    The point of the scams forum is to warn people of the scams out there, not who did it. Most people who scam use fake accounts anyway so it would be pointless naming them. People will also make up scammers to ruin their reputation which is what has happened before and it's unfair. You shouldn't need to name the scammer, your reasons for aren't any better than your reasons against.

    It also causes arguments as people have already said.

    There's nothing wrong with how this forum operates at the moment, and naming scammers should not be allowed at all, because what happens when they see it on this forum? It'll only start arguments and potentially bullying. Not to mention that proof can be faked, like @Kardan; pointed out. This forum allows people to share the types of scams that are going on, educating people in regards to those scams and how to avoid them, and therefore hopefully reducing the amount of people being scammed by them if people saw the thread. For example, if someone didn't post about the jade/turquoise laser scam then some users on this forum might have fallen for it, but because of that thread they could have realised what was happening and cancelled the thread before its too late.

    Even though you can't name scammers, with or without proof, this forum still serves a purpose .

    Not online very often

    They should be allowed to redeem themselves after they have committed the scam. I think all scam allegations should also be accompanied by some visual evidence.

    I personally think it should be allowed if evidence is provided.

    Have you read the thread? What about faked evidence?

    It'd be a lot harder to fake a video of say a casino trade... Images obviously aren't acceptable because of how easy they can be changed. And no... of course I didn't read the thread. Who would possibly do that on a forum? -.-

    Well with about 20 minutes work I can get a video of Grumke scamming in a casino for you

    Just because it's harder doesn't mean it's not possible
