No, it is pretty off topic though.

We can post our private shitlist in public, can't we? (I mean, is it forbidden by the forum rules?) Just start a self-moderated thread on who in your opinion are scammers.
If you are powerful enough, people will just follow your thread, in addition to the SCAMMER tags (not) doled out by the administration of the forum. Or start your own forum. Bitcoin is open-source, and many people have yet to grasp the true significance of it.
No it's not against the rules, I think it's a good idea. |

It's an option when you create the thread.

A service support forum isn't a half bad idea. Service discussion is a pretty important subforum IMO and should be used more I think, right now they are scattered all over the forum. But it's also full of crap like "y u no work mtgox?".

I paid some attention to it this morning, thanks for the heads up. I look there occasionally but never really scanned all the threads like I do the others. Also feel free to use the report button, we do check them.

So scammer tags are like push-to-cross buttons in NYC? They don't really do anything but just cause confusion and you don't actually hand them out anymore? As long as people see people with scammer tags, expect people to ask that scammers receive scammer tags.
I'm just a single mod, not the forum, and I don't speak for the other mods. There are tags still being handed out, and there are others working on scammer tags. I don't think a scammer tag is the right answer for situations like this. It's why I favor a reputation based system over scammer tags. When a company has so many positive transactions, to ruin their reputation over a couple bad incidents when they may be understaffed/overworked/whatever, seems a bit like shoving them over the cliff because they tripped on a stone. I said something similar about BFL a couple weeks ago. Asking for a scammer tag is a little premature, it isn't obviously a scam, just looks like some incompetent boobs who have very little experience, and at least they have delivered in the past. Handing out scammer tags every time someone doesn't meet a deadline is just going to drive businesses away and may even dissuade people from trying new ideas or funding that new start-up that looks promising.
We should be encouraging businesses and new innovations, not shrieking for scammer tags over customer service issues or terrible PR, or missed deadlines (although I'll admit it is getting a bit ridiculous)....

See? Some people just can't handle others having differing opinions, and also can't have a constructive conversation about it, and choose instead to resort to attacks. It's unfortunate state of affairs. Why no scammers tag?
Because the moderators here are a joke. Moderators aren't your private nanny. Then why do they bother with scammer tags in the first place? I bothered because I wanted to help, warn people, and see people get what they deserve. It just causes drama, grief, whining, etc. so I just don't bother anymore, at least not publicly. When you abuse your trust and do it selectivly people will always react that way. |

Make your own forum, then make a thread with a link and work out a deal with Salty to sticky it. Best of both orllds.
Given how the average lifespan (ie when there's active users) for an alt coin is somewhere around 3 months.. Then I think a temporary solution like mine is an even better idea than another child board that will be useless in no time. |

I think it was a mistake.
Yeah that's what I told him, it's easy to do on touchscreens with no confirmation box, so I just unlocked it. |
