Should there be sub forums under Scam Accusations?

[shield132]

From user experience perspective, I think it will be boring to have many childboard's childboards. I think that instead of Scam accusation -> childboard, we should open every thread in scam accusation like we do today but there should be an option to tag these threads like we do on reddit, see for example:


We should also be able to filter scam accusations when we click on thread's tag but I don't have a hope that will happen.

Scam Accusations  -> Exchanges
Scam Accusations  -> Casinos
Scam Accusations ->Projects
Scam Accusations  -> People

Exchanges and casinos are part of projects I guess. If we don't have projects board then we can add more like

Scam Accusations  -> Mixers
Scam Accusations  -> ICO/IDOs
Scam Accusations  -> Social media, mainly Telegram

and so on.

If we have such sub-board, I see moderators will have a major job to filter these topics and move them to the appropriate sub-boards from the old thousands of threads we already have.

I only agree if it is made separate between accusation and reports:

• Accusation means the accused has an opportunity to come forward to defend himself and the case coudl be resolved or not.
• Report means there is no chance of solving the case because it's basically a clear scam like Tinder woman, phishing sites, etc.

Could be good idea, except for the 'People' sub-board. 'People' sub-forum could be a little bit confusing, in a case when a forum member creating or promoting either a project/casino/exchange, and they use it to scam people would it be in the 'People' sub-forum or the others sub forum, this could lead to double posting. Other than that I think adding sub-forum on the Scam Accusation is a good thing, especially the 'Casino' sub forum, I saw many people has been asking for this multiple times. And even though I am not an active poster on those Sub Forum, I am still frequently reading and checking Scam Accusation, just update and avoid new scam method, so I don't think the sub-forum activity could be taken into consideration whether we need the sub-forum or not, because maybe there are many other passive readers on Scam Accusation on the sub-forum, and adding other sub-forum there would be neat.

I've posted a scam warning Double bitcoin scam websites so it'll need a different sub Scam Accusations  -> Websites

They don't censor scammers in this forum so it's unlikely they'll insert your suggestions. It looks a good addition but we won't discover if it's useful unless it's added. That's when the feedback's going to help.

Instead of just Scam Accusations should there be:

Scam Accusations  -> Exchanges
Scam Accusations  -> Casinos
Scam Accusations ->Projects
Scam Accusations  -> People

We'll be able to give feedback if we're allowed to use the subs first.

The idea seems good to me in terms of the general appearance, as it helps to arrange and coordinate the sections better and helps members search for the topics they want to visit easily.

But the problem, in my opinion, is that there are not many new topics in the Scam Accusations section. Most of the topics that are written there are related to gambling sites. Therefore, if we separate each section separately in the way you suggest, I think we will end up with several subsections that are almost empty due to the lack of Lots of new topics related to the section.

Scam Accusations  -> Casinos

There are a lot of scam accusations about casinos. We get them almost every day. It would be good to have an individual sub forum for this. However, I would rather attach this sub-forum under the Gambling section. I guess that's where it would better suit as we see a lot of newbies post scam accusations on the gambling section.

When you cross check those scam accusations thread created by newbies you will notice most of them is been created to blackmail some of casino platform, and they tune they use will tells you that it's alt account some of them use to come against other casinos, so many of them accusations when you go deeper to find out the truth and you will not8ce that some of their informations lacks merits [lacks meaning] many of the scam accusations I do come across they are propaganda kind of accusations because some doesn't have an evidence to backup its proof.

[arabspaceship123]

It can't be stopped you'll find ppl posting stories about being robbed but each story can't be true. Newbies slandering platforms without proofs shouldn't be allowed. Opportunistic users want to blackmail because they're taking advantage of forum good will.

If they've got evidence they should post it or else they're creating unnecessary problems for authentic sites.

How thoughtful of you! It's a brilliant idea that will help people of a particular interest to easily navigate to their preferred subsection instead of having to battle with the lumped-up in the Scam Accusation page.

How you've suggested them above is also good, but I would have preferred if the "People" is changed to "Others" since we already have a Reputation page.

As in; Scam Accusations -> Others.

So that it will contain more than just People's scam discussion and more discussion outside Cryptos, Casinos and Projects scam.

I agree and it will make the Scam Accusations section more organized  I fully support this, and with this, we will see who and what platforms have the most number of complaints.

But there should also be a sub-forum forum for Resolve Cases after the Original Creator of the topic locks the thread and edits the title to Resolved, this is to decongest the Scam Accusation section.

Bitcointalk already has many boards and subboards. Creating more might confuse others. Most of us are used to the old layout. Changing the layout and making new subboards can be a headache. I like your idea. It will make the accusation board cleaner, transparent, and easily navigable. But instead of making boards, new rules should be made on how to write an accusation post. If we mention altcoin in the subject, people will easily understand that this accusation is related to altcoin. So one won't have to read the whole post.

I don't agree with your suggestion. If we would have much more scam accusations than we have now, then it would make sense. But now this board isn't such active that topics may get lost. And I don't see big difference between all these kind of scams. Scam is scam. And I think that adding more child boards would have negative effect. Accusations would get less visibility as less people would bother to visit each child board

This is something what I really would like to see. And not just in scam accusations board, but in whole forum in general. But yeah, I wouldn't count on it that such feature will be implemented. Maybe in new forum software one day...
