Scam Reported Tag

[Badger]

I think there should be a tag that is given to users who have a scam reported on them, so if montyburly had a scam report on her, then there would be a tag under her name (and other tags) that said "Scam Reported". I think this would help from multiple users getting scammed on here. If someone could show an example of this tag, that would be great, thanks.

Example:

Nice, though if the person is legit and innocent then it would take away from their business...right?

 

[DarkHearts]

Great suggestion!

This is a good idea, but only if the scam report is approved/concluded with them actually being the scammer.

For example I think previous scam reports that are archived should be open instead for us to view -- we'd know if that user has had any previous bad dealings and that would definitely influence people in dealing with them and possibly stop scamming as well.

Also I suggest that at least 2 scam report staff need to be in existence in case one is inactive and there's a load of scam reports open

I have an example I made,

If we had multiple scam report staff that got the job done quick, then this would hardly be a problem.

It could be useful...
But really annoying when your innocent.

We do need more scam report staff.

I think that this would be a really neat idea, but as pointed out a few times, doesn't make you look good if you were innocent. Not to mention that there would have to be some way to select the user that scammed you, which may or may not lead to people just opening random reports of people they dislike. Other than that, I find this idea could work out.

A scam report that is falsely made should be deleted as soon as the staff see it anyway... You would be able to get banned for trying to abuse the system too.

Sometimes there are misunderstanding children who make scam reports for silly things.

And alot of times people like to impersonate others.

I mean this tag would only be possible if we had more scam report staff and if the scam reports were dealt with more quickly. We have enough veteran users to make staff. I don't see any problems.

Hello,

I agree something needs to be done however I don't feel this is the answer. Sorry I don't support.

Kind regards,

This is stupid. Scammers get banned if there is sufficient evidence against them. Giving people a tag just for having a report against them is harmful to their sales, as they could be proven innocent.

After it has been approved...

After it's approved they're banned anyways with the banned tag ?

The thread awaits moderation approval when it is posted, then we, the users can finally see it and give our thoughts and opinions.

EDIT: Another good idea would be for the tag to link to the scam report active when clicked.

Good idea to raise awareness to decrease the scammers.
