So the hacked accounts are pretty easy to fix, especially when people see the email change and go on it fast. The problem is usually, at least one post is made in the scammer's name.
Now, all the scammers are doing is, finding the correct password on a previously hacked site, trying it, and if they get in, they change the email and password the make scammer posts in your name using your reputation.
We have been fixing accounts, deleting the scammer posts, and resetting the account, so the member is not out his credentials or time. The problem is I fix an account, and you continue to report them. So we play this back-and-forth game of where we might have missed a post, or the person sees the scam, says nothing, but then sometime later reports the cleaned-up account.
Then we have the problem of which Moderator is contacted and who does what. I fix it, Rob gets contacted, comes in behind me, and bans it.
I might have to start just deleting your account if you were hacked. Otherwise, we chase these same reports 3 and 4 times because people stagger the reports. We fix the issue, as in my mind, it's not a big deal, but then you all turn it into a big deal, and I have to chase it.
Lastly on the same topic, we tell you NOT to make scammer posts; we remove the scammers, the scammers are organized crime and not a person, yet you all think you are smart and start making posts. I caught account RERFFDSEF, and he scammed me; there is no one behind that account, it's faceless as far as you are concerned. What ends up happening instead, you start seeing ghosts EVERYWHERE. I have to clean up accounts every time you all make a Found a Scammer Post. Why you start labeling everything a scam even when nothing is there, and then we stop looking beyond the obvious, You cry wolf and it causes a ton of problems. I cleaned up three accounts today where you accused people of being "scammy" and yet provide no evidence.
On top of that, you reported someone as "scammy" with no evidence and nothing for us to look at, and giving the benefit of the doubt someone was scammed. just saying Scammer is meaningless. You have very little idea of what a scammer account looks like because normally, unless it was a hacked account, they look normal. Now, if you had an interaction with them and see it, but don't give us the details, you wasted everyone's time and probably gave them more time to work.
Please be precise, we have a lot of accounts. With Hacks you have to decide, am I deleting the user name completely or am I fixing them?
