Very helpful post.
Jr./Full member is tied to post count, specifically. That is why the member type alone shouldn't account for much, if anything. Just today I saw a member who has over 500 posts with an account just 17 days old. I have been around since Jan 2012 - older than some, not older than others - and have just recently become a full member myself.
Mark,that helps a lot.
But how can i become a full member

Was there talk of an escrow bot? Wouldn't that fix the scamming issue?
What I find funny is that so many people complain about my trolling yet I'm likely one of the most honest people on this forum...sometimes brutally honest.
But never scammed anyone nor ever intend to.
It is always the self proclaimed saviors that offer x% on your money if you send it to them blah blah blah.
Scammers in my book are the equivalent of PUSSIES who are too afraid to go hack it (no pun intended) on their own. Damn mamma's boys.

I disagree with a few of the points.
100%? NEVER? I trade with newbies all the time. This is a ridiculous stereotype of members here. This is just retarded.
No, this correlated with my response to 0.
Look at my name. My username is my First name. Have I ever scammed anyone? No. I use a combination of my First and Last name on some forums. Ridiculous.

Oh, yeah, cause females don't exist on the internet. Sexist? Probably not, but this is not true.
0. Newbies, NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH OTHER NEWBIES, EVER. There are plenty of veteran members to do business with and ALWAYS use escrow. If you're a newbie and you're doing business with another newbie, there's a 100% chance that you will get scammed (or you're a scammer yourself). I can not stress this enough.. just work with people who have been here at least a year.

When I was a newbie, I traded with newbies. You just gotta analyze the situation in more depth, because this point is too broad.

^^ Listen to this guy. He got 1000 LTC stolen right from his own BTC-E account, so he's definitely the picture of perception and awareness.
And want to know the awesome part? I got 2000 LTC back from the same dude that hacked me. I ain't complaining.

Scammer awareness is a great way to further prevent the issues that have been arising recently. It's becoming such a joke really.
Thanks for this topic, it's a great way for people to realise the environment they're dealing in.

Point 0 is absolutely correct almost 50% of the time. You'll agree so if you were getting the mountainous scam report PM's like I get daily...

Simran, I agree. People are quite stereotypical around here.
Really pisses me off.
Good post.
Like all "human sciences rules", those "characteristics" certainly don't intend to be exact (alright, the 100% on newbies is an exaggeration, but to exaggerate is part of the way someone makes others aware of certain dangers), their goal seems to be to raise reservations on certain members based on past experience. Some scammers do adopt female names as a way to better scam men or adopt normal names as nicks trying to inspire trust.
I wouldn't make a list of suspects based only on those "characteristics", out of respect for their reputation, but, from a collective interest perspective, it might be very useful.
