User has a pending scam report against them besides a persons name.

I have seen people trading on the forums when there is a report pending against them. This would reduce scams. Some people dont look in the report a scammer section and continue with the trade. I think this would be helpful.

Edit: The tittle is messed up. What i mean is that there should be something besides a persons name that tells that there is a pending scam report against them.

 

So you want something implemented by the user title or something showing that there is a pending scam report against them? If so no support. It would take way to much time to update it consistently and scam reports are closed a lot quicker then that. Just go look in the section and see if there is a thread.

 

This is a terrible idea because moderators would have to submit these instead of dealing with the report.


And also because of imposter in people like Dave would get this rank when it's obviously not him

 

No support. There are a lot of negatives to this suggestion. Legitimate members may be hindered in trades because of false accusations, impostors, etc. Also, some scam reports take awhile to reach a conclusion, and that can severely hurt business for a legitimate member. Besides, this will probably take awhile to code, and I don't think the results justify that much work. I understand where you are coming from, but members need to look in the RaS section and make their own conclusions on the individuals they are trading.

 

If someone's really a threat while there's an ongoing report, they'll be banned until it's settled anyway - we've seen this many times in the past. There's really no need for this suggestion.

 

This. Also can you imagine all the bigtime marketers like Divica, Arcus and R2P? People get scammed by their imposters so often they wouldn't even be able to use the market.

 

obv if its a imposter, a mod shouldnt stick a pending report to their name. It should only happen if its a legit report.

edit: Coinking scammed few people in the same day. Mods didnt ban him right away on the first report. If those people knew he had scam report against him, i doubt they would have been scammed.

 

I'm not sure this is practical. We have always recommended users to browse the report a scammer section (and research the trader's history) before trading.

 

Bad restriction is bad.

 

In theory, a good idea. But just not practical. Sorry!
