In last couple of days, I start observing the section daily and spend couple of hours here.

Why are you spending a couple of hours there?

ALL (and yes, I'm not aware using word ALL here) threads here had just one purpose and it is steal people bitcoin, lure them to invest BTC and vanish.

You could argue all the sites in the Gambling section are there just to steal your money. People know what they're sending their money to and that's their choice whether they gamble on a dice site or a ponzi.

It was by special request from many users to put those boards together, exactly because they filled up (with crap) the whole Gaming board.
Also, this way you can easily set in your profile to not see that area anymore, which you just reminded me to do Grin

"Common rogue from Russia with a bare ass."

I've been following it too, it is a cesspit for sure but, as it concentrates the obvious scams in one place I think it helps introduce newbies to the concept of due diligence, maybe at the cost of a bit of dust.
Look at it as a training ground where kids can play with some sats and learn a bit about scams, then they can graduate to the main board and get ripped off properly by the professionals.

Deleting investor-based games will ruin other sections.

Ponzi was one of the oldest internet scam, born long long time ago before bicoin, there was no connection between bitcoin and ponzi scam.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!

Scams aren't moderated.

Ponzis/HYIPs were cluttering Gambling and Games and Round boards. To avoid this, a new section is created. Everyone is aware that section is almost filled with scams.

Hey there,

I just want to ask you, if you think that we need this section on this forum and what is purpose? Concentrate scammers and frauds to one place?

In last couple of days, I start observing the section daily and spend couple of hours here. ALL (and yes, I'm not aware using word ALL here) threads here had just one purpose and it is steal people bitcoin, lure them to invest BTC and vanish.

Even you can say, that it is problem of those guys, which decided to invest..it is just throwing really bad impression to whole bitcoin, just because those scammed people are also real people from real world and they have to exchange their earned money to BTC. And then they lost them..and you know what. They will just say "bitcoin is scam" instead of "somebody scammed me". I really think that negative effect of this subsection is much higher then positive one (if there is any)

So you think, that is fine to had this section here?

Bitcoin Forum > Economy > Marketplace > Gambling > Investor-based games

TY for reaction.
