Stop Scamming.

[rotteN]

This is a thought that popped up in my head a few decades ago but,
There is a system implemented where before an account goes up on sale it goes through a system were a reputable moderator or owner for example Mick would have a line up of accounts that he checks before they go on sale, so he checks the account details and stuff, he checks the account seller's past to see if he/she is ban evading and other things like payment method and all that jaz.
Maybe also a system were reputable members like glove have a pass to bypass the system.

Probably already been bought up in the past but idfc.

So, a list of reasons why this will not help scamming:

1. It does not prevent people from taking back accounts if they decide to leave/scam
   
2. it does not prevent previous owners from taking them back
3. Requiring the person selling to be the OG owner would decrease the amount of possible account sales to the point where there might just as well be none
4. Sales would slow to a crawl, since all these requirements would require a lot of time to check for each account, even if Doge worked with the same efficiency as Justis or M6.
5. Scams that take place after an account has been checked WOULD be rarer, but any of them taking place would make Doge (and other staff) partially liable, something that Mick (or the rest of the staff team, for that matter) will not accept
6. It's impossible to draw a line at 'reputable' members that's both fair and reliable. The only way that could come close would be manual approval, and that would create riots about "favoritism", which would likely be at least partially justified (subconscious bias).
7. It is unclear what would make an account (un)reliable. An account with a lot of different owners could still be legit enough, as long as the owners were all legit (a lot of accounts get sold among people on this site a lot). So blocking those outright would be foolish. Yet if even one of those past owners decides to be an ass, it would suddenly get taken back. As such, no single variable would be reliable. The current balance is probably as good as it gets. It takes enough effort to discourage casual scammers, yet it's not so difficult as to stifle the market

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
