Topic: I think we should ban those ponzi game post on this forum (Read 2586 times)
If everyone who wants to get on board with this banning sends me 1 BTC, I'll spend some time working on the issue. To build trust, I'll redistribute 0.1 BTC to the first 5, and so on. It'll totally work!
I don't know, I just wanted to promote the link

This is the kind of thing that just makes any gambling thing seem worse...

Playing devil's advocate...
How is this site any different? The guy who made it could have put in a lot of the initial entries.
GOSH! Can we stop banning everything that even remotely smell of PR disaster?
I'm fine with the gambling section, however even the language specific forums get pestered by some "intelligent people" that put their text in Google translate and advertise their ponzi games there. This should be a bannable offense imho.
I completely agree with you on this point.
Very true, but not all games are like that.

What's the difference from playing at the casinos?
In the casino, the "house" cannot join the game secretly. In most of these "GoogleDocs/Blockexplorer" ponzis at the forums it's VERY easy to just (with 0 risk!) send a few first payments from another address to yourself to gain even more.I'm fine with the gambling section, however even the language specific forums get pestered by some "intelligent people" that put their text in Google translate and advertise their ponzi games there.

as a newcomer to the bitcoin community there is a huge amount of 'junk' to sift through on the forums..... most all those games just add to it.
That's why there's a gambling subforum for it now.

I'm quite proud of my English, but there are still a few stupid mistakes i let slip by once in a while
Loosing in an openly ponzi/pyramid scheme game should at least earn you the rank of nominee to the Darwin Awards...
But poor people tend to have more kids... so wouldn't that be the exact opposite of the point of the Darwin Awards?
Also, I think you meant losing not loosing. Saw in your profile that you're in Brazil so I'm assuming ESL.

It's not a ponzi "schemes" if they tell you exactly what it does and how it works.

If you start banning certain services for whatever reason, it kind of kills a big part of what makes bitCoin attractive.

yeah, let's try not to hurt that one diner in chicago, or wherever it was
it's bad for the bitcoin community.

And thanks mods for this useful feature http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=ignoreBoards
I don't think they hurt anyone.... I ran one that went for a while, was completely open/transparent with it so people knew what was going on. Now it seems that most people think it's a right of passage after getting out of the newbie section to go create their own "game".
Also, I think we should ban those posts about 'bitcoin forum' discussion in the 'bitcoin discussion' forum.
This would be the right place to be complaining.....

You're going to ban yourself, right?
...and everybody along...
What's the catch anyway with those Ponzi? They're openly Ponzis... you just bit the scheme if you believe money can grow from thin air. Being dumb is still a right.
