Posting Scammers, Pic Seller, Time-wasters, etc
[QUOTE=SteveTandberg;6441914]
Report those SBs that take the monthly allowance and either ghost or feign perpetual sickness. Bait and switch.
Let's face it, as much as farfaraway glosses endlessly about how SBs aren't escorts and there's this emotional connection, the vast majority of SBs are mercenary $$ hunters.
Need to make this more of a level playing field.

I did this for a long time on the Cincinnati SB thread. I could find a dozen or more scammers a week in our area. I disagree with our guru, HG, on the percent scammers - at least for my area. (I think he doesn't see a lot of them because they are not in his preferred demographic.) I am currently banned from Seeking and taking a break. I never reported any of them to the site. You have to keep in mind that the site LIKES having the scammers there. The scammers are a useful source of hot new profiles. Yes, they ban them after a few weeks. - in order to force them to make new profiles. However, they could easily block them 'ab initio' if they wanted to keep them out.
Next, there are always a few dicks who either simp to the scammers or taunt the scammers by telling them they are on the list. In my case, the scammer figured out who I was and the scammers started a campaign of reporting ME in retaliation. I was always careful about the site TOS but it is impossible to approach multiple profiles without some similarity in language. They got me for "spamming. "
I still keep a list but I much more careful about who I post online. As every experienced guy on here has figured out, there are always some AH's who will rush to a "girl" hoping to curry favor by sharing with them when anyone posts about them in our forums. The best approach is to cultivate a reliable circle of like-minded seniors with whom to share privately. I still post people online occasionally but not the full list.
