I myself love debunking programs, bots, ponzies etc and would love to see a scam awareness thread, I would even personally manage the thread and debunk requested programs etc so that other people do not waste time, effort or indeed money.

is there a possibility such a subforum can be added?

Honestly it's not a bad idea. Though I don't know how good you're at it, so we can't really "endorse" you.
The other question is, how often would you be able to do it. If you do it once a month while we have like 50k leaks and counting, the impact would be so small that I think creating a whole section for it would be too much.

well to compromise a pinned megathread could work, possibly inside of the marketplace discussions?

A pinned thread seems ok. Though not in marketplace discussions, what does that have anything to do with leaks?

I am pretty good at it, doesn't take a genius to work these things out, a lot of spoilers give it away you just have to know what your looking for.

I agree what your saying what I propose is thatI can be much more active to manage and build a small team of volunteers and teach them warning signs, efficient research etc.

What I also propose is including this for marketplace products and adopting the BHW way of approving threads there will someone checks out each post, gets review copy, demonstration etc, if this all checks out, thread is approved and review by the person who checked it out is written as first post for all to see. This would eliminate any spam or scams completely saving users time, credit, money etc

It's up to you guys but I think it will be beneficial to the Nulled community and to be honest that's all I care about, the knowledge and friends I have gained here are invaluable

The problem that is there is what if your friends with a user and we don't know that? The review could write a review saying it's amazing and all then bang everyone gets scammed. That sort of thing would bounce back onto the Review team. The user could give us one method, it is reviewed and a success the Reviewer then approves the thread and the seller changes the content and starts selling a broken copy and again, bang scamming. It's kind of hard to justify since then that would be inline with the Forum Team being to blame for the scams. That then goes against our Martetplace Guidelines stating;

I see your points here but I would like to clarify whether friends with somebody or not that will never ever happen.

As per your second point I completely understand and did not think of that, the last thing I would want is anything negative to fall back on the forum and therefore withdraw my suggestion for marketplace reviews.

However I would still like my initial suggestion for the subforum I suggested to be reviewed by the team and any feedback on the suggestion would be welcomed.

Thats not a bad idea. I understand what nasyr said, but with all the different reviews thatll be out there. The fake ones will be outweighed by the other reviews.
