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.

Any scamming incident is bound to have a two-sided story and it's not so clear cut. Trust system, though not perfect, at least allows users to comment on their trust and leaves the judgement to whoever is reading the trust. It's a lot easier to ban users for plagiarism or spam because what they're doing is wrong and the evidence is clear as day.

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.

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?

Agreed, such a system would've saved the user. However, it's worth noting that the trust system works based on the user's own trust list. It's easy to game the system if you were to show the guest everyone's trust rating; he can just spam to cover up the negative trusts.In trust-enabled sections, a warning is displayed for the guest if the user has more negative than positive ratings.

The forum cannot moderate scammers; it is simply too time consuming to review the evidences and the judgement can be biased and skewed. Shitposters and copy-pasters are much easier to ban in comparison. Warning Flags were introduced to help combat non-registered users from being scammed.
