This thread is very damning..
How much scam is enough scam to do something about in in a widespread and consistent manner?
This is what bothers me with this. If this continues, i.e. we do not do anything in said manner, then this will set a precedence that some scamming is acceptable which is very dangerous, and frankly just unbelievable.

There is definite logic in that approach. After they were given permission to return to the forum they probably would have got banned within days anyway but I think I read there was wide consensus for yahoo62278 to handle things just for the sake of cleaning up the forum from spammers but with hindsight maybe it was not a good idea for the community to ask him to contain the Yobit campaign.
We need to keep a clear separation of the problem:
1) Yobit spamming - administration issue.
2) Yobit scamming and people advertising a known scam - trust/DT issue.

The current state of affairs is a display of complete failure on our end regarding point 2.
