Agreed. These scammers will also hover in auction and goods section waiting for offers to go up, so that they can message potential buyers and push through a quick sale with a newbie account name that looks similar to the seller's.
Piggybacking on this idea. There should be restrictions on newbie members making new topics outside of the Beginners section.
I agree, I think we should bring back the newly created account limitation and limit them to "Beginner's and Help" for a certain period.
The evil part of me wants to start a dialog with them and play along until the day I take their precious and use it to fund a crypto class for cops.
I do this all the time in the Bitcoin-OTC channels, we should partner up.
I agree with tomatocage , maybe post it in the "New forum software" section and the various devs can "add" this new feature.
I don't think it would be too hard to implement in the current forum software.
