Would it make more sense that if a dispute was open against a seller, their entire marketplace privileges should be revoked until the dispute is resolved, that way they can't potentially scam other members? Many times I see users with 5-10 open disputes still pull in customers to scam until something is eventually done, but that is also 10+ people that could have been avoided if certain privileges were revoked until the dispute is deemed closed. Just a thought and probably said before, but what are y'alls opinions on it? No debates or bs pls, just interested in seeing different ideas from the community on how scamming can be slowed as it is still such a rampant thing on HF. Everything done so far has most definitely helped to combat scamming, such as the b-rating and whatnot but should there be more? and if so, what?

1. What stops competitors to make a well-hidden multi or ask a friend to open a dd against someone? The guy is blocked from further trading due to some asshole abusing.
   


2. We close the guy, he makes a new account and scams again. This time there's no way to know as you can see a totally clean account, maybe with even a good b-rating score, popularity, posts, a bit older, etc. There is NO way you can protect yourself from that scenario, not on HF, anywhere on the internet.
