Well a google returned nearly empty, and the trust feedbacks given to him are confusing as well. Now adding to that he is being controlled by theymos, has 0 posts but is a Sr member newbie, real confusing account

There used to be a ScammerTag for certain scammers with a red X under the profile name and special restrictions. E.g. they could not edit posts IIRC. I am not entirely sure how exactly someone got a scammer tag, but I know it was not given away lightly. This was one day removed and to keep those accounts tagged the user "ScammerTag" is part of the trust system to mark those accounts that had a tag.

In the early days, the forum would give out a "scammer tag" to scammers. After awhile they stopped giving them out (probably due to the work involved in investigating each scam), but existing tags remained on the accounts. Some time, after the trust system was added, the scammer tags were removed and replaced with negative trust from OldScammerTag.
