Looking at the Report Malware and Suspicious Links here so Mods can take Action ! thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/report-malware-and-suspicious-links-here-so-mods-can-take-action-5182222Most of them are in Alternate cryptocurrencies > Announcements (Altcoins) which is a cesspool anyway, but beyond that most of the posts that get reported & removed are locked topics. They are locking them so people can't post warnings in the threads.
Not allowing for locked topics could probably alleviate some of this.
That or just give lafu and a few other posters in the reporting thread their own ban hammer / delete ability.
Stay safe.

I'm sorry dave, I'm afraid I cant support that.
Lafu was pushing exit scams on members and is likely responsible for millions of dollars of members lost funds.
He also directly supports scammers. He must not be given delete powers for any threads or posts anywhere.
Not allowing the threads to be locked is a better idea. This is more sensible.
For actmyname but what would prevent people coming to that thread via google links?
I also don't agree alt announcements is a total cesspool there are still some interesting projects on there.
Perhaps though there should be a separate board for tokens. I see more scams pop up and far more frequently for projects that dont maintain their own designs or at least have their own bc.
Maybe reports that are for malware should be super priority for mods so they are removed super swiftly.
Worst case on a locked thread all links are auto deactivated and if you click then a warning appears that offsite links on locked topics are risky do you wish to proceed for sure? Maybe that could help.
Still yes locked topics being held down below active topics is a good move just that you will still get people on those threads albeit in a reduced number so that could be a help.
