Something I've liked about SN since I arrived is that the exposure to scammers is very low, I suppose it's because there is no option to send direct messages, that is, here they can't scam us like in Telegram (example in this post #735421) and in other places.
That doesn't mean that SN is exempt from these types of situations in one way or another. What can we do? I know, SN is not X, nor any other similar social network where users are censored for their content, here we are all free to publish whatever we want, but when situations like these arise: #758916 and #783734
Can't there be the possibility of sanctioning, blocking, silencing certain SN users? Not arbitrarily, obviously, but as a penalty, if a group of stackers detects that there is a scammer in the community, they can act on it. Downzapping posts and comments can already be done, so why not users?
It's just a question, an idea, I'd like to know what other people think, or what other ideas could help in these situations. For now it's manageable because it's a small community, but what will happen when it gets bigger?
