Yeah it might be a good idea if a user has a trust flag and at least 10 more supporters than opposers on it...

That would mean someone's ability to PM depends on who's on DefaultTrust, which varies quite a lot.

If a forum rule is created for confirmed scammers and is enforceable by the mods based on a certain criteria, wouldn't that make trust moderated?

Yes. And that's why I don't think this will ever be implemented. I'd like to see this implemented, but it won't help much anyway. A scammer can just PM using a Jr. Member account without any negative feedback anyway.

The administration should find a way to disable those with malicious intent from doing their dirty work through private messages

I don't think it's going to help:

Honestly, I think that someone that naïve can't be protected.

There's another thing: this forum aims to be as free as possible, which is one of the reasons why scams don't get moderated. Another reason is that Mods don't want to decide who's a scammer. I think the Trust Flag suggestion is the best so far (apart from the variation in DT).

Quickseller for instance has an active flag with many supporters, but I wouldn't want him to lose PM-privilages.

Hasn't he got a type1 flag which can be for any reason?

Type2 and 3 flags are the only sensible or credible threshold for "scammer" that we have right now.
If someone is a confirmed scammer why would you worry if they lost their PM privilege.
Makes zero sense

Besides if QS wants to reach out he can use primenumber7 or one of his others.
I see no reason not to delete confirmed scammers accounts.
The counter arguments are kind of weak considering the state of the trust system.
