Hey /g/. I've been thinking of making a general about scambaiting (i.e what's scambaiting, how to scambait and scambaiting actual scammers). What do you guys think?
If you screencapped them installing gentoo then I would ask you screencap me into it
Good luck anon!

You can first make a thread about whatever this thing is. Then if, and only if, it gets so popular that several threads start popping up at the same time, you can make a single "General" thread. Get your terminology straight.
What is scambaiting anyway?

Basically trolling, doxxing and reporting scammers.

Scam baitingis a form ofInternet vigilantism, where the vigilante poses as a potential victim to the scammer in order to waste their time and resources, gather information that will be of use to authorities, and publicly expose the scammer. It is primarily used to thwartadvance-fee fraudandtechnical support scams[1]and can be done out of a sense of civic duty (activism), as a form ofamusement, or both. However, some of this scambaiting can involveracism[2]while there are other forms that document e.g. scammers tools and methods, warn potential victims, provide discussion forums, or take down fake websites.[3]
