IMHO, we should at least start banning confirmed serial scammers.
This. I don't even get it why aren't these users who are 100% confirmed that they're scammers aren't banned. Their thread is still living though it's locked and trust hidden then using autobuy link.
This seems like a trivial thing to do and isn't really prone to abuse. Moderators could verify the claims via their trust ratings. Those autobuy links tend to be very annoying, yes.
Some users still fall for it especially newbies. Anyway, it doesn't changed the fact that they are confirmed scammers and should be banned and the thread that are used to scam (especially this "trap" threads) should be put down.
I think we should disable "hide trust" exclusively in Marketplace, Auctions and others that I forgot to mention that involves trades.
Another issue that got my attention yesterday was Beginners & Help. Someone offered people help to claim BTG and asked users to PM them. However, they have been sending users a link to some website that asks them to input their private key(s). Tl;dr to the issue: Trust ratings are not visible in that section.
This is a major issue. The trust rating's purpose is not delivered well. This should be brought up to the admins and implement this (we can't wait for the new forum to be done in an indefinite time to apply crucial changes).
