This is a question that I want you to answer with complete honesty. I've seen a few people who have done so and I don't see much of a problem unless it's a member from our community. Do you think offsite scammers should be banned? If we get more of a positive vibe then I guess I'll let Philly know that you guys want them gone or maybe he'll just read the thread.

Should offsite scammers be banned?

I believe that if the scam they committed has absolutely zero connection to the site, or any users on the site, then they don't deserve a ban.
If they have however had a connection to a scam against the site or a user on the site, I believe they should at the very least, be dealt with caution.

No, it's hard as fuck, because any old admin can waltz into your PMs and see all ingoing and outgoing PMs.

The other user would get a Staff member to go on Teamviewer to show actual logs if he disapproves of yours, and then you're fucked.

As I stated in my first point. Scamming is scamming. These community and offsite mind sets or beliefs about how it's not the same thing are pathetic and self made loop holes to make the scammers feel better. As I said before scamming I scamming and is pathetic. The details of the scam don't change anything.
This is one of the stupidest rules on FK (IMO).
@Michael what is your opinion? I think that scammers are scammers. Why should it matter where you scam? If you murder someone in one state, you're still guilty in the next state lol. Scamming is scamming . Simple as that.

That's a really good example: "If you murder someone in one state, you're still guilty in the next state". My opinion is well, sitting on the fence. I don't really mind, but if it's someone from our community, I wouldn't be too happy.

Exactly! A scam is a scam, no matter how small. I feel that users who scam offsite should not be banned, but they should be stripped of their access to post in the market place, and be labeled "deal with caution".
