It's ridiculous as to why they are allowed making threads. I'd say a good >99% are made to scam. More at the same scammers coming back for more money, and other Newbies end up going first always, sooner or later. It's crazy. Why are Newbies allowed to post there? They can't post images, can't post more than once in a 6 minute period, yet the gates to scamming are left wide open.
Not to mention >80% of lending/currency exchange threads are useless garbage made by Newbies that are trying to scam or have no collateral. You have to sort through a ton of bullshit before finding an actual serious thread.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Totally agree with that. Maybe just hide the section for newbies or even Jr members. They only spam with countless threads only saying:"I have PayPal. I want bitcoin"
I just ignore the PMs from newbies that want to exchange. They find countless excuses for avoiding escrow, and if they don't agree with that, they'll leave you with red trust.
In currency exchange, 50% of the posts on page 1 are from newbies, which makes it difficult to search for a legit trader.

I also agree.If someone is new and wants to buy bitcoin,why dont they go to some reputable bitcoin exchange and buy from them? Many btc exchanges accept payment with PayPal.It will be more safer for them also if they really wants to buy

Use your intelligence and perform due diligence, just because some members don't like something doesn't mean admins will change anything. At this point any chance of a change in a marketplace rule is close to zero.

"Perform due diligence" What if newbies are stupid? Like most. Alot that are new to Bitcoin have no idea of the scammers, and this forum's sections only encourage that. |

There are stickies, if they chose to ignore them that is none of forum's concern. |

OP I tend to agree with you on this but bct doesn't even ban scammers even when they're caught. A lot of people just create new accounts to fish for suckers and they abandon them when no one bites. So restricting newbies would help that.

If no one will fall to their "scam" attempt, then no one will be scammed. I think it's fair to say that MOST people around here are smart enough not to trade with those newbies that you are reffering to. |

Reading through the rules and using common sense helps a lot.
I do however find an option to hide several sections of the forum for accounts with lower than Member status a very good idea.
I only think these changes will not be made by the forum operator as it may not be interesting enough for him/them.

sure, but we are not allowed to ban scam though.
instead, we can ban the newbies in case of spamming on the forum to evade ban for the main account. would that be a better solution?
|
out of ability to use the signature, i want a new ban strike policy that will fade the strike after 90~120 days of the ban and not to be traced back, like google | email me for anything urgent, message will possibly not be instantly responded
i am not really active for some reason

Well maybe that's something that needs to be addressed when we switch over to the new forum. It seems kinda silly to me that scams are allowed but whatever. Newbs should be severely limited in what they can do. |

Another good idea would be to extend this restriction to the lending section. That's crazy how many dumb people there's there. Maybe that's the same guy ?

If it were me I'd divide up the lending and currency exchanges sections into two. One for people with trust or a certain activity level or track record, the other a total cesspit with a large disclaimer at the top.

I don't think that it would be a good idea. I provide loans to the people. Since I don't have a positive trust, I'd have to go to the trash section, were I'll get low quality clients, that will always scam me. Seriously, why would one choose the section where it's in written in red at the top of the page "BEWARE, MOST OF THE PEOPLE HERE ARE SCAMMERS. TRADE WITH CAUTION !" instead of the section where everyone have positive trusts ? |

When an old reputable member is behind some scam,newbie are prone to fall for it even higer rank members can be scammed like master-p scammed a lots of high rank members |

It doesn't have to be trust, not that I understand it or actually trust it anyway. It could be activity levels or anything that shows some intention to stick around. Anyway it's probably a terrible idea but it would inspire me to look a little closer. |

Someone that have his service in the flow of the scams and the rubbish thread couldn't have many clients to build trust on. Another solution would be to give to theymos or someone else that is really really respected a kind of collateral, which will be given back after a few good trade or when one stops his lending activities. |

membership level and trust are totally irrelevant when a forum allows scammers to buy memberships imho.
