Hello, I would like the feature that enables me to search the Scammer accusations forum that way I can simply look up someones history of being accused of scamming?

It would allow people another simple check to ensure they aren't trading with a scammer.

This technology already is being used in the Diablo 2 trading section.

Please advise your choice and why Thank you

Most of them would have a scammer tag so they would be easily identified.

I'm not act ively trading anymore, but when I was, this would've been a great feature.
I understand ppl mess up and they're given the means to repay etc, but on the other hand, there's the request a mediator option.
I voted yes cuz I didn't make high profile item trades with people who were new or I didn't see as active traders.

He means a direct search of users who have been accused. Not just someone’s posts in the Scammer Accusations forum.

Unfortunately, something like this isn’t going to be implemented. The best indicator as to if someone is a scammer or not is their trader rating. If a proven scammer, they will be labelled as such.

If you’re uneasy about trading certain users, you can request a mediator, or simply not trade with that user.

Hard to tell what OP means.

When someone is accused they may respond to a topic, but that does not mean they are a scammer. From my point of view the OP is asking for that specifically and to make his own judgement. If the site wanted to support that then I feel the s/a team may become less of value while users who spam it or abuse it for other purpose are now supported by additional search feature. If the intentions of the s/a forum and why am I locked was to embrace history instead of the future then we mine as well delete parts of those forums, as accusation will be the new present management.

As is people already spam 'scanner' on the forums when they feel like it, so if the OP was asking about any accusation then I feel safe to assume searching the whole site would be the right way to go, which he is not asking.

In addition to that the OP states

I am unaware of any technology that is support by the site in which the user may be referencing to, do you? If he is talking about search on the trade forums, that is not intended to search for scammer accusations.

That would make repaying completely useless.
