Title: Are there any mods here?
Post by: darkx3 on June 29, 2014, 12:02:51 AM
Can a mod please make a sub-forum for all these ponzi-scams and there really should be a sticky to inform people new to bitcoin about these scams.

I know its up to the individual person whether or not they decide to invest but there should be some warnings to those who are new and go into a thread and see all these fake positive comments from shill accounts.

Again I know its not the mods responsibility to stop all these scams but I don't think it's too much to at least make a sticky, all these scams do is perpetuate more scams.

Think there was a discussion that said no to the subthread for ponzis
They exist in gambling no subforums to be made on it.

Write up a nice post and it might get sticky.

I agree with you on this.

Yea I agree, but I mean the people that believe in them kind of deserve it. If they fall for that, then they'll fall for other stupid tricks in life so in a way it's kind of a life lesson.

Made a post about this a bit back

Mods and admin are at a consensus that it constitutes gambling. Scam or no scam.

Although, I agree that a new subsection under gambling would help the issue.

Won't matter as people tend NOT to read until they are scammed. Even then people still won't read and fall for the same crap over and over.
