>The section is not named ponzis go here for a reason.
What's the reason?
They are games based on an "investment", a form of PvP gambling. A ponzi is not openly telling you that it is one, it will try to hide the fact that they do nothing but moving funds around until the very end. A ponzi is by definition a scam, but its based on secrecy. Same with the gift cards, you cant tell in advance which ones are carded and which not.

How do you know its "BADTHING" and not "FORM OF GAMBLING"?
Have we shifted the topic to discussing whether Ponzis are bad? Up until now I assumed that we're in agreement on that? If you wish, I could explain why ponzis are illegal in most of the civilized world.
No, I agree that a ponzi is bad. I would also not play the games in this section, but I will defend the right to play them for those that want to. If you cant see the difference between the game based on a ponzi principle and a straight ponzi I understand you, because I had problems understanding this concept at first as well.
