Yeah I like this method as well
it gives you at least some pointers why someone think its a scam and if its discussion forums then you may get answers from someone that dont think it's a scam.

Informative and useful artical for newcomers. which person wants to know absolute information about this kinds of questions. I also suggest any person who wants to join with a ico firstly research about that and see which persons promoted it read whitepaper very carefully read their roadmap.
many ways to see how far ico is practically a scam, I think the most important thing from the track record of the team that is part of the project being done.

It are good point. What I mostly do is search for the image in Google. Sometimes I see the image on stock websites like Pixabay. To avert it the ICOs choose to edit the image and change it as example from colored to black-white. That is for me one of the things what is suspected by researching an ICO.
when I know the ico's legit or scam are the supporters only small and if their project information is slow and does not know who founders and co founders and if others do not know or are pretty familiar ico their project
