You can't do anything to stop them, if you take one down, ten others will pop up.
Just be smart yourself and don't support them.

To be honest, there is nothing we can do to stop the HYIP from coming to BitcoinTalk. Because admin just don't have the time to monitor scams.
The best we can do is to give negative rep to these HYIP owner.

Hyip are usually easy to spot and you can use the old
"to good to be true" meter and run in the other direction.

Hello Friends,
HYIP Scams have a long history in the internet.
And with bitcoin HYIPS, almost 99.99% turn out to be scammers.
And the most disturbing part popular websites like BitcoinTalk are being used as "baits"
by these scammers...
so sad.
Don't you think we need to do something about this???
I personally have been scammed many times. Almost every little satoshi I earned from faucets have been eaten up by scammy Hyips.
I have started this thread so that at-least here at BitcoinTalk web can take some steps so that
new users wont get their bitcoins lost.
Suggest your ideas that can be implemented so this problem can be curbed.
One suggestion I would like to give is that "newbie" users should not be allowed to directly post any
new Hyip program. Instead they would be required support from any senior member and that senior member will post the
information about the HYIP.
Another suggestion can be some fixed "security deposit" system here before allowing the hyip be posted here.
Go on friends,
post your views and suggestion so that admins and senior users here will take note and maybe could do something about this problem.
Good day.
