Hello community. I decided to share my thoughts on the trust system and generally informing other users about scammers or any dubious users.
I apologize if this topic has already been discussed earlier, but here I will share not only general phrases, but also a vivid example when I realized that the flag and trust system sometimes does not work at all.
I apologize for the pictures not in English, but this user, whom I will use as an example, is the most striking example of my reasoning.
Earlier, I have already raised the topic of showing the trust counter in all altcoin sections of local boards, but as it turned out, many users believe that it would not hurt to include it everywhere.
And then I again remembered my old thoughts about why this forum pays so little attention to informing other users about all sorts of scammers and dubious personalities, such as spammers, bots, cheaters, purchased accounts, etc.
The entire DT system actively fights against plagiarism and ban evaders, including being severely banned, permanently. And scammers ... they are not even moderated.
I have never understood the priorities regarding bans and moderation, because the main threat to the crypto community is not plagiarists, but scammers. But no one touches them, they are not moderated, they are not banned, they are only given flags and negative feedbacks in the trust, which are not always shown. Yes, compared to what they do with bans evaders and plagiarists - these are generally benign conditions.
If they are not removed and moderated, why not mark them as brightly as possible so that everyone here and everyone can see who he is. But even here there are serious flaws and I personally communicated with such a user who lost money due to the fact that users are poorly informed about scammers and suspicious users. So here's a live example:
We have an account seller in the Russian locale who created a self-moderated topic. Of course, DT members massively gave him negative marks. It would seem that everything is fine, but ... no.
A newbie appears with a fresh registration date and writes that he was cheated and he lost money. I am writing to him why you did not pay attention to the reviews, it was also written there that you need to stay away from this user.
He replied that before buying he carefully looked at his topic and his page, there was nothing like that there. Of course, the OP deleted all the warning posts, but of course he left his post about the fact that you can buy accounts and it is safe. This played a cruel joke on that newcomer.
After his story, I looked into the trust from the perspective of a guest and was surprised that there is no trust
Why the most basic and informative is hidden. It could have saved that newbie. Why hide it for forum guests?
After this story, I hung a flag for this user and now forum guests see a warning
But why not post this warning to everyone. This will not be superfluous for anyone, neither for the legendary nor for the brand new.
But instead, we get this tiny hashtag in front of the trust, why there is such a meager emphasis on hard things.
Yes, if the flag is hung up to the user and it is active, it should be visible to everyone at once.
This function is already there, I agree, but it is not for all flags. This is well implemented here.
But again, not in all sections. In many, it will be shown as if it were an ordinary user.
Although this is a deceiver, wherever he appears, it should be immediately visible that this is a scammer, he must shine all over and be noticeable with a large sign DANGER
He cheated the user for money, and everything, as if nothing had happened, continues to use the forum, his trust is not visible everywhere, everything is fine and it's okay. No ban, nothing, but the poor plagiarist will grab it in full and forever. The forum is fighting the wrong people. Why is there so little information content? Why are scammers free to use the forum?
It would be nice if all dubious persons received the corresponding badge opposite their nickname, if the badge is warning, then they can mark all sorts of bumpers, bots, sold accounts, cheaters, farmers, etc., for example:
And if this is a scammer, someone who has default a loan, scam promouters and other evil spirits, then they should be marked with danger, for example:
These plaques could be hung like flags by voting of the DT members.
And everyone would immediately see who is in front of you and whether it is generally worth listening to and dealing with. Moreover, it would be shown to everyone, in all sections and regardless of registration. I am sure such a system would have saved many of their money.
Conclusion:
The biggest threat to the crypto world is scammers. No one is pleased when he is deceived and he loses his money. Information is our everything. But the information is open, and not difficult to access and generally not shown to everyone. The forum has excellently organized a section on scam investigations: Scam Accusations. It remains to organize a similar service to display all dubious users, so that all this is available to everyone and everyone, and most importantly is visible.
Thanks for your attention. I'm sorry for the mistakes. I am happy to read other opinions on this matter.
