    For instance: Current
    http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198040449464?t=

    A bit ago:
    http://steamrep.com/profiles/76561198040449464?t=1341794153

    I would suggest, that on any page that is shown in the past that a warning or disclaimer be added, that "You are viewing archived data on this profile" or etc.

    I was recently approached by a scammer who used a link that pointed to SR but showed his profile a month ago, before he was tagged. I noticed the t=etc and saw it wasn't current. But I think newer players or players who just glance over, may not.

    I would do a bit different layout.


    Like
    Steamrep Status as selected date = Y
    Steamrep Status as curently = X

    So you could see the status at a specific date but it will also display the current status. So no matter which page the scammer link you to it will display the current status too.



    VERIFY ALWAYS BY YOURSELF the status of someone, but still a lot of people don't listen about that so it's could be helpful and worth to do the change.

    I'll link this in the admin topic of the site, so this may be addressed. Any public discussion can be held here. I'm all for it to make it a eye catcher that its a historic profile.

    I agree, either having the current data and the historical data side by side, or having a large marker on the historical data, would greatly assist in preventing scams.
