I've noticed listed scammers are still allowed to post and often brag about the scammer status, why keep them around? And what prevents them from signing up again?

They are scamming because of their psychological hash envy issues.

I'd like to add this user

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/bitcoindesktopticker-108199 - BitcoinDesktopTicker

He is a hacker he made two posts

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/--201594 - Litecoin Desktop Ticker! (BTC-E)

Both link to a mediafire link which I scanned wit virustotal and it came up blank however on dbl clicking the file it executes and throws out an error
but creates entries in your Appdata/roaming folder and your startup registry. The virus is a well encrypted and Fully Undetected RAT.
he will be able to see what you type and gain access of your computer so please be careful I have reported him.

Ah man people are trying to RAT members here?
How do they sleep at night.

Lists of scammers are always welcome. But no one should be making scammer accusations without proper evidence. Suspicions are not enough. A proposition below price isn't ground to trash publicly the reputation of someone.

I wholeheartedly agree, that's why I haven't added the person in question to the list.
This is not necessarily a scammer list though, just a beware/take caution.

use an escrow service to avoid scammers.
what's escrow? Smiley
Escrow meaning you find a very trusted member to be the mediator between you and the person you want to exchange.
You send BTC to escrow, other person sends LTC to escrow, escrow sends you LTC and him BTC.
The person might charge a fee.

It's not necessary for the escrow provider to touch both sides of the trade if delivery of one or the other side of the trade can be established beyond doubt.

So for example:
Buyer sends payment to escrow
Escrow tells seller payment is received
Seller sends LTC to buyer
Buyer tells escrow that goods are received
Escrow releases funds to seller

Given that the block chain can track all steps here,  the chances of someone scamming and convincing the escrow to release funds to the wrong party are small to nonexistent.

Ah but if there was no block chain you'd have to trust the buyer to tell escrow to release.
I see your point though.

Apply it to the scammer thread -

I think you're a scammer. You tried to sell me 1k CNC at 25 LTC. That is like 1/3 of its value LOL. Keep trying to get your post count up, scammer.
