Reserved vendor names on forum

[Skirmish]

Welcome everyone. We have taken the liberty of registering some of our favorite vendor names on the forums before other people can.

If these Vendors would like their forum name, please reply to this thread with a PGP encrypted message which others can verify. Once verified by users, we will send you a PM and go about transferring the account to you.

Unfortunately we do not have these vendors public keys so will be relying on others to verify.

This is pretty uncool—this should be a job for the admins. You are guaranteeing that these vendors will have a pain in the ass time getting ahold of the account that they're due. How in god's name are they supposed to find this obscure thread after they realize their handle is registered? Have you tried contacting the aforementioned vendors?

You also say that you "do not have these vendors public keys", which proves you really haven't thought this through at all. This information is available if you spend a minute looking for it. At the bare minimum, you should locate these vendors PGP keys, encrypt the random forum password for their account to them, post it publicly here and attempt to contact them privately however possible through other sites. But really, you should just stop account squatting and these usernames should be released.

I agree. I am deleting all those accounts. You have just made it 100times harder for all those vendors to sign up.

if someone makes a fake account, then the real vendor can message me and if it can be proved I will delete the imposter.

Thanks, Sarge! :D

Vendors should never post in the forum with a tag beside their name saying vendor. That's evidence and breaks opsec.
They should restrict all business to the SR 2.0 (if you build one) and not cross contaminate on the forums. Find any SR vendor on the orig forum and look through their 1,000 posts you will find intel.

From the looks of this, seems to be a case of attempted cyber-squatting. How petty.

"transfer the accounts"? Meaning the OP took advantage of this entire unfortunate debacle and registered well known vendor names in hopes to sell them back their names? Please.

I have taken the liberty of registering our favorite Law Enforcement Officer.

If you would like your forum name, please reply to this thread with a PGP key which others can verify.
Once verified by users, I will send you a PM and go about transferring the account to you if you hand over our seized Bitcoins.

Unfortunately we do not have your public keys and you are hiding somewhere on this board.
