Unlike in real life on the internet you can block somebody's I.P address or username and never have to deal with them again.
Is this a joke? Or are you serious?

And there's a "Ignore" button...
Internet is a jungle and you need to be smart to survive.

now I'm educated 
You can say nigger or bitch all you like here as well but it will get you put on some peoples' ignore lists, but yes, as others have said and I will continue to say from now until the end of time use the ignore list.

I guess its how i was raised. If there is a problem, find a solution.
In what manner does a ban solve the problem of naivety?
I guess the argument they will make is that banning them wont stop them from scamming; they'll just create a new account and start over again with a fresh slate.
I understand that. So cant they block that IP address to make it a little less streamlined for them? its like shooting fish in a barrel.
I think they do sometimes, but they'll just use TOR or a proxxy, so it doesn't really matter.
Scammers or spammers will probably already be using these, so that's why its futile.

If people choose to interact with known scammers, they deserve to be scammed. Who are you to tell them what they should and shouldn't do? Let stupid be stupid.

Scammers welcome!
Scammers roam freely after they have ripped people off? Why does the board have moderators?
This is just like alibaba. There are no rules. "Do business with trustworthy people." "Use Escrow" Of course, but when the scammers are admitting to scamming people and continue to chat in the thread and post on the boards like nothing happened, this is ridiculous. Ive seen message boards ban people for saying the word nigger and yet someone can admit to stealing $80 from a board member without consequence.
I realize there is no way of protecting everyone. Can the board ban certain people and use their IP to make it a little more difficult to sign up using a different alias? Sure they will attempt other ways of scamming but jesus make it a bit less easy for them. Set up a BTC anti-scam account members can donate to and hire someone to monitor the marketplace.
