Temporary Warnings

[good run]

As you all know, the MCM staff team are constantly working to resolve scam reports, general reports and other mcm related issues, leaving a stack of things still to go through.

If someone gets scammed and makes a scam report, often it can not be resolved for up to a week or sometimes even longer. I am proposing an idea to introduce a 'Temp Warning'. How this works is that Users will report the member accused of scamming/other reason for a like normal, and if multiple people do it within a certain timeframe (a week maybe) it will display this message.

(example, editing page source is actually fun)

This can be removed by staff at a later date but just gives members warning against possible scams.

But, you may ask. What is stopping everyone from reporting each other or even botting, Here it comes to the underlying fact that this should only be used by Members+, if a new member happens to be scammed they could turn to the sections 'General Discussion'.

Sorry if some of this seems to make little sense, but i'm a little tired and feel I would forget the idea if I fell asleep. Please leave your opinions on this down below as I would love to see what you think.

Thanks.

... turns out this is a thing and I haven't seen it this entire time, but just in a different format.

In theory, it would work, but not in reality. Abuse would eventually arise and staff members would suddenly have to work on verifying reports. Scam reports already take quite some time and the proposed report system could cut business, even for the small things or simply for revenge and are subject to manipulation.

Just a couple that I have found. Might edit this later with more.

Denied, thanks for the suggestion.
