What is the point in asterisking out Instagrams and YouTubes?

They don't get banned or suspended? Look at my shop "Hope's Shop". I have had that up for a year and nothing has got banned lol. Like Philly said; no one is watching FK. Your shits fine if you post it as "example" and not ex**mpl* half the people can guess what you thing is anyways when you asterisk like 1-2 characters. Sorry for the rant I just don't see the point in asterisking them.

It is pretty annoying when people do it but then when I make a thread I always worry cause some people complain that their stuff is getting banned.

It doesnt matter what forum you are on, the internet is a public place and is under surverallance 24.7 from all types of people. To be honest op i wouldnt post what im selling just for my safety and to the other persons safety in what im selling. I think its a good idea to keep it low but thats my opinion, but you have a point i guess in whatever way you look at it.

Not to mention it would be unethical if a company banned/suspended an account without proof that the person claiming to sell it is the actual owner of it. As far as ROI goes they won't even bother.

Instagram is definitely not watching fucking FK lmao. My shop is proof that you won't get banned as it clearly has 5x more views than most threads selling instagrams.

YouTube has never given a shit about selling accounts, unless you specifically wrote on the channel itself, people are idiots on here and on H-F.

I suppose it is better to have a policy of "better safe than sorry," however, if they actually cared it would be easy to find out the full account name. Asterisking provides a false sense of security.

The reason why people asterisk out usernames is because the account cannot be banned unless it is fully visible, no matter if there is a hint there or not. Xbox accounts are the worst with this, as Microsoft has no problem banning accounts and prowling forums to find accounts being sold.

For example, Selling the Xbox account: Stup*d. BIN: (x)." would not get banned.
However, "Selling the Xbox account: Stupid. BIN: (x)." would get banned.

It's a small thing, but it saves a plethora of accounts at the cost of slight inconvenience.

I have never understood this and it is absolutely pointless. People can be so dumb.

Yeah, let's put a stop to these fuckers taking extra precaution to keep their accounts unbanned! Who do they think they are?!

OT: it's because people are overprotective, nothing wrong with that.

Like I said neither instagrams nor youtubes are getting banned on fk. It's like getting a vaccination for a disease that doesn't exist anymore.
