    | I think he's talking about a "scams" forum type arrangement, if I'm not mistaken. Something akin to an appropriate location for all of the "I can't believe what these morons are sending me now" sort of setup, to establish a place for these warnings, and to educate some users. -Allan

I'm definitely not saying to start a Forum for People to Post "Joe Schmo" is a Scammer or anything - as These things should be for "Mods Eyes Only" at First. I believe we all agree there is room for threads like these as long as they aren't overly Duplicated. - Just wondering Where ? Thanks ~

| Keep the suggestions coming ... I've got some ideas - how and where things of this nature could be discussed - on this (and thanks for the clarifications, etc. I think I see now where you are headed, IMHO). We discussed this "Warnings consolidation", honest to Goodness, a few weeks ago in the Moderators Hideout area ... but we're going to very much need your input here in order to make it happen properly, in my view! I like the overall concept. Thanks for any and all thoughts from the community. -Jeff

| I think we should have a separate forum alerting users of scams. So for instance people can post "Watch out for..." and "So&So always bids for stuff on ebay, but never pays up" but should not post "Joe Schmo is a conman. He ran off with all my np$" as that is a personal thing that should be sorted with the mods. In the first example "So&So" is not a person on this board. He is someone on ebay which people now scam people. I remember a post on this forum talking about someone on ebay who was selling stuff. On one of them he was selling some girls forehead! Thats what I mean by that example! Also, this forum can be about just interesting scam stories (to do with the internet and such)

| PoorDoggie - The reason I used "Joe Schmo" was not to let a search engine Crawl a real name beside the word "Scammer" - lol - I would have used my own name before placing a Mods name there  ... just a Thought  Thanks for the reply Jeff - This stuff is part of the Every day Problems we all must face unfortunately ...  - But it is a good idea if we all watch each others backs ~ Just don't openly post anyone's Real Name(s) or User name(s) etc ... without contacting the Mods with some sort of proof first ~It is easy to ruin someone's Reputation without any Proof at all on the Web. It can take months and months for a "Crawled" page of any kind to disappear from the Major Engines - Even if the Page does not exist any longer !!! - It's still in the Title/Header portion of the Search Results. Thanks ~
