And I want to insist on my suggestion regarding trust: guest should see some trust. Default trust would make sense but any trust. Non registered users are still being scammed by known scammers because they don't see the tags.

This is a problem that has no real fix. Scammers will then start sending manipulated screen shots or manipulate user to change victims trust list. Etc.
Again, I think it's good that default trust system gets no more space than it already has. If non-registered visitors saw some trust score / ratings, based on DT obviously, it would give more legitimacy to DT.

The scenario is simple:
- Someone looks for "cheap amazon giftcards" on Google
- A post on bitcointalk appears. He goes there
- An auto-buy link appears (posted by a scammer with red trust, with fake vouches, on a self-moderated, locked thread)
- The user can't see the red trust and doesn't know about self-moderated, locked threads. So he goes ahead and gets scammed without even PM'ing the scammer

There is a solution (maybe not absolute but far better than nothing) and it's simple. Showing some trust for them will drastically reduce the amount of guests being scammed.

Right. My concerns were for the targeted scam attempts. I wonder if threads can be SEO'd to make what you described a significant issue? Have there been cases like this?
