Ponzi world taking over gambling section

[hilariousandco]

I do think the Ponzis should have a sub-board in the gambling section. Put a warning saying "SITES MAY SCAM! BE CAUTIOUS!" on it for Newbies.

Only may be? I'd advise stating that it's more than likely a scam or that it's very probable that you'll lose money.

So Bitcoin Forum has no problems with scams being run on their site.

The rules clearly state that Admins and Mods will not remove likely scams. Apart from Ponzis, there are still plenty scams around.

regardless of the content of the ponzis, they are breaking the "one site per thread" rule by copy-pasting the scams to new domains almost daily. 

I'm all for "games and rounds" housing them all for now also if making a new sub is too hard.

I heard that the script was distributed by someone to many newbies.

That's only if the same owner has posted the same site right? If someone makes a thread to discuss about the thread does that count?

Hmm... I did not notice that! If it's truly the case that they are buying a domain just to bypass the uniqueness rule, then clearly they are violating that rule. I'll look into this.

YES PLEASE GIVE A SUB-FORUM ITS ANNOYING!!!!

Vote for the ponzi section. It will help people think first before enter it

I dunno how dishostest these ponzis are being, but recently Seals has been hacked at least once. A couple nights ago I tried Seals ring games for the first time in a while and they were dead.

Only so much of this degregation in the Bitcoin gambling scene (because Seals WAS the center) is embarassing.

A lot of ponzi threads have sockpuppet newbie accounts talking to each other, sharing their "payment proof". This can be very misleading.

I think the majority use sock puppet accounts to get the ball rolling and to try provide some "proof" that they actually pay out.

I can confirm that some pay to the end, some pay at first then sca.m (bit4max), almost all stop after 20, 30, 50 or 100 deposits

I'm sure there are a handful that are honest and intend to pay out as long as they can, but most will usually take the money and run at some point, especially when it looks like it's going to fail soon.

Yes, we don't know they are honest or not

Actually most ponzi sites don't even buy hosting/domain. They are on sites like:

*.yolasite.com, *.webs.com, *.byethost.com, *.net84.net, *.1ufh.com

Obviously many are from 1 user. Just check posts like:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483162.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=483633.0
The posts are literally the same.

Honestly it's really out of hand. The problem is that a ponzi might run for like 10 idiots "investments" and after that no one makes a depo so the owner can run with the money. Then he will have to make a new website/account to keep running his ponzi schemes. Since he has to make a new site every few days he will use free hosting sites.

1) Can you guys at least make a new forum for it? Just call it Ponzi/HYIP?

2) Also could there be a requirement that a Gambling topic at least need an own domain name? No free sub-domain / hosting? That would clear 90% of them and especially the ones that are even scamming and spamming extra hard (not giving any money back.)


I will be happy to report them (like I am reporting others topics too) but the rules are not completely clear for me. At this point I am only reporting them if they don't have a website at all.

It's always the same reason: greed. People need to realise get rich quick schemes are usually always lose money fast schemes. People also need to learn if it's too good to be true then it probably is rule.

It already exist, but a new playground was added: http://www.talkgold.com/forum/

Half of the offers on the Securities board are Ponzis. A separate Ponzi board will create a false sense of safety.

EDIT Or no wait:

I will invite more people when i see this working. Hope we can keep it alive for u .
Ponzi iz the man !

Sweet! I GOT PAID !
Now lets wait a few people and invest again
This is fun .

Random Ponzi topic reply. Note the word 'invest'.
