The new section is called "Investor based games" so doesn't really include deliberate fraud attempts by scammers pretending to mine.
They should stay in the wild, Service announcements etc., in my opinion, where they can continue to get called out by the community.
Then IMHO 'ponzis' shouldn't be there as it is also a fraud attempt but not as 'mine'.
If anything, "traditional" ponzi schemes pretending to mine or trade forex or arbitrage or whatever should be called out should they try to pose as a 'game' in the new section.
But... fake cloud minings
are ponzis. There is a thread by Puppet, you should read it if you haven't.

I understand what fake cloud mining is and what ponzis are Muhammed, I have posted in that thread.
The point I am trying to make is that there is a "last in loses" type of game which has become popular and is referred to quite openly as a "ponzi
game". They are not pretending to mine or trade, just paying some players with other players money, usually based on time of "investment" (bet) and keeping an admin % profit. That's what the new section is for.
The theory is that people who play these games understand the rules and are satisfied that they are "fair". (Personally, I have a problem with that because it's impossible to verify that the game operator is not also playing and using his position unfairly, but that's OT.)
This makes them different from scams which pretend to be cloud mining or trading but are actually real ponzi
schemes, paying the early investors with later investors money, whilst pretending that the revenue is from legitimate business activity and being sold via referral schemes to naive 'investors' as legitimate businesses.
