Mindbuster and I have come up with a solution for this issue.
We have created a new subforum named
ooOOOoOOooOoOOOoo for outdated threads and closed parts of
EF. This subforum is closed to new threads and posts.
The former
Scamming forum is now a subforum of
ooOOOoOOooOoOOOoo, which will allow the threads and post content to be read by all members, and indexed in the forum search utility, but no new replies or threads can be created.
A new rule has been added to the forum rules prohibiting personal accusations of scamming (naming
EU avatars or
EF members).
We will also move several threads that ouline some of the more common scamming tactics (such as armor upgrades, armor coloring, etc). into the Sticky threads area and Noobs corner to help keep new members informed on how to avoid being victimized by would-be scammers.
