[Suggestion] Scammers Database

I think this would be a good community tool to use for people who deal with marketplace a lot. It would consist of records of all Usernames, AIM's, Emails, MSN's, and Skype's of recorded scammers. A username can be clicked on to lead to the associated profile, and all AIM's, Emails, MSN's, and Skype's can be clicked on to lead to the associated profile. Say there is a thread of a new user, selling a gamertag. I notice his Skype looks familiar. I click on the database tab, and search the Skype. It's recorded. I click on the Skype and it leads to a profile banned for scamming. I've now just saved myself and can warn others. Now this would need to be a community effort to keep this running, so people would need to submit any info (emails, skype, etc.) to the Staff so they can add it to the records. I understand this is a big thing and could take up some resources, but it will definitely help in the long run of keeping this a user friendly forum. Discuss this as you wish, I will most likely edit this in greater detail for better understanding after I finish my work.

This is a great idea. However, I don't have much time for things as it is. I have alot of IRL things happening especially lately, and what you are suggesting will take up alot alot of time, and probably money. I am pretty broke right now, so money isn't really an option tbh. I won't close this thread but I can't do this as of right now. Maybe in the future but I just honestly cannot do it as of this exact time.

This would be a community effort, so people would be the ones giving the info to the Staff, staff would only need to submit it into the database. Atm there is little to no scamming so it shouldn't be a time issue. Plus, I'm dont think people would mind donating to keep it running, I know I wouldnt (however I use LR, dont know if you accept that).

Still I would need to code the proper script in order to do that. As well as talk to the staff to see if they would like to take this one. Also I now accept LR. Check out the upgrade tab at the top. :)

Moderators could also help, and trusted members if you choose to do so. Don't they have a plugin for a database?If not, I'd be willing to donate any funds I get in LR to get this up and running. I'd really like to see this addition.

Nope there isn't any plugins. So I would have to code it or pay someone else to do it. If they had a plugin for something like this I would do it asap! Also FK currently has no moderators besides NiQue which he isn't around much. :/ Normally just the weekends.

Well I hope we can get this in the near future.
