To anyone who has been paying attention, OP just effectively outed himself as
Rambotnic.
Here's a good starting place for supplementary reading:
For TheymosI think scams should be moderated, just like every other forum I know of, but aside from that I appreciate the freedom this forum offers. And since scams (or potential scammers) aren't moderated, it's up to the community to warn other members as they see fit. That's why the trust system is the way it is, as messed up as it can be at times.
I think scams should be moderated _and_ the trust system should be used to nail scammers. There's no reason why we can't have both.
"But then people would think this is a safe space for non-scams and we can't lead them to believe that."
Absolutely nobody here thinks that.
