Title: Topic locks
Post by: NLNico on March 12, 2014, 10:46:36 PM
Hello,

I find it unique that people can easily lock their own topics here. I can imagine this can be great, but it also helps scammers a lot.

Just look at these topics:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=513184
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505086
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=508110
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=500660

Obviously this is just 1 guy trying to scam on multiple accounts.

Shouldn't we be able to post to these topics to warn others? Can there be like a limit of member group before you can lock your own topics? I would be also happy to report these for removal, but I think "possible scams" are not really removed here either. Or would "report for unlock if obvious scam" be an option? Or "Lock" could be enabled only in some forums? (doesn't really make sense in Currency exchange)

Perhaps no one is stupid enough to fall for these scams.. but I am not sure about that. Would be good if we can help the naive.


It is btw great that Tomatocage is adding negative trust as warning. I could also add neg trust but no one would notice as I am not on trusted lists, so I would prefer to reply instead.

 I SUGGEST EVERYONE TO PLEASE CHECKOUT THE LINKS AND POST THERE HE IS CLEARLY SCAMMING IN OUR COMMUNITY !!!   >:( >:(



Note: this guy is actually quite funny though even after getting so many negative trust ratings and scam shouting posts on his thread he is still making new accounts and posting there pretending to be a fake buyers regardless of the fact we all know that he's a scam and he won't get a cent from anyone now  ;D ;D ;D
