Where to start.. well it's going to be a long one..so sit comfy folks.
First, jrmyolvr, has been caught and suspected of cheating on almost all sites he's a member of. Proof? Sorry, You'll have to take my word on this one, as I won't post Private convos. But, it is true. With the matter of cheating, would anyone here really want a used account that's suspected of cheating to get banned for the prior owner ? I really don't think many do. I know I wouldn't.
Second, as jrmyolvr here has wanted to post and warn others to beware, think for a second.... don't you all think that staff and other members of sites don't do the same for their own communities to keep them safe?? Everyone does it. It's called "Being loyal", and it's not a bad thing to be called.
It was a matter of time that he'd be caught by ANYONE...so pointing the blame and ranting rude remarks at one person, was a waste of type.
Third, why is trading accounts bad? Many reasons, it's hard for staff on sites, to distinguish members with two or more different ips. Sometimes an innocent member could be banned for such things as the prior person was cheating. I also tend to use the same nick everywhere I go, so I wouldn't want anyone else using my nick, or making me look bad. You may not know "who" you are trading with, as mentioned it could be authorities. It could be anyone. If people keep using careless tactics like this, there will be no more sites for anyone. If jrmyolvr traded his account to a member of the mpaa, and got several sites closed, I think you'd all be calling HIM the names instead tonight, for being the cause of one of your fave sites going down.
When a person signs up to a site, they enter into a contract type thing. Where they agree to abide by rules, keep a good ratio, yadda yadda, If you want out of that contract, giving an account to someone else is not really the way to do so. The thing is, that "contract" is between YOU, and the SITE, not jimslim, or bob, or joe. Breaking your end of the agreement can and in most cases will result in a ban. I'd say about 98% of site owners and staffers do not tolerate account trading. Hence why when it was found out that jrmyolvr was quickly banned from many of his accounts. (Word travels fast)
jrmyolvr, you shouldn't be so pissed at someone for something YOU did. It's YOUR fault you broke the rules and got caught. Nuget or whoever else that may have seen this thread were not the ones breaking the rules, that was You buddy.
Lastly, I know many of you are pals or friends of jrmyolvr, but if you think for a moment of what his actions have done, or might have done, from a different point of view, Pretend if you must that you are a staff of a site, and this guy is a danger to your site being demolished... I'm sure most of you would react the same way in banning the guy.
It only takes ONE bad trade, or even an invite, to lose it all. That's not worth it in my opinion
