Policy Question 

If someone admits to scamming, do they get closed

I was reading a thread about someone who wanted to pay back someone they scammed, and multiple people said that the op was going to get banned for admitting to scamming. I don't recall this being written in the rules anywhere, and I wanted to know if this was true.
As always, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Code
Our staff on occasion will ban a scammer, if the evidence is on site and apparent.
That's what it says, but that doesn't mean if they admit it they'll get banned

Not posting who, or any details. Just asking a question.

They should edit this out if the rules section as well then.

I'm gonna link this thread in the thread where people said op would be banned. Thanks for your answers!

There are several factors taken into account when someone is banned or closed for scamming. Usually when someone goes around blatantly bragging that they scammed some people or they have several legitimate scam reports that they don't bother responding to, they could be banned or closed. Usually in these cases, those members are a threat to the community and Administration take the action that is necessary by closing their account.

That's an answer that adheres more to what I read in the rules. Thanks.
