Why are you asking the staff/mods?

Moderators on most forums and websites have no power to change policies. On bitcointalk it's pretty much the same. They can't ban either. Asking mods continuously to ban x person for owning a ponzi or block y threads is just harassing them, because they can't anyway. And the administrators have made their stance perfectly clear.

Anyway, I believe if you read the 1000 other threads open on this topic, you would've found out that theymos is contemplating a section for Ponzis and other HYIPs.

This has come up before. The main issue is that ponzis are very similar to both other gambling sites and real investment sites, so it's difficult to create a category that includes exactly the right things. How about this:


Would this description cover any real investments or non-ponzi gambling sites? Would it fail to cover any ponzis that have existed in the Bitcoin ecosystem?

Also, are any actual users of the Gambling section irritated by this, or are people just trying to hide this kind of game? Is anyone against the creation of this section?
