Alright, so basically I started selling Semi's, and I have gotten a few sketchy PMs. For example, this one.
http://prntscr.com/i4q1gw

For example, what I would do is I would create a player report, and if the moderator decides that the player is very sketchy, (low rep, no rank, sketchy message), they would give them a forum rank called "Sketchy" (or something else) that would not show up next to their name on posts, but if you go to their profile, it will say something like "This user is sketchy. Please be cautious when dealing with them."

Maybe he's just a new player looking to buy your account? What's so sketchy about him asking you to not sell the account till he has the funds? Maybe I'm missing something...

There's nothing sketchy there.... I mean, I wouldn't go first with a new member, but still.

This is like the Caution tag idea which has been denied several times even though it clearly has a better use or meaning than your suggestion. Just because a player is new doesn't mean 100% of the time they are false bidding and attempting to scam.

I'd like to add if members were given "sketchy" based on something as innocent as the example you provide many people would be wrongly labeled in result they would be discouraged from using the site

Wasn't trying to shame this user. Just showing an example, sorry if I do cause harm to him though. Not meaning to. This user could be completely legit.

Personally, we also need to think about the fact that staff is busy as it is. Going through tonnes of "sketchy" reports- many probably pointless- won't help anything. However, I do like the idea of a "caution" tag.

In this case it just looks like a new member who wants to buy your account. I get plenty of those and I've sold semis to quite a few of them with no problem. I'd understand if you posted a screenshot of someone bidding $100 on 10 accounts within the span of a few minutes, but for that you can just write something on their profile, I don't see the need for anything more.

This user is fairly new to MCM. The user doesn't know how everything operates around here properly. They shouldn't be called Sketchy at all. New users learn and adapt. We were all new users as well, we got the hang of things.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
