Watch out for a Scammer(s) on the Board!

It appears that most of these scammers reach out via email vs. Net54 PM. Would it perhaps seem like a good idea to eliminate the direct contact via email feature? I'm honestly curious, does it serve any beneficial purpose, anyway? If email info needs to be exchanged, it can be done so via PM, but if not, eliminating the "Send an email to ___" feature might be a small, preventative wall between the scammers and their marks. I do know that this option is incorporated into the usual software that the site employs, so not sure how easy/difficult it would be to remove. Maybe there's something I'm missing and my idea has less merit than I think; just trying to help.

Also, it would obviously be a great idea for prospective buyers to not include their emails anywhere in their posts. Again, if and when this info needs to be exchanged, it can be done so privately at any time. In a similar vein, would it not be a wise idea to eliminate personal email addresses in the Vintage Links section at this point? That section of the site seems rather antiquated from a 2022 perspective; an email contact list harkens back to the internet of the 1990's. All of those people can still be contacted through PM, so no sense in providing scammers with easy options.
