Except what Bob did wasn't scamming. It was just unethical.
Doing unethical stuff doesn't need to be flagged.
Account selling isn't against the forum rules but it is discouraged. If it is discouraged, you can fight them in unethical ways.
If bob hadn't revealed his identity, we wouldn't even be discussing this. You would be desperately tagging a newb account now.
Nobody would care and everybody except the hacker would be happy.
We are at a very different place fundamentally. Doing unethical stuff means getting tagged. What Bob did was unethical but it directly and intentionally caused SeW financial damage. Deception was used to financially harm another person, how is that not a scam?
I am strongly disagreeing with the ends justify the means mentality. If you rob a drug dealer, you still get arrested for stealing. Certain actions have lines drawn in the sand, if we start making exceptions, rule of law goes away. If someone can get away with scamming someone because they are doing something you don't like, what prevents me from justifying scamming you for something I don't like? Scamming is scamming plain and simple, there is no hearsay and no party is in disagreement of the events that happened, just their interpretation of them.
Party A was intentionally financially damaged by Party B. - Scam
