So anyone below a certain rank is automatically a scammer.
Got it.
Pretty much, I'd say 99% of newbie sellers using a locked self moderated thread to "sell" stuff are scammers.
And for those defending locked threads in the digital goods section how about posting some here that are not scam threads. I'll be waiting.
More likely 99.999%. I have intentionally lost $1 or $2 on a few of those threads just to prove to myself they are scams. And they were. Making an official "scam accusation" is fine and good but relatively meaningless. Digital goods & accounts section users should have extreme limitations to who are allowed locked or self-moderated threads. It is unfortunate but there are millions of examples in the "real world" of the good having to be inconvenienced due to the activity of a few bad. IMO it should be # of post limited somehow. Most scammers aren't going to make 100 shit posts just to be allowed to set up a locked scam for $20. SURE, there are myriads of ways to get around any limitation but that goes for anything people want to steal or cheat. Right now it's a free-for-all.
Just my opinion ... and you know what "they" say about opinions!
