I suggest this be outlawed. I'm aware this will not be a popular suggestion as it seems everyone on the speed server is doing it several times a week. I am personally tired of seeing it, and it only leads to distrust in the whole system IMO.

If it isn't outlawed, at the very least accounts changing hands should be transparent for everyone reading the forum. Also it would be nice if there was a cap on how many times any account can change hands, and limit the frequency as well.

That is all.

you have to inform the admin, but its not outlawed, and i see no point in banning it, no reason for accounts to go to waist, its your account and if you want to trade it away i see nothing wrong with that.

then it needs to be made transparent for all to see, and limited.

the limit is the admins patience, he has said no before :p but i do agree with some sort of public way to show everyone that the account was switch, for example, the username being moved to the new account without consent.

Yes, I do believe we should have knowledge of those who might advance through efforts that are not their own.

I, by the way, disagree with the notion of 'wasted accounts'. When someone retires from a sporting event, he does not transfer his accomplishments to someone else. Either this is a competition, or a means for cliques to keep ahead.

Exactly. Good to see the proper usage and spelling of "waste" too. Lol
