User swordman6996 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=685252
has modified a post I made in thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1463720.0 to make it appear as though I am vouching for him.

I sent him nothing and have received nothing from him.

Here is the initial post (Thank you Quartx!)

NB - I seriously thought that the thread would be deleted after reporting it however it has not yet been deleted.  Lesson learned!

Can vouch that swordman alters posts to his liking and deletes posts to his liking too.

Meanwhile can anyone tell me why lending sub allows self moderated topics.

This swordman guy posted a topic about doubling btcs prior to the lending thread with almost the same motive, to get a quick scam.

mentioned thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1463723

His mentioned btc address 1JfXYdwxdHnN7aM9juq9cK9GGmeD1oyquj

Said user is also buying postive trust as seen from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1463754

All are self moderated. All has deleted replies.

Archives as follows (At point where this reply was made, not at origin of post) :  

Lending thread (Which totally looks like a investment and rounds thread) http://archive.is/ANZoR
Games and Round thread http://archive.is/4BXQZ
Buying trust thread http://archive.is/ypWi7

I totally understand that Games and Rounds is like gambling and potential scams will not be removed, however the other 2 threads are reasons enough to label as a scammer.

Just assume that anyone who is running a self moderated thread is a scammer and your problem is solved. There are very few legitimate reasons to make a self moderated thread and it looks very suspicious if you're using one while promoting a service. I'm sure the staff will get round to it eventually, for such a blatant abuse, but they have limited time to investigate so many complaints.

Doing this type of thing with a post never occurred to me.  It was a good lesson for me.
I'm glad Quartx grabbed a screen cap of my original post.  It's nice to know that the community will rally against scammers.
