However, it seemed a good opportunity to display how useless the current tagging efforts are, that they literally dont even tag actual scam threats because theyre too busy trying to keep newbies off the forum.

Dont let that stop you from trying to find a way to turn my positive action into a negative though...
Why would you say such crazy thing?
I am happy that you have found scammer and warned community about them. The way you have presented this, well, it is whole different story.
