Why aren't the obvious scammers banned from this forum?  I was reading through scam accusations and have come across a lot of serious cases.  For example this user is a scammer that stole 20 btc https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=358020

I would consider these type of people much more harmful than someone that plagiarizes.

Quickseller didn't steal 20 bitcoins. He was "given" 20 bitcoins in order to peruse legal action against vod which never happened nor were the coins returned up until very recently I believe. However, I say "given" because it is very likely that QS and Tf were one and the same (the guy who sent him the coins in the first place), so the deal was just a fraud in order to scare vod. So maybe that's why staff don't moderate scams because they're not always black and white or open and shut cases.
