open a scam thread in the right forum

would the mods of bitcointalk create a child board in the altcoin section where people can post links to potential scams and the evidence to support it?

They already have. It's called Announcements (Altcoins)  Grin. 99% of them are scams in some way or are only intended for their devs to make a quick buck off a pump and dump. People need to learn to leave them well enough alone.

ah people never learn.. iv watched so many people fall for the same scam over and over and they never learn.. someone launches a coin a flat out refuses to allow escrow to be used, runs a self moderated thread and he gets 143btc in investment... nuts!

It happens more than you think it would. And they don't know any better.

You can't really do anything about scams. You just have to take it.

ya im not getting scammed.. but many others might be.. :/ its looking the same as sharecoin.. (they actually launched a coin and an exchange.. then once loads of btc and many other coins had been deposited they made off with them)

Mods/admins don't moderate or deal with scams. The community policies itself over these matters.
I can confirm that. Moderating scams leaves too much room for authority abuse.

Hilarious is right. The best thing you could do to bring it to their attention is to report it, but that doesn't mean they'll do anything about it.
