Protecting the newcomers? LOL Most of the new arrivals have no peds or property to be scammed of! That's the largest load of hooey I've seen to date.
Try increasing the spin, Marco. The picture isn't blurry enough to keep us from seeing it yet.
If you were really interested in protecting the poor innocent noobs,
MA would have been agressively (and visibly... good for PR you know "Look!
MA is keeping the system safe for you!") going after the scammers at PA, correcting the flaws with the mentor system, and not targeting players that are trusted by the community. If I were to use suck a service, I would certainly NOT use the new 500 pound gorillas on the block, but one of the ones established by credible players within the game.
We trust ourselves more than we trust you Marco.
MA needs to work on that.

PS as a side note, the "Booking list of busted avatars" seems like a good idea, and *might* help you to win some credibility back.
