I understand what you are saying, and I don't believe that neither you or cillia or Shiirn would speak down on a player for nothing, but the policy is just there to prevent any cases in which a member might come here and blacklist other members for the fun of it. We cannot allow some members to list names because we personally trust them, while not allowing other members to come here and list names because we don't trust them. It's also to prevent rumours flying around and starting up here on FF.
It's also difficult to draw the line in which cases can the players be named, and which can not. There are far too many factors to take into account when trying to determine which is okay to name people, plus a big chunk of trying to determine if the info is reliable a lot comes from whether you personally trust the person or not. Since mods/admins can't speak for the whole community, we decided to put the policy there.
I do agree that we should be responsible for who we believe and interpreting what's true or false ourselves, but it's a game forum after all and there are young kids that roam around here who might not be able to see situations like this as neutrally/maturely as the older members.
Plus, I personally think that if you really want others to not be scammed, knowing the person's name isn't entirely useful. Members need to understand what has happened and why it has happened to prevent being scammed themselves. Sure, knowing the name might stop them from getting scammed by the same person, but if they don't understand the "concept", it won't really stop them from being scammed by other people online.
