Its become far to often I logon to WHT seeing companies branded by the word 'scammers' in a thread title by new members with 2/3 posts.
Not only is this badly effecting certain genuine hosts its also an annoyance.
Cant we add some new rule against the word 'Scam/Scammer'
Eg. "ABC HOST Scame"
Would be:
Eg. "ABC HOST Payment Issues" / "ABC HOST Signup Review" etc

Well, if they really did scam the person, what happens then?

Then have a moderator change the title?
I agree with this, too many kids are getting on the forums and posting reviews about companies who simply didn't give them a refund when they broke the terms of service.
That's not the companies fault, and all it does is hurt the companies image.

When we see threads with "scam" or "scammer" in the title, we edit the title to something like "hostname issues" unless it appears that it really is about a scam. Please use the Report button if you see threads with "scam" or "scammer" in the title when it doesn't look like the right description so that we can look at it.
Thanks!

If we all go this way, in matters of seconds, title is fixed.
Just report.

Ahh, COuld there still be something added to the rules.
And a lot of the time, no offence, but it appears to be non-english people using proxies, then as there IP doesnt match the sign-up country or they cannot verify via phone through the WHMCS module they then post a thread on here saying 'Scam'.
