You might ask, how can we stop this? Whether it be through linked forum accounts, access codes, etc, I would prefer to prevent these situations than to seemingly condone them."
You either can't read, or are just trying to avoid anything that goes against your assumptions of how "safe" account trading was before the evil GM's "changed the rules". Its obvious that people knew that there was a definite risk of having all your accounts linked.

change in Rules - such as forbidding of account sales - is not the same as change in condition of how account data is stored and secured. Why weren't sales forbidden from day 1? If they were not forbidden - they were effectively allowed. Since this is not a democracy and players do NOT make their own laws, the GMs are responsible for anything and everything that happens. Which includes both - creation of laws or lack of such.
When I do something, I base my actions on conditions that exist today or are foreseeable in the near future. I cannot possibly foresee such future where another country will start a nuclear war tomorrow, or a volcano with erupt under my house.
Introduction of SMS system completely overthrew previous system that people were basing their reasoning and risks on.
I do not approve sale of accounts in general. But if you are the GMs of the server - you take responsibility for everything that happens which is not explicitly stated in the rules.
