remove investor-based games

many people lose money in hyip program, are you agree if sub forum investor-based game removed ?

[antiuser1]

No. Yes, people loose money. That is absolutely what you have to expect when you gamble. Free people can still choose to participate. And if someone stumbles on such a site in the wild, this bitcointalk section has proven to be a good place to look up for other peoples opinions and experiences. That way some naive people get to see the warning which otherwise would not even exist.

That won't happen cuz gambling section will be the one flooded by hyip and ponzis if ever that will happen. Admin won't let that happen again. Just get used to this section.

Your/Someone's loss is not forum's nor this section's fault, it's your/someone's stupidity's fault.

It was created to differentiate them from other more legit gambling sites. People who visit this section of the forums should already be aware of the risks in this forum. Many members has been warning people not to participate in investor-based games. The choice is up to theirs. I would like this forum to remain here.

Yes he is and I think he is not successful in all of his scam attempt and even lost bitcoins on some ponzi he invest with so right now he want to delete this section due to his frustrations

this is sub forum gambling, and people will be lose or get profit, if you not want to lose your money, don't played on sub forum investor-based games, and admin already had warned to anyone!

The investor-based games was here to separate the threads of these ponzis/hyip from the actual legit gambling sites that we have here in the forum. If I remember correctly back in 2014 or early 2015, when hyip and ponzi suddenly pops up and the gambling section was flooded every seconds with their threads so theymos and staff made this sub-section to make it more cleaner. The same thing will happen again once this sub-section gets deleted.
It is in the gambling board so you guys should know that there is a risk of loosing your money. There is a warning above if you guys haven't read it or didn't even bothered to read. Also it's not the sub-section fault if you guys loose money, it was your decision to entertain such scheme so the fault was and is always in you. If you don't want to loose your money, then don't risk in these ponzis. Don't go near this sub section and you will not risk your coins.

IMO this topic is pretty useless, since it wont get removed by making a whining thread. No Offense.

[skyline_king]

wow the fucking cry baby that bitch when they lose.
you knew the risk when you sent them coins. if you did not then you should read.

as for these stupid wanna be police that think they can tag people with trust for using the site as intended then your worse then scammers blackmailing people.

so suck it up buttercup and next time read .

They lose money of their own free will. Any person with half a brain can spot something as fishy as this.

Some sites pay, some sites dont. But overall, it's best to tell newbies to be aware.

[Stroto]

No need to remove just rename. You never invest in those sites. You can play with them but never consider that investing. "Ponzi's, Pyramids and HYIPs" would be a better name

yes and if newbs can't read that there own fault not ours.

it is in gambling and it is a risk the issue is people use hyip as a easy money but really they need to view them all as a high risk gambling game

[Naoko]

there is no investor based games section in the past and those operator of ponzis flooded the gambling sections with their shit so the admins decided to create proper section for them, now if investor based section will be removed then we will see the gambling section flooded again

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I have to be honest, I've probably had a little read of that section like once. It seems full of crap & I know that the content there isn't very well respected in other areas of this forum.

[Zeke2345]

Bitcoin is about freedom and the more we attack aspects of the community the more it becomes like government. This in turn renders bitcoin useless as the nannies will enforce their aspect of laws onto the majority,either creating sheep thinking or subtracting the group till its just like minds.
The people that want to control are in it mostly for personal gain and use tactics of control to eliminate competition or agendas that do not align with their own.

As much as you want to help people,the more of a problem it will become for them. Vices are our own personal paths and leaning on some one to change only makes them that much more resistant to it. This is how I view ponzi schemes and whatever other investment risk you want to drum up.

[Decoded]

If people can't read what's right under their nose (in red script and italics at the top of the board), then it's their fault. You're obviously butthurt because you invested in a scamzi. Learn to read.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

This used to be called the Ponzi section if I'm not mistaken, and the purpose of it baffles me.  It's like gambling for the retarded, and this forum would do well to just nuke it--and I've said that in other threads.  I think this forum is probably the only one in existence that has a subsection specifically for people to willingly sign up for Ponzi schemes.

But that's bitcoin.  We have some of the smartest people here and also some of the stupidest.

[jacee]

This used to be called the Ponzi section if I'm not mistaken,

No, it was originally named investor-based games. I was here in the forum way back when it's not here yet and the main reason why they put an investor-based games sub-section is to separate the ponzi to the legit gambling games that people are advertising here. Back then people kept creating new threads about these ponzis and users are complaining on how there should be a separate setion for it so that the gambling threads will not be flooded by these ponzis.
Obviously it's purpose is to keep the freedom of those ponzi enthusiast and at the same time be able to sweep their hyips scam in one part of this forum because without it we know that people will still create ponzi threads in other sections so it's bet that they have their own part. Let's admit that mos people in here invest in them. Without investors here, there will be no ponzis popping up each day.
Also don't blame it on the investor based games. You have your own mind so you are the one who are incharge of your coins. You decide what to do with it. And for petes' sake, have you guys not read those big CAVEAT EMPTOR above every single thread of the invetor-based games. If you are complaining because you lost your money then it must have you not having a common sense to understand how things works in there.

[CrimBit]

i think the warning is enough to make you understand about investor-based games sub forum.

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.
