I know your thoughts are good at heart Tom but it just doesn't sound like a feasible or good idea. A couple of things come to mind.
What makes an admin or Adult.com staff an authority to the point where only they should be allowed to post someone is a scammer?
There obviously isn't much to verification, so what determines someone is a scammer? 1 bad deal with the wrong person, 10 bad deals with small webmasters? There isn't really a good determining figure.
I think that if someone is a scammer and there gets to be such a large consensus on the board of people who have been hurt and are reputable people, then a simple banning of an IP number does the trick in many cases and the outing of that person in a free discussion forum where everyone can participate.
This will work for most US, Canadian and UK or some coutries in Europe not mentioned. But for scammers in Russia, Bulgaria or where there is a degree of lawlessness, these guys operate behind many names. businesses and proxies so even a scam board won't stop them.
Just my thoughts.
