Why is this thread still not locked ?
Bloody scammer
Scammer or not, it's for the community to decide and police it. The forum's policy is to monitor the basics such as spam, off-topic threads, not scams.
The guy admitted to be a scammer
He might be saying sarcastically (not saying he was, it can be interpreted in a way). What I noticed that the moderation policy is to controll objective problems such as spam, flame wars and leave any subjective problems for the users to fix. This is a libertarian oriented forum after all, freedom of action, speech and such.
He wasn't saying it sarcastically; he was being mocking and just rubbing it in.
So is this actually a scammer-tolerant forum, i.e. scammers ain't banned, and their threads ain't locked? What other libertarianisms does it allow?
My goodness, I truly am a Lawful Good little mouse

The rules are somewhat paradoxical and contradictory at times. Scammers usually arent banned but spammers sometimes are, and each mod has a different definition or what a actually spammer is.
