Title: WHY does this site allow such blatant SCAM's and people with fake accounts?
Post by: thedreamer on May 20, 2015, 12:08:42 AM
I don't know of any other websites that are legit that allow such nonsense.

Do they get a cut of the scams?

do you read warning on top of this section, i think that obviously clear..

it said : Warning: You are in the Gambling section. You are likely to eventually lose any money that you gamble/"invest". Additionally, moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor. Do not gamble more than you can afford to lose.

just take a tour before u post.

Bitcointalk is relatively uncensored (except when you try to post theymos's dox).

If they wouldnt allow it by removing investor based section, scam/ponzi/ hyip operators will only flood the gambling section and would only ruin gamblers life that dont have interest in scam schemes. Maybe the warning on the top is enough

I read the warning, but it is still immoral to not try to put a stop to open scams and people preying on others who don't know better.

I run an active site too and would never allow such crap. Just my 2 cents though.

Look at it from an another perspective. These sites offer easy money and easily lure people. Once they get burned they will not come near this section again.
