should Ponzi's be in the gambling section?

Most people are aware that sending btcs to ponzi is like tossing the coin you may get them back and you may not.
I played in few ponzies, because why not? The amount of BTCs I've invested was not huge. Few times I earned money, few times I lost but right now I have made pretty much huge profit of 1btc. The problem is that there are so many ponzies and people are trying to play on every one of them instead of sending btc to one, "trusted" (sic!) one.

At the moment I think that http://120ponzi.yolasite.com/ may live quite a long time considering the other ponzies, it's working quite fast and might become even better than the first one (remember? people send there more thant 300btcs! Shocked

).

Exactly. The scammers posting [TRUSTED] in their thread and posting proof from sockpuppets need to be stopped.

It can be hard to tell sockpuppets from real niave newbs though. I'd suspect most of these Ponzi operators use sockpuppets to get the ball rolling at least.

These are the problem -

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/game-closed-475446

New ponzis opening up stating they are trusted\secure etc with no proof. Threads using such false advertising techniques should be removed, period.

These are the types which give the overall ponzi community a worse name. Sure, Ponzis are not for everyone, but legitimate ponzis can be fun, until the community is finally ruined by the fly-by-night types as listed above.

Ponzi Community haha. As if it could get an even worse name Grin

Likewise, thread jacking should result in bans too;

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ponziget-back-130-truster-and-instant-payout-477648

Clearly I have no problem with Ponzis, but such posts are just adding to the junk.

Biz dont you see whats going on, A group of conmen working at a internet cafe found a cool forum and brought there scams here. This is what happened and no time you will see it get more flooded. The Mods need to do something Fast. They need to make a mod who can take action against TOS and Ponzi scams cause they are not involved in the forums, or maybe need more mods. Im gonna talk with a mod I know on here and see what I can do to get this to the top Mod.

You're right. Obvious scams should be separated from legitimate gambling sites.

I think its pretty obvious they don't belong with legitimate gambling sites.

Maybe a sub-category is proper. IMO something needs to be done.

PONZIs polluting the category

Eh, I'm not too sympathetic to those who get fleeced, if your a complete idiot and you cannot learn from your mistakes then you really are asking to get screwed. Anyway, it's just frustrating to have to filter out all the ponzi garbage whenever I come here.

Like I said, I use them till they die. I get INSANELY mad at the ones who come back to the post, and whine to the OP. "YOU DIDN'T PAY ME!!! (I always get annoyed at the ones who add "Sir" to the end.) HERE'S MY TRANSACTION ID ON THE BLOCKCHAIN! (Then the part that really annoys me) Thanks, and have a very nice day!" Like, damn! Can you not figure out you just got scammed?!

The question is, what is more bad? The idiots who got trapped by the scammer, or the ppl who support the scammer?

Ponzis is not gambling, They been categorized as scams, cause you dont know who really is putting money into them, they can be run by a group on cons sending money with made up accounts and wallets.

Wassup?

There are so many ponzi sites. There should be a sub-section because ponzis remain gambling. Actually, make a "Scam Risk" section as most of them are made by newbies to scam people.

More new ponzi everyday, They gonna have to start blocking any threads with ponzi in them, this freaking nuts. Easy for them to make these cheap websites

Here is a link to show why they should be removed [Imgur](https://i.imgur.com/eO3lq9G.png?1) Violating TOS

If bumping is a violation of the TOS, then that should be enforced with every forum member, not just ponzi operators. You really are scraping the barrel now.

It is. You're meant to only bump once a day and delete your previous bumps.

I've cleaned my thread up. Sorry, I didnt know of that rule.

Not many people do, most rules aren't really explicit round here anyway Grin

The answer to your question, should be yes. All ponzi either good or bad it needs to be a sub category.
