The former Notable Scammers page has since been turned into "Avoiding Scams". This came about primarily due to the ineffective nature of the Notable Scammers page and the difficulty in regulating and verifying information added to it. However, the new page, Avoiding Scams, is still recieving regular reports of scammers. This is also occuring in the Discussions. This clearly indicates that many people visiting the wiki are looking for someway to report scammers. This is further supported by the regular messages I recieve on my message wall of a similar nature.

As such we will be implementing a new feature onto the wiki: User Reports

This is a form where all the relevant information regarding a scammer, duper, or hacker can be compiled in an organized fashion. The results of this will then be made availble to Defaultio and anybody else who care to view them. Additionally, the names on the list will be published to the avoiding scams page on a monthly/weekly basis (with the new month's names replacing the old ones in order to keep the content relevant and helpful). This will facilitate users in identifyinging potential scammers by using ctrl-f on the list in a similar fashion to the old notable scammers page.

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this feature before it is officially added feel free to voice them in this discussion.

(Please note that I am currently holding off on including this in the page until I get access from wikia to create a Mediawiki:User_Reports page so that the form can be embedded within the page, making the entire experience much cleaner and centralized.)
