo answers account with no personal info on it if they just make one up for promotion.

    People use these for promotion and they might get banned anyways, so people make up info and use them till they get banned.

    I just know people want this service and I would be happy to help out. I need the money anyways.

    Well I am worried the mods may get mad even though technically it is within the rules as long as I say they have to use a TEMP password and that they create the accounts not me.

    I really want to do this.

    The fact that people use them for promotion does not matter. People use Twitter for promotion too, and we don't allow Twitter-related services. People use social networks for promotion too, and we don't allow social network related services. Q&A sites are just another social media tool revolving around user-generated content, and we do not allow SM-related services.

    Well this forum has no problems with yahoo answers services:

    Or Twitter:

    http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1520981


    Take a look at the examples section on here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media

    According to that even forum posting is social media.

    Just curious why are you guys against me selling my service to get peoples accounts to level 2? It is basically paid posting.

    *NONE* of them are selling accounts. They are merely posting links to buyers website at Yahoo answers, they are not giving/taking access to accounts.

    Read the rules. SM-related services are NOT allowed here. If you find posts that violate the rules, then use the report post button. Don't assume that something's allowed here just because others are doing it. The SM rules here were designed to stop services related to 3rd party social media sites due to past abuse (Twitter, social networks, SU, etc. - of which Yahoo! Answers would be covered by). They do not apply to things like forums which are actually owned by the people hiring for the services.
