Yes, we have done in the past. And after a few reports, a moderator contacted us and said that unfortunately scams are not moderated! So, us reporting to a moderator about a scam would not do any good. DT can tag them, and a moderator can delete some duplicate threads for what we have seen so far. But still, the forum admins need to do more about scams, such as BAN the scammers and lock their thread once proved. In this interview we mentioned about that lack of moderation.

I have to agree with you but unfortunately rule changes that you are looking for are not easy to be applied since the forum admins are also busy in other matters and I haven't seen any rule/forum change since the merit system was introduced particularly when the 1 merit requirement for Jr. Members was set. What do need to happen is to rely heavily on DT members tagging accounts related to ICO scams in order to prevent as much damage as possible, also what you are doing on posting warnings on their ANN thread is a good enough way to let other members know that they are a scam. Good Job man. Keep it up!!!! https://medium.com/talkbitcointalk/as-a-crypto-community-we-have-a-responsibility-to-protect-its-moral-foundation-a378ece19a29
