I see the thread exposing wallstreet1928 again has been deleted, along with the information that could have stopped others falling for his latest scheme.
Can never damn well win with you lot "how dare you leave a thread like that running" one minute then "how dare you delete the thread" the next.

No complaints from me Jon, so I hope that wasn't directed my way.
What PB means I think is that there are two broad types:
1. Random (or apparently random) punter turns up and starts building up his scam). Don't know him from Adam, but the thread is clearly garbage and intended as a hook (500 pips a minute etc). Those are the ones that should probably deleted immediately, or once Hare and the rest of us have had a bit of fun with the chump.
2. Known scammer turns up to have a second (third, fourth, fifth etc) bite at the cherry. He starts his fishing, PB digs up the dirt and links him to previous nics / scams. Valuable info as any google searches etc will link them, so this forms part of a good informal database on the scumbag. As in this case, and these are the ones he (and most of us I think) should be left standing, as they contain valuable evidence-based material.
That's how I see it, anyway. PB, if I'm wrong, please correct me.
you guys seem to have missed to note wallstreet's biggest fan and a legendary member....i quote his posts below
You're spot on. In these circumstances deleting it just lets them off the hook, they'll be back another day under a new name as they know there is no downside to being caught.

Yes and when I advanced that argument on the "advertisers" thread it was pooh-poohed. You also said in your reply to my earlier post that I should delete any links etc - what links?
I was speaking generally, if there are links delete them, if not then don't. Why delete the whole thread and let him away with it again?
You know very well that all you had to do was delete any links or other crap he posted and leave the proof of his dishonesty for everyone to see. Why is that so difficult?
Have you considered starting up your own forum?
Seems you are very specific on how you think such a forum should be run.
Why not start your own?
No I'd rather hound vendors and thieves here instead, at least until I'm banned again.
