Upgrading someone elses account.

[Admins]

This is not really simple, the problem is that the account needs to be blocked when someone does credit card fraud. Eventually there could be some way of authorization by the owner of the account, but it could still be abused.

Well, this happened to me once. unixmad basically gave me a certain amount of time to have my account legitly upgraded before facing a perm ban.

Just don't credit the time to the account until the payment is irreversibly complete.

Well, it took almost half a year before my first account which was upgraded for g2k1 gralats was banned for ( i re upgraded it right after - it seems it never got credited the last 6 months I was owed... but it was unbanned and classicified )
