But if this was just a general comment and this is the post you chose to discuss it with, I'll clarify some things...

I don't see how this contradicts my post. What I mentioned in my post shouldn't entail anything following someone around their whole lives - when all we leave is the person's 2+2/poker site screen names, a summary of what happened, and the resolution, how will that affect them outside of poker? The idea is to allow that much to remain so that:

I think it's perfectly reasonable to have the most basic information available for future stakers. If the situation is resolved, it should be explained easily enough to anyone they're seeking a stake from. I'd think the person should be disclosing this information to potential stakers anyway.

The problem is that you get stakers who throw people's names up not to warn anyone, but simply to get their money back. True scammers agree to pay back quickly so they can get their name taken down, and move on to the next scam.
