I was scammed on this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1325618.msg13590577#msg13590577 which was locked.

This thread looks suspiciously simular https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347934.0 which is also locked.

I understand there is a feedback system but it's only effective after someone gets scammed. I don't see a good reason to allow a normal user to lock topics. User input and sellers reactions may prevent a lot of scams.

 

I said this already many times but they wont change it .. i also posted about the locked threads in here before. As a general rule, never ever deal with any newbies on locked threads.

Its not only that, but its simply too easy for them to scam around here cause people usually act after being scammed and even defend potential scammers cause they have no "screenshots" .. but in the end, basically all accusations become true and looking at the history of this board especially, or lets say, just a 6 months period ... how many of the accused turned out to be true and im guessing way over 50% (how many times u see a it was a "misunderstanding" ?) , so this way of thinking to prevent scammers doesnt  work for me - it encourages more to come.
