Since many people seem to bring up this argument: If its an illegal thing then why is there a ponzi section here in the forum?
Admin's(BB) stand on the matter

This is, first and foremost, a discussion forum. Banning someone for breaking a law/contract/agreement is unnecessary, especially when we have the feedback system. People are capable of making up their own minds on who to trade with as long as they have all the information. Breaking a law doesn't mean you don't have anything to contribute.

All that aside, nobody wants to take the amount of time it would take to personally verify every instance of scamming beyond a reasonable doubt. Do you have hours to kill every day, for nothing in return besides a "Thanks!" or "Fuck you!". Or just let people decide for themselves?

For the people who seem to question this(most likely for their personal gains, i.e getting away with advertising a ponzi , while earning a few bucks and not getting a neg for it) .
The staff do not get involved with deciding whether some service is a scam or not, its the community that has to decide that using the feedback system.

Edit: And just because a certain service is filling a board doesn't mean the board is solely dedicated to it, it would like saying because most of the services in Service ANN. are Exchanges, its a exchange board.
Along with that , some people do seem to like ponzis no matter the risk, the neg only serves as a "reminder" that the person is advertising something that will not be fulfilled, whether you decide to agree with it and no invest or ignore it(while knowing the risks) and invest, depends on you
