Potential Scammer warnings on profile/posts - JoshAllen - May 18, 2026

I have seen in the deal dispute section multiple times people get scammed by users that already have an active deal dispute.

When I ask them why they dealt with this person, they usually say they didn't realize the user had a deal dispute already.

My suggestion is to have it more noticeable on a users profile if they have a deal dispute before dealing with them.

Here are my 3 ideas:

Warning on marketplace posts
Spoiler (Click to View)
Warning on banner on profile
Spoiler (Click to View)
Warning when opening contract

I think the best place for a deal with caution would be on their profile, somewhere like this so people can see it, or something similar to your first idea.

Good idea and addition as precautionary warnings to all newcomers specially to those newbies in the scene of hacking

This is a great idea for new-comers who get involved in scams.
+1 for this.

I appreciate the input.

My only issue with it is I feel it would be quite hidden.

I appreciate all the kind words.

I don't think this would only benefit only new users, I think it would help ALL users.
