FF Team:
We used to have a rep system based off site usage and account duration amongst other things. It was called the Karma score and we had little purple tear drops on the profiles indicating members use and interaction on the site which can give a good idea if someone is genuine or not.
At users request we removed this feature. But if there is enough demand, we can look at bringing this back.
Of course we do now have verification, this is a process where members submit a photo of themselves with a hand written sign to prove their identity. You can search for verified profiles, and you get a little blue badge / shield icon on your profile once completed.
A pinned post on how to spot scammers could be useful. I will look into this and see what we can come up with. Usually scammers are pretty obvious to spot but I don't want to give away too much info for scammers to change their behaviour which would then make it harder for us to locate them if they see the post.
Thank you for the suggestions.

maybe not a full on rep system but more of a "proof you used this site a lot" thing
posting using chat etc makes it go up but it wont go down.
less of a your good person and more of a you using this site a lot
forms have like awards for x number of posts and replies and such and longer your there or more active you are higher it goes
this rank would also keep people inline as acting like dirt bag would risk of losing your accont.
but it will also show to people around here this person been here a lot. but not a metic of if they are nice person or not.
new account will be at behide to older accounts. but id they stick on the site they will grow in rank and be fine.
scamers and Ebeggers mostly be cut out tho since they be bannd and have start again.
either do this or have mods give out bagdes or mini nick names to show they are active and adding memeber
