Now that I've thought about it, trolls/spammers = want to post stuff and hence the way of banning them is to keep them from posting, whereas scammers = want to get people to send them funds and hence the way of banning them is to keep their credibility next to nil, where a scammer tag or the new rating system does.
Let me help out with your logic:
The way to ban scammers is ... by banning them. No more posts, no more PMs, no more problems, amirite?
I understand this is theymos' sandbox, and he sets the rules. I'm fine with that. I guess i'm also fine with this half-baked apologia. Nevermind.
Please don't troll too much here. We need to keep this clean and respectful.
This actually makes sense keeping the scammers around for at least those reasons:
- Some were decorated with the tag and came out being legit, after all.
- If I was a scammer, I would MUCH prefer being banned than just getting a tag. Banned, just forget it, and turn the page, much easier, psychologically.
