Why do you guys ban scammers?

[nYXem]

I really don't get it. What's the point in banning them? Is it just to restrict their access to the site? Obviously not, since they can easily come back using a proxy and a new account and scam more people. Why not just give them the rank of a "Scammer" rather than banning them? Yes, they can still make a new account, but the chances are obviously less than the first case.

I tried something liek this on Dexozoft, I gave all the trolls their own usergroup called Turds.
TBF i think it did help, Everyone knew who they were and just ignored the trolling, it also made it easier for us to keep control of them.

what makes you think that they will still use the account after they get 'Scammer' rank.. ?

Agree with this lol

They will just make a new account and start scamming with it

Even if they came back, they will eventually blow their cover up like every scammer does.

lol yea chances of making a new account are equally higher, banning them would make it easier to reduce scams.

Just by being a bit careful i think it is possible to stay away from being scammed

No, chances could be the same, but there's no harm in trying, right?

Also, if you mark a member as "Scammer" that will keep you safe from that guy in other sites too where he's not yet banned. Say a guy is banner here in KWWH for scaming, but not yet banned in DP. So he may scam there too. But when you see him there, you will be cautious since you already know that he scammed here in KWWH. Go the point?

If he gets marked as a 'Scammer' here, he'll simply get a new nickname, no one is that stupid...
