Title: Lending Section should be Removed?
Post by: Subud! on September 27, 2013, 09:10:20 AM
I notice this section is use for most scams, getting fake reputation and useless posts. I concluded that this section is useless and should be removed.

Why? Some people can still get loans, and pay back on time.
And who cares about what you think? ::)

Good borrowers get loans quickly and easily.  Scammers and thieves provide entertainment.

It keeps the loan requests out of the other sections.

If you look past the scammers (very easy to do) the lending section is useful and full of successful loans.

Exactly.  Scammers are so last year.  Nowadays, people will post on their threads just for the heck of it.

No, it should not be removed? I loaned a trusted guy 1 btc and got 0.20 btc profit in a week

I still saw some loans still get through. But those scammers must be persistent always creating new accounts. Props to the guys who always detects them.

What, no... There are still some people with legitimate needs who post on this board and do get successful loans which are repaid. It hasn't gotten to the point where every single loan is a scam, and anyways a lot of us are getting better at spotting them.

I voted no. Reputable and members  with collateral can still loan.

Yes, and if you check Tomato, Boelens, or Stunna threads you will see repaid loans :)

+1

If we remove the lending section all these posts would just go other places. If you do not like the lending section you can ignore it in your preferences.

This thread should be moved to Meta.

There are a lot of sections of the forums that could serve to scam people. Bitcointalk isn't anybody's babysitter.

People also get scam from newbie, marketplace, securities, and goods section. Remove them too? heh

Lots of scammers have tried to steal BTC from the Lending section, and many of them have failed. I think the community is aware of scammers already.
