For reference, here's an actual case of financial loss incurred as a result of this scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2835521.0 (No doubt there are many more; this is just the first one I found.)
I'd gladly risk a blacklist over this, but the problem is that nobody is allowed to support it without risking blacklisting themselves. The system actually de-incentivizes supporting any accusations, which makes no sense.

Theymos stated:

Creating or supporting a scammer flag is actively affirming a set of pretty clear fact-statements. If someone knowingly supports a flag containing incorrect fact-statements, then that is crystal-clear abuse, and I will seek to have such people removed from DT ASAP. People who are habitually wrong, even not knowingly, should also be removed.

It seems that it is fine to support a flag, as long as the accusation is based on clear fact-statements and doesn't contain false accusations.
