Respect my lack of authority.
Rereading my post, I don't see much of a point either. But what I wanted to say was, some trackers are difficult to get into and giveaways don't help. So if one (who wants to get into such a tracker really badly) has to turn to trading as a last resort, what is so bad about it? (It's consensual too unlike your jessica alba example) Clearly he wouldn't have taken the trouble, if he could get an invite for free. Besides, OP seems to be bringing free stuff to the table as well.
It doesn't seem to be consensual on the part of the tracker and in this case that is the only party that matters .
Also no one "needs" to belong to any tracker so badly as to necessitate lying to get into it.
Is it fair that everyone can't belong to certain trackers?No of course not but I would have hoped that the choice between being dishonest or not being a member would be a more difficult one.
Btw rewrite 'bringing free stuff to the table " to "looking for the quickest and easiest way to increase his rep count" and you will be closer to the truth.

As IdolEyes787 has mentioned, it may be dishonest trading accounts to get in, but I don't see how one can attack lying if it leads to a win-win situation. Yes I have offered a TT account in exchange for FTN/HDBits in another thread, and I understand TT doesn't allow account trading, but think about what the better outcome is - I keep TT, where I will probably get banned due to inactivity...or trade it to someone who will actually use it, in exchange for something that I will use. Thus I see no harm in trading accounts.
IdolEyes787, who do you think you are? The master of human behavior? The savior of the world from ignorance? Or just someone who thinks they're so awesome that it's ludicrous... I'm sorry for opening this GA, I was trying increase rep, not trying to offer something to the community - just because you said so.
I apologize for "attacking " you because clearly you are not just morally but also mentally deficient.
It's OK to lie as a means to an end .Try justifying that reasoning when someone screws you over using that exact twisted logic. See if you still think it's so OK.
You only signed up to TT during the brief open sign up so that you could try and flip the account for something else ,a fact that you readily admit to. The harm as I pointed out elsewhere is that in doing so you deprived someone that actually wanted to be a member the opportunity .
As for "trading it to someone that will actually use it" , overlooking the fact that by simply not signing up you would have done the exact same altruistic thing you assume that the person that you trade to will "use " the account to do more than buffer it.
Now as an obviously experienced trader you tell me how many traded accounts end up actually being used as opposed not just flipped again for the "next big thing"?
Of went that's how you already defined "used'
Once again I'm not trying to make you do anything, I 'm only offering an opinion on what is transpiring .I don't think that especially makes me a master or savior of anything in particular.It certainly doesn't make be better than you in anyway except maybe honesty.
As so cynically giving away invites purely to build rep ,I think I already said that.
