I suggest a pre-formatted layout for Report a Scammer threads, similar to the Anti-Spam section. I've seen many mods complain about how people just ignore the stickies and continue to post chat logs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample Report a Scammer Thread:
You are reporting: (insert scammer name here)
For what reason?: (what was the trade, what happened, how did you get scammed, etc.)
Evidence (NO CHAT LOGS PLEASE!): (insert pictures and screenshots here)
Other relevant information: (RSN, paypal email, MSN email, AIM, Skype, etc.)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment, support, etc.
 
I support.

The report a "spammer" section is so quick and easy, it'd be good if the report a "scammer" was as equally as quick and easy.

Also its true that barely anyone reads stickies but they'll be sure to read a pre-formatted report so when they see "no chat logs" then less people will post them.
 
It says a lot about our user base if we need to implement a format when someone can just read the stickys posted on that page.
 
Some people are just too deranged to read stickies, I think the report format should come up as a default for creating a new thread.
 
Support.

I suggested something similar for the dispute forum, but Matthew denied.

Gl though.

Most of the people using the Report a Scammer section are usually under 12, and at that age, will rarely have any emotional control after being scammed. This suggestion will aid both the staff and the members.
 
doesnt one already exist ?
the title is suppose to be

username scammer
but i see what you mean.
maybe add a

scammers email:
your email:

to differentiate whos who
 
Maybe add a thing for any other relevant info. IP address, RS username, paypal emails. Anything that won't fit in the above categories.

Unfortunately, most people who use the report a scammer section are illiterate and cannot read stickies. This pre-formatted layout will no longer require stickies, and will give mods an easier time when banning scammers.

Yeah, I'll add in a category.
