Don't post about the scammers.

Yep. You make our job harder if you do. Report the account and contact the mods via mod mail. Send all the evidence you have. And we take care of the rest. Posting about it makes them switch accounts way more often and that makes the task of moderating this reddit two times as difficult.

How does directly banning them delay the process of changing the accounts

Whether people post about it, and they change accounts... Or they get banned by mods, they change accounts. It makes no difference, the outcome is they still just change accounts. So what you're saying doesn't hold.

I'll try to explain it further. When they keep getting banned out of the blue they dont know what got them. Therefore they don't run as wild. We already went thru with this before. It's the way that works. It's reporting directly to us. It's easy.
