Giving respect and getting scammed is two issues altogether. You wouldn't believe the amount of scammers we get here. Remember that giving ID and address does not mean anything in the bitcoin world. I have seen countless cases where there is all information on the scammer and yet the lenders cannot do anything.
why would You let that known? It opens the door for even more scammers if they know that to be the case.If known that lenders would not do anything.  it makes dishonesty come out in people that would be to scared  to scam if they thought they would be in trouble if they did so.
That's not a secret or anything. In fact, it's a common knowledge. Sure, the scammer would be ruined reputationally and professionally as his dox and stuff would be plastered across the internet, but the lender is screwed either way. It's a lose-lose situation for both sides. The lender is out of his coins, and the scammer from the prospect of a good job etc.

OP, you're taking this too personal.

If someone rejects you, just move on.

Getting a loan is not a right, it's a privilege. Too many think it's their right to have one and many are also just assholes.

^^^This.


If you want to ask for a loan without looking like a scammer, ask somewhere you have earned trust. Your bank and family are the best places to start. If you have earned trust among the Bitcoin community, then you should have a good chance of getting one here.

There is also numerous Jr/new members that I would lend to in a heartbeat. Posts are not a way of measuring credit-worthyness.

Well I'm very proud of them but if that's the case and you believe that true then have fun drinking coolaid at a jones towns event. I Dont have that mindset where I think I know everything. I have humbleness and a willingness to give people a shot.

Full member for lending? Nah, it's easy to get to such amount of posts. See constitution for example. He's a prime example of another account being pumped. Better still is the six-sense accrued after so many lending posts here. The seasoned lenders/readers in this section can practically smell a bad loan (where the lender is a bad credit and has next to nil repayment ways) or a scamming loan from miles away now.

Well I am now understanding why. After reading the threads for a minute or two I see where you worry comes in. I just have a problem with
having people Passing judgement without even getting to know the person.

 It like why even let jr. members post if they just get accusation's posted because they are new and don't know any better that is uncalled for. just up the lending post requirement to full member and people would not feel pushed away like I felt when I first had someone think or suggest that.
 Also a up side would be if that thread was hidden un-till one day when you least expect it you become full member and your new and exciting privileges are there that you never had before.I think they would care about a lot more then. By that time They would be established and not prone to scam or be called one and feel alienated.... Just a idea that would Fix your present Problem that  looks like it takes up way to much of your time and effort trying to combat.  Plus it puts scammer fresh in your mind so your think everyone is out to get you .
