Let's Ban Gambling Signatures/ Advertising

[Don Pedro Dinero]

It is curious because bitcoin started to become more popular and adopted thanks to gambling, and also to the drug market on the deep web.

Those who want to ban bitcoin use the same reasoning: bitcoin can lead to drug trafficking and other crimes, so, ban bitcoin.

Gambling has a dark side because some people end up having problems but this guy is clearly a troll.

Banning websites, forums, which have spread information of bitcoin and advestiments on gambling using bitcoin, like BTT forum.

Here on bitcointalk we should strive to be a place of integrity and high morals.  If we trade in our morals for the allure of money we are essentially scumbags.

A lot of young users will get drawn in by these evil sites like fortunejack, bitdice, etc.  We should  protect these newcomers and not expose them to gambling websites.  

I will be starting a petition to ban all gambling advertising, gambling boards, and gambling discussion to be completely removed on bitcointalk.

Let's make this a safe place for new users and people with low IQ that don't understand odds and how the house will always win in the end.

Casinos are predatory by nature and are their sole mission is to extract as much money as they can from customers.

Banning improper advertising and campaigns might be sounding ethically correct but you also need to be practical. The admin has denied advertising slots in suspicious cases , so he is already doing everything possible.

Now coming back to gambling related projects, if the site is genuine it should not be a problem. I mean if the website starts cheating the players, then it is something worth removing. The campaigns you mentioned are running for years here without any such major complaints.

Let people gamble. They are not doing any harm to anyone, maybe harming themselves.

You think you are "protecting people from themselves", but you are causing a greater damage than what you want to combat.

Well, I don't think millionaires who hang out in Macau and Vegas would agree with your theory about "low IQ" being one of the reasons for gambling.

I had evidence of someone that was exchanging sex for merit, the issue has already been resolved by the way.

On the other hand, theymos don't allow to advertise ICO's, NSFW websites, various kind of investment websites on forum ad slots, so he can reject ads of gambling websites if he would want, but as you see he don't think that's something wrong to promote gambling websites. And forum users can advertise whatever they want in their signatures. You even can advertise thing which aren't even absolutely legal.

I came to an agreement with the guilty party so the proof will not be shown.  I'll leave it at that.

Agreement? What kind of agreement?
Sex for the proof or merit for the proof? Lol

[pugman]

Yeah no. You ain't a lawyer or a judge to do that. Now come on, admit it that someone slept with you for merit and then never called you back.

[madnessteat]

I think that there is no sense to prohibit it on bitcointalk. Everyone has their own head on their shoulders. You can't learn from someone else's experience. I apologize for my English.

At the end of the day we are talking about something which is highly subjective, and applying any kind of moderation to highly subjective issues never really works. If you don't think gambling is moral then don't visit that section. If you find the advertisements annoying then that's a personal issue. 

[Taki]

"evil sites like fortunejack", "people with low IQ", OMG what are you talking about! There are many people who are thankful to such sites as fortunejack and so on. Yes, the house always win and it is like logical thing, that's why gambling business is blossoming over the world. I am not agree that the forum should be cleared up from gambling signature campaigns, if a person has really low IQ he will be scammed in any case and the whole forum is dangerous to him in this case.

[matthewoz101]

The person that gave you 1 merit point advertises a gambling signature

[Parodium]

You do realize that gambling is part and parcel of human nature right? Even if there is no money involved, we find ways to gamble our time, belongings and ideas. In fact, gambling is almost as old as human civilization, and a rudimentary form of stake based gambling is found in almost all mammals.

Let's be honest, this is a niche forum, there are very few children on this website, and certainly even fewer are unaware of the risks of gambling. Yes, these people have a chance to lose a lot of money, but that's their choice. They also stand a chance at winning a significant amount of money if they gamble carefully at the most opportune moment.

70% of staff and other trusted members are either involved directly with casinos or indirectly are supporting them, you are suggesting to cut down their income. good luck on that.
