I think you need to at least explain your comment and let the users of Poal understand when and under what circumstances you will transfer the ownership of an account.

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about:

In requested that the gabara account be transferred to him. I laughed when I saw the post by Dizzbit because my initial reaction was "Yeah we would never do that. That is a horrible idea."

Well imaging my surprise when I see this comment from PMYB2:

Well considering the issues that I've had with that account and the fact that I've handed it too someone before. If you really want it, I'd need you to come on mumble and have a conversation with me before I considered handing it out to someone.

The important bit being:

I've handed it too someone before.

why would you ever hand one persons account to another person for any reason? Can you please explain your thinking and logic on this one? Why would this ever be a good idea? I'm a big fan of transparency... it keeps us all honest. Even if you did this with the best intentions it seems to go against the concept of transparency. How would users know that suddenly someone different is posting under an established account? Even if unintentional, how would this do anything except confuse, deceive and mislead the users of Poal?
