I haven't discussed this with Denise at all, so caveat lector, but my personal feelings are that there are probably a couple of situations that we care about. Things like: * As soon as we open, someone gets invite codes and registers a bunch of accounts: harry, draco, hermione, ron, etc etc etc. They then make a post in a community and say "I am now selling these accounts, $15/each!" If someone does that - squats accounts for the purpose of selling - then I think we should try to put a stop to that behavior. That, to me, is an abuse of the service. * You happen to have a few accounts you've used actively for a while as part of an RP community. Now, you're done with that community, or no longer interested in the Batman universe, so you trade your "alfred" account for someone else's "bart" account so you can go do Simpson's RP. That I would be okay with. It's natural usage of the site. (It leads to a lot of questions about account security, so there may be bridges to cross and tackle, etc. But I support the concept and don't see anything wrong with it.) * You have, for the past months/year/whatever been blogging as the 'nicole' account, since your name is Nicole. Someone offers you $100 for the account so they can have the name. You agree, make the transfer. This is more gray, but I'm okay with it still. (Heck knows I wanted/tried to buy the 'mark' account on LJ!) You didn't get the account with the intent of making a profit on it, so it falls onto the 'ok' side of gray for me. ... So basically it comes down to: are you trying to be evil or is your motivation making some money off of you getting an account first? If so, I don't want to support that. Either way, Denise will probably have more of a strong opinion on this. It may not make sense to allow any of it from a support/abuse perspective, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. :) -- Mark Smith / xb95 [email protected] _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
