I couldn't agree more that the reputation and scam accusation sections should be "read only" until a user gets to about Hero Member status. There are plenty of other sections that could also do with a little bit of tightening up - either as "read only", or, as hidden until you have progressed through the ranks.
Currency Exchange and Lending should be hidden until you reach member, if not senior member status while any of the "services" sections should be off limits (read only Vs hidden" until a user is at least member, or senior member to ward off the newbies wanting to join Signature Campaigns.

In my opinion those few posts are not big issues when we consider the amount of spam on other sections. I would like to have strict moderation on all over the forum because it is like we are again flooded with spam threads all over the forum due to the bull run?!

There seems to be more chaos in the last few months, as one might expect during a bull-run. Moderators will mod, all we can do is lend a hand when we see them overwhelmed. Report any post or thread that you think is off topic, or trolling without adding any value to the discussion.

It does look like one of those sections without much order to it.
Maybe a "dealt with already by community" and a "no longer active" section should be added on top of the current section..
The first being for a user who already has a trust flag and the second being for companies, groups or users to be tainted and searchable but aren't a threat on their accused account/website.

or newbies coming in saying some service, that is a known scam
I usually ignore the topics about random websites, it makes me think they're hoping to earn Merit.Quote
I dislike moderating things like this
Earlier today I reported a topic, asking for it to be merged. My report is still Unhandled. If it gets merged, I'd say moderation works fine.I don't expect it to become stricter though, as this forum's mission is to be "as free as possible".

Ugh, I hate saying this but it's getting to the point of not being worth reading.
For every good useful thread about something there are 5 worthless ones with people bickering, or newbies coming in saying some service, that is a known scam, that already had flags against them and 7 similar posts took their life savings.
Or new users coming in and doing stupid stuff and then wanting to blame the world (or just scamming / trying to hurt the reputation of others)
Or the endless discussions about how "XYZ" is a scam but the service shut down in 2017 and now it's just people complaining about funds they lost back in the day.
I dislike moderating things like this but I am starting to think good info is getting buried under crap and it's not doing anyone any good.
