What exactly do you want us to do? I've already put up a warning for people.

I want new members to be safe and staff to ban known scammers.

Can you elaborate on it? Is it a forum policy not to get involved or something?
Many people are confirmed scammers with hard proofs and they keep scamming new members.

The forum policy dictates that the staff does not get involved with scammers. In other words, they will not ban someone for scamming.

That's why the trust system exists. You should have checked the user's rating and avoided trading with them after seeing the red from me.

Yup it's like any other feedback system in the world. If you use it properly you'll avoid scams. We've known this guy was an obvious scammer for a long time. Always check the trusted feedback AND the untrusted feedback.

Not necessarily,  though.  I've never scammed anyone here, yet I have tons of negative feedback calling me a scammer.  All retaliatory.   And I got scammed by a grern-trusted member who had no negs at all.  The system here is completely broken.  It boggles my mind that people defend it like they do.

That. Scammers tend to leave false accusations like a guy just did in my other thread.
People with clean trust scam others as well.

This forums needs some serious changes when it comes to the marketplace.
It's not good for the community not to ban criminals.

Davidxxx is in red trust, why did you go first to him?

he/she is active in forum now and still doing deals, even if another red comes most likely the account will still be active.
