Ive viewed the one youve shared, that link profile. First thing i notice is the red negative trust on that account. So the DT members or the administrator himself have made theyre job done. If some newbies will still doing transactions with that account, it is not the forum or moderator has the problem but that newbies ignorance.
This forum is open to all and it means even to that scammy guy, so it is now our responsibility on our own to avoid them. The option of banning over and over again will not work because they can make a new account again and again. Giving them negative trust is the best thing to do.
Right, scammers will always be here. That is for sure, but my concern is the methods in which they boost themselves up, manipulate their threads, and lock them. Those are things that can easily be changed and save a lot of people from losing their money.
Not a lot of people give trust unfortunately. In his original thread there were over 20 users that got scammed by him, yet only 2 people left negative trust. Just an example.
Newbies or not, bitcoin is still quite new to a lot of people and its heaven for scammers. Why not make their lives a little more difficult by not allowing them to manipulate their threads, and boost them as recent and lock them constantly? That will make quite a big difference.
I see the same sellers, doing gift cards, cracked accounts, scam methods that are doing things in this way. If they aren't allowed to manipulate and lock their threads and boost them whenever they wish, they will have a MUCH harder time scamming people.
