Creating or supporting a scammer flag is actively affirming a set of pretty clear fact-statements.
If a website thas has an ANN-thread on Bitcointalk scammed someone, it deserves a red scammer Flag. But if the ANN-thread was created by a user who is no longer active, and the site is represented by a different user, can the thread creator still be flagged? I can argue the thread creator is innocent, but that means the thread won't get a scam warning.

I'm asking because I found what looks like a loophole:
I'm in doubt: A casino closed a user's account, and took 399 mBTC without valid reason. The casino's main ANN-thread was created by user eGoldgg, who last posted 3 years ago. The thread is "maintained" by user Buff88.
I'd like to show a scam warning above the topic, which means user eGoldgg should have a Flag. I'm in doubt if this fits the Flag-rules, but if it doesn't fit the rules, it means there's a loophole to avoid a warning on a thread.

The scammed user created 2 Flags, both type 2:

2816 Insufficient support. (Support | Oppose) GekkeBelg flagged eGoldgg (type 2, see why). Supported by GekkeBelg. Opposed by nobody.
2815 Insufficient support. (Support | Oppose) GekkeBelg flagged Buff88 (type 2, see why). Supported by LoyceV, GekkeBelg. Opposed by nobody.
