I'm willing to bet 5 BTC that if a 1 BTC or less donation option is offered while Bitcoin is under $200 USD, there will be a scammer with that 1 BTC status within the first four months. I'd have to have some sort of neutral third party determine if the person actually performed a scam or not, though, I'm open to suggestions.

Also, if someone wants to run the names of all the Donator/Scammers and collect the following, I'd be interested in it:
1) Name of Donator/VIP
2) Date they registered their account
3) Date they purchased Donator/VIP
4) Date they appear to have first scammed (best estimate might be needed)
5) Date they appear to have gotten the scammer tag (best estimate might be needed)
6) URL of scammer thread

Here, I'll do R-:

My guess is that R- would fit the mold of the typical Donator/VIP scammer and the admin/mod reaction to it.

Here's how it goes:
Someone registers and then buys Donator/VIP within the first three months of their account if not under one month, performs some regular business and enjoys their status, then within four months after getting VIP, totally screws over some poor soul willing to do a hundred bucks worth of work for them and doesn't receive a scammer tag till 6 months later.

That said, the trust system helps immensely in getting early warning signals in. As Thomas Jefferson once said on liberty, "I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it." The trust system is liberty and a free market. I'd rather be exposed to a slew of negative ratings by individuals upset over something someone said than see people getting scammed by Donators/VIPs/whatever the new 1 BTC status would be.

So did you ever get paid Mush? See, she took a loan from me for 10 BTC, and she said she would have paid me back a long time ago, but she never got paid for some work. Now due to the terms of our loan that we set as a joke at the time, she now owes me 1.8 Million BTC, as we set the terms that 200% interest would compound daily after our initial 1 month agreement.

So... if Mush doesn't get her BTC soon, I'm going to have to break her other leg. And trust me, she doesn't need any more deformities. R, could you live with yourself knowing that you are making some poor hideous woman even more hideous as she falls deeper and deeper into debt?

BTW, Mush, it will be 3.6 Million BTC owed in 1 hour and 20 minutes, so you better hurry the hell up.
