What is the meaning of this Warning? Has it been applied recently?

[btcsmlcmnr]

I saw the Warning today, and this is my first time I saw it, so I don't know it is a new kind of Warning or it actually been here long time ago.
Someone who know about the meaning and its launch time, please help me.

Warning: Moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor. Watch out for Ponzi schemes. Do not invest more than you can afford to lose.

I saw this Warning when I visit the thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5138910.0

Recently, a new Warning with Red Box for topics created by negative trust users
Guests - Read Warnings on potential scam projects started by Neg Trust Users

All threads on Security section has warning same as that, same in investor-based games section which topics are mostly for investments that require higher risk.

I remember this used to be the exact warning on the gambling section.

Warning: You are in the Gambling section. You are likely to eventually lose any money that you gamble/"invest". Additionally, moderators do not remove likely scams. You must use your own brain: caveat emptor. Do not gamble more than you can afford to lose.

But currently ,  I am not seeing any warning in gambling section or its child board. Is this warning removed now? and why?

The warning is very much self explanatory the forum duty is to look for every means to protects it's users and your duty is to hide to every warning giving by the forum to be on the safe side

That warning is also displayed on the Long Term Lending sub-board.

Not to derail the thread, but did you get a PM from luxel?  I ask because he spammed me in my PM box also.

It looks like you have to read this: to be clearer.

Beware of scams

This is a pseudonymous forum which emphasizes personal freedom and therefore also personal responsibility, so scammers are common. When trading, it's best to assume that everyone is trying to scam you, and act accordingly. Use an escrow, and take note of each user's trust ratings next to their posts and on their profiles. When you are more familiar with people around the forum, you should define your own trust list rather than using the default.

It has been there for a while though i don't visit those boards so often, i remember seeing it a couple of times. Not sure of the exact date it was put there but it has been long known that moderators do not remove likely scams as it may put lots of work on them to identify, analyze and remove scam

So usually community members come up themselves to identify scam and try to report to mods however, not all threads are deleted.
Therefore, it's just a warning to members not to assume that all posts that appear in those boards are scam free as mods may have missed out on some of them. One must do due diligence.

This warning is old, perhaps more than a year.
Its purpose is to warn because of the nature of that section is built on investment and Ponzi schemes (Securities.) Therefore, it will appear for all posts and is not limited to users with negative trust as in the last update.

it's quite self explanatory warning
it warns you that the subforum full of high risk investment models which have tendency towards scam
even when it's so obvious, mods still won't interfere and delete them, and it's up to you to protect yourself
the phrase caveat emptor emphasizes that, google it if you have no idea of its meaning
