Thanks for splitting the thread.
Like said previously, that's precisely what the trust system is there to do. Trade enough and other people see this and trust you, scam and you get a nice big red warning on your posts in the trading sections.
If it's that simple you mentioned previously we would not have many scammers! It's not that simple;)Do you really want some INTERNET FORUMS MODERATOR deciding if your business is a scam or not? People are more than capable of making their own choices provided they have all the information, which is hard to get if moderators are being heavy handed. If they make dumb choices that's their choice to make.
Besides we tried it with scammer tags, know what happened? People still got scammed, then blamed us for it anyway, because hey, that newbie with a month old account doesn't have a scammer tag, he must be totally legit or the mods would have done something right?
If you're trading and you want to have a status as verified or trusted then maybe a couple of verification like linked accounts here and there to make sure that the community can simply eliminate you if you're scamming with one strike (or we can implement a 3-strike). It's not that hard to do with all the resources that the forum has on its hands. If you want to be the best, got to stay on top of the game and Bitcoin is a great example!Besides we tried it with scammer tags, know what happened?

Most of the scammers are newbies. All the scammers joining are new, so we can't instantly mark them for scamming, can we? There's a limit to what we can do, you realize.
