https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5049114.0 It's amazing how this forum actually supports and sustains scammers and scamming.

...it's just that there isn't a viable solution to nip their actions in the bud without becoming a censored dictatorship....
...I support the idea of not allowing sales threads to be self moderated or locked...

The forum can't censorship. It would be difficult to draw a line.
But it can certainly do something, like what you mention here plus showing some kind of trust to non registered users. It has been suggested several times and always ignored. Even if it's mainly the scammed users' fault, anything possible should be done to reduce it. Besides the need to help those users, this just increases the bad reputation of bitcoin that links it with illegal activities.

Censorship is not defined as NOT stopping illegal activity (THEFT). Censorship is the suppression of free expression but not the supression of theft just like the first amendment allows "free speech" but precludes yelling fire in a crowded theater when there is none. Do cops "censor" thieves when they arrest them for illegal activities ? This part of the forum condones illegal activity by not stopping the obvious thieves. Sure, sometimes there is a grey area but many times it's quite obvious especially in the cases of PS3o and YoutubeTV. There should be no question about them and they should be disposed of like the cockroaches they are.
