Being labelled a scammer would indicate that they've already successfully scammed people, if they've done that then they've likely already made their money and would move onto their next scam. They're not exactly going to continue to use that account for their next scam now that the account has been outed, therefore making the scammer tag worthless imo.
I think the scammer tags have actually been discontuned (we now use the trust system instead, which IMO is much more accurate)

Agreed. People need to be marked as scammers before they commit their first scam.
Problem is how that could be done. And if the staff would do that, then people would complain after getting scammed, that the forum didn't warn them.
I thing the current situation is as good as its gets.

I don't think there is any need for automating the Donator status, as there hasn't been any recent donators(last one was in January 2014, please correct me if mistaken), so I don't think we need a system more 'automatic' than the one it is in place right now.
Tag will appear after they get X number of -ve trust, say 50.
That could be easily cheated by someone or a group controlling multiple accounts.Option for applying sub-ranks manually shouldn't be removed. Is Theymos planning on lowering donation? 10 to <= 6 and 50 to <= 25 or 30?
Kindly,

No, there aren't any plans for lowering the donation sums. Kindly,
