I don't think that supporting such flooding attacks is wise, not even against fake sites.
So putting lots of fake account numbers and passwords into the databases of scammers is unwise?
Such flooding sessions do probably more harm to innocent bystanders that really hit the scammers.
How does it harm innocent bystanders? Bandwidth is cheap. I suffer more "harm" from people downloading MPEGs.
The internet is already suffering from worms, virusses and other nastyness; I don't think that griefpaying e-gold users should be added to the list of causes for irritation.
Irritation to whom? What kind of irritation are you talking about? The irritation of a scammer having a database full of fake account numbers and passwords, or some other kind suffered by those innocent bystanders? What kind of "collateral damage" are you talking about?
A better initiative would be if GDCA puts their effort in doing
something possitive. Setup some security training program (a nifty flash
tour) that educates John Doe some basic security awareness.
That sounds good too.
