Most of the times, all I can see "Scam accusation" is full of X airdrop scam, X coin fake airdrop scam, X coin phishing scam.
What is wrong with warning people about a certain airdrop or phishing scam?
Unless the scam is being promoted on Bitcointalk, I think it's pointless to warn people here against random site X. People who visit the scam site through external links won't see the warning, and people who see the warning weren't going to visit the site in the first place.

There are thousands if not millions of scams outside Bitcointalk, and only 36 topics on the first page of Scam Accusations. Let's make those 36 count!

Even guest users who have never registered in the forum can see the warnings if they tried to use the search engines.
Maybe I have lower expectations from people who fall for obvious scams. I always assume their the obvious victims are blinded by greed and lose all common sense. I just assume "bounties" are spamming scammers and stay away from them.
Rhetorical: Should we be creating topics for search engines, instead of for people?
