Fucking Ponzi's and the idiots that buy into them + List of Shills

[Marcuson]

bumping in order to put an end to this ponzi craziness.

I think it's interesting that most people hanging around here are so liberal when it comes to weapon and drug trade but get all christy when it's about Ponzi schemes, because they're soooo illegal. I'm not defending ponzis, but to be honest if you can't handle it, turn off your computer, and you won't be exposed to it, I promise.

I think the problem is the dilution of the gambling section with spam.

To have the place spammed, is annoying for hard working developers trying to bring provably-fair games to the community.

Just stick them in their own gambling child section called "ponzis".

This is it. When I'm looking at 40 threads on the front page and 30 of them are ponzi related. It gets tiring. The situation seems to have improved some though.

That solution is one so extreme that it's stupid. It's equivalent to someone living in poverty and getting told they should kill themselves if thy can't handle it. Back on topic, ponzis are a pain in gambling and should be moved.

A pain in gambling for you perhaps. But you're not the only person who uses this forum and neither are the others who posted in this thread agreeing with you. If you don't like them why not just skip past the thread? All of them have ponzi in the title so its easy to do so.

You can't argue with it being a solution.
What a poor comparison though. Oh what problems you have, you have to ignore ponzis in the gambling section of a forum. What a cruel world, it's just as bad as living in poverty. Bohoo.

Idiot.

[a1choi]

what are some cons to moving ponzi's to their own subsection?

Yeah, you're right, I can't argue with a little kid who has an intellectual ability of a potato. If you cannot understand what hyperbole is please go find a dictionary (if you know what one is) and learn.

Lol, someone is obviously upset cause he's embarrassed about a horrible comparison and his pathetic rants about his first world problems.
Ran out of arguments - jumped to personal insults. Classic.

That is the million dollar question, isn't it!

There is no reason that there can't be a Ponzi section.  It would make those of us that don't do Ponzis happy, and it would make those that do Ponzis happy too I would think. 

I have not seen a reason not to do it.

exactly my point.  if anyone has any cons, i'd like to hear them.  i'm sure the ponzi guys wouldn't mind having their own section.  unless they think they can get more exposure in the gambling section...

agreed, ponzis are great, they deserve their own section!

i'm sure they would love their new place and keep it orderly and clean.

Yes, the main issue isn't really one of the morality or legality of Ponzis, but the fact they're off-topic in this forum and should be moved to a relevant forum, preferably some shit-pit toilet where they can swim in turds, choke on them and die.

Whoops, got emotional there at the end.

Incidentally, there is nothing at all inconsistent about libertarians despising Ponzis.  The fundamental principle of libertarianism seems to me to be the non-aggression principle.  Fraud is a species of aggression, in that it seeks to undermine the free and uncoerced choice of the victim.

Open Ponzis arguably do not fit in this mold, and I can imagine a kind of Ponzi that could be played as a game, if it were provably fair, i.e. the end of the Ponzi where profits are taken is actually determined by a known algorithm.  But "whenever Slick Eddie runs off with the money" is no such thing.

Also, such a Ponzi would still probably be illegal under lottery laws, but again, not relevant to this thread's issue.  Which is that the Ponzis that ARE being posted here are off-topic.  They are not gambling.  They are HYIP.  FUCKING MOVE THEM.

What blows my mind every time i visit the gambling section why they allow a flood of ponzi sites to clutter the first page.  Why would they even allow people to promote SCAMS on their forum?  I really do not understand this at all.

To me it seems like everyday there are more and more of these ridiculous ponzi scams.  It becomes brutal to swift through them all so you can find a thread worth reading.

Its makes me question whether the mods are in on these ponzi schemes to allow a blatant scam to be promoted.

Ponzis are not gambling they are a SCAM they will always be a SCAM how can you allow con artist and liars promote SCAMS?!?!?

It's allowed cause it is, it's not up to you to decide. If someone posts something racist here, does that mean the forum staff promotes it? No.
Anyways, updates about the issue is discussed here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=510636.msg5657950#msg5657950, and we'll post likely see a new forum section soon.

Quit whining already.

After reading some of the posts on this thread, I don't think that everyone quite understands what a ponzi scheme is. Here is Wikipedia's definition of a Ponzi Scheme http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme
