The reason why is because it creates a perception problem (you seem to be affected). Nobody gets a scammer tag anymore, ever, under any circumstances. So not having a scammer tag doesn't mean someone isn't a scammer, it just means they scammed after the forum stopped giving those tags out. Essentially they are obsolete yet by remaining they are confusing.
When someone sees scammer tags this may lead someone to believe (like yourself) that they are still being used and thus not having a scammer tag is a good sign when the reality is that someone not having a scammer tag alone means nothing.
Any reasons or would you just prefer to use the trust system which isn't moderate unlike the scammer tags.
This. It isn't just prefer, they never moderate scammmer tags anymore.
I did think of the perception problem after I posted that and was going to edit it. I see that
would be a problem. I guess I didn't consider that because I'm familiar with both of the systems. But, anyone who doesn't know both of the systems could think that not having a scammer tag means that they aren't a scammer.
Thanks for the explanation much appreciated.
Should be a automated negative feedback put onto the account, otherwise a previous scammer could get away with it, I know that's why we have been given 7 days to put the negative trust. But, unless I know about the scammer and the suspicious activities it's been up to I don't put any feedback.
the guy is a pirate ? scammer?
