Avoid referring the forum to friends and even family who we know have tendencies to become scammers, have affiliations with any known scammer, etc.
I get that you dont pick your family or relatives, but if your friends show signs of becoming scammers, thats your responsibility, buddy! You gotta surround yourself with better people!
Besides, I dont agree that we should avoid recommending Bitcointalk altogether. There is good info here and scammers will try to scam regardless.
