I think it wont hurt anybody if the exchange members would pay...but it kinda looks nasty for the forum and not much people will be in the money exchange
It seems that many of the scammers at TG are people that have taken over older TG user names, that have had an obvious period of inactivity. The scammer uses the fake seniority to get other newer TG members to send first. Then they are scammed as they get nothing in return.
If TG user names were permanently banned after a certain period of inactivity this type of scamming would stop. A certain period of inactivity could trigger a permanent ban, maybe 3 months or so would be sufficient.
If someone had a reason to be away for an extended period of time and wanted their user name back they could contact TG admin with proof that it was them and get it reinstated.
This would resolve issues of 1) people with multiple TG names held in reserve for scamming, 2) people hacking older unused TG names for scamming, 3) people buying older unused TG names for scamming, 4) people compromising the TG forum and gaining access to older TG names for scamming, etc.
Regarding the rating system...
It is an effective tool in the decision process to screen which users here have demonstrated that they are trustworthy. Taking it away would be a mistake.
It is not the only tool. It should be used in conjunction with other info available here, such as searching the sticky scammer thread (for user name, emails, account numbers etc.), and reading the previous posts of your prospective trade partners.
I would adjust the rating system to allow each trade to be rated, as it was prior to last summer.
Currently, if a high rated user's name was hacked, people that already traded with them could not re-rate them to warn others that there was an issue.

As I know http://www.dgcsc.org/ have this solution at http://fraud.dgcsc.org/index.cfm for their members.
I saw it inside - there are a lot of e-mails, IPs, e-gold, e-bullion, paypal accounts and ID information used scammers.

Not agree with Parai.
Because a lot of people who contacted me (for example) even can`t post there! Let`s all members can see this folder.
I think that:
1. The person who wants to have a thread there must pay for. When I decide to open my service and made a thread about it in this folder it was deleted and I received a warn (you may see it). But I paid for it and now everyone can see my thread.
It may be monthly based or one-time fee.
2. May be it`s time to open the TG`s escrow service?
Other tip - I used ICQ, Yahoo and MSN messenger and I have this information in my signature. It`s not easy for scammers to make a fraud using "my" IM!
And I think that exchangers who not used IM or even not have this information (or information that they not used IM) help scammers to make their dirty task.
Nothing personal, gpmac12, but I`m thinking that not everyone of your clients read all your 1600+ posts before making a deal with you. And in 1xxx post you wrote that you don`t use IM. So scammers can use it: they may read IM information which your first-time clients post in your exchange folder when you are offline and use it! And they even don`t need to be a TG members for it!
------
Let`s provide all contact information in signature, or let`s open sticked thread "Contact List" (may be paid) where all exchanger or any financial service providers will make 1 post about contact details (alphabetically)?
And they can make changes in it using not only TG password but a special secondary password (or DOB as moneybookers)?

Other problem is using alike names. I saw attempts to register and use rather like names - for example it was "StockSeler". And I (and other members) can`t ask mods to put under a ban such persons UNTIL they scammed anyone!

I agree ...Changing the rating system since last summer is a mistake at my opinion!
