should Ponzi's be in the gambling section?

I think its pretty obvious they don't belong with legitimate gambling sites.

Maybe a sub-category is proper. IMO something needs to be done.

I agree, but I think that everything will run it's course shortly. They are popular right now because a bunch of suckers have shown that they are willing to lose some BTC chasing that dream. That spawns a bunch of similar sites trying to take advantage of those people. Once people smarten up/go broke, there will be no more interest thus then no more sites. I figure it'll take a week tops.

Even a blind man could see that these ponzis really don't belong in this section. I'm hopeful for a new sub, but I really wouldn't mind it if they just deleted all the threads (ain't gonna happen). The whole thing has become a giant conglomerate of crap posts.

As much as it sickens me to see ponzi operators rape this young community, I don't think they they should be deleted.

However this is not not gambling, its a scheme. A ponzi scheme. Gambling involves a game.

I'd like to see a "Ponzi" child-board. I use them... till they die.

Eh, I'm not too sympathetic to those who get fleeced, if your a complete idiot and you cannot learn from your mistakes then you really are asking to get screwed. Anyway, it's just frustrating to have to filter out all the ponzi garbage whenever I come here.

Another problem is the "one thread per site" rule isn't being enforced. There are people making 3, 4, 5 threads to promote additional incarnations of their ponzi instead of keeping it confined to one thread (where everyone can see how much they owe).

Like I said, I use them till they die. I get INSANELY mad at the ones who come back to the post, and whine to the OP. "YOU DIDN'T PAY ME!!! (I always get annoyed at the ones who add "Sir" to the end.) HERE'S MY TRANSACTION ID ON THE BLOCKCHAIN! (Then the part that really annoys me) Thanks, and have a very nice day!" Like, damn! Can you not figure out you just got scammed?!

Totally agree. Ponzi schemes should be removed.

It's still a form of gambling though, and I don't think there's enough reason to create a new subforum just for them. This is really the most appropriate place for them at the moment, but that doesn't exactly mean they belong here.

It should be at games and round , since it wont take long to close down .

Obv they should not be here , its ponzi but some time it will end up a scam .

It will be better if everyone only play 1 ponzi who charge by reputate owner .

I'm also running a Ponzi. I think mainly due to manager really appreciate the program will thrive.

Well, they aren't really Ponzi schemes, and they are gambling games since the player is gambling that they wont be the biggest fool.

haha so true

Ponzis don't belong to gambling. Ponzis belong to scams section. Because sooner or later some one would be crying that he didn't get his bitcoin back.

Ponzi is just lies and hope... it's not even doing anything.

+1

"Ponzi" is by definition a scam.
It's amusing that the operators are being realistic in their title for their operations, and that people invest regardless.

But how can the Administration here not take any responsibility for allowing scammers to openly post, in effect, "I have a scam that I would like you to invest in. You are guaranteed to ultimately lose money"?

Who cares about what other people do with their money?
