Default Do we need a separate forum for discussing possible scams and con artists?

Good call Leon. A separate area will just encourage people to make accusations that may become increasingly baseless, like it was getting a few months ago (and has thankfully largely abated). With only a few exceptionss, people are now pretty careful to only post these concerns on the main board in very egregious or certain instances.

I don't think it's possible to create that area and not have it eventually devolve into finger-pointing corner with people hauling out the ban hammer even with only perceived possible nuanced thinking that someone did something wrong.

Too hard to fix a reputation once someone has recklessly and mistakenly called it into question. Nothing but trouble there.
