Why? Some people can still get loans, and pay back on time.

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.

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.

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

+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.
