The section was added to separate "investor based games" and the more traditional gambling types like dice/cards, etc. Both gambling communities were complaining because they were constantly fighting over the main gambling section, and it just became a bump war. Its not that Bitcointalk supports investor based games in particular, its just that it needed its own section to solve that dispute.

Trashing them all is an option I suppose, but trashing all forms of gambling is also an option. I can't fathom why this discussion comes up every day. If you don't want to gamble, stay out of the gambling section. Trust being unmoderated is a good and bad thing (mostly good in my opinion) people can go around marking whoever they want for whatever reason. Bitcoin mining is a gamble, so maybe I'll give negative trust to anyone involved with Bitcoin mining! If I did that, everyone would just ignore my feedback, and the problem solves itself.

Everything is just someone's point of view. If you are someone who doesn't care about "investor based games" and any of their implications, just ignore cryptodevil's feedback. If you are someone who finds them wrong and don't wish to do business with anyone involved, then heed their warning and don't. Its not really a big deal.

but isn't it logical to either allow or disallow people posting in that section? everyone, every single post, gets tarnished with red trust unless they are negatively posting about the "game" or "program"...why not just make the board info more clear for people who find it hard to understand that way cryptodevil and other members do not need to do this and those that actually want to play, can play without their profile being destroyed?

It's in the gambling section and it's called an Investor-based game, so you should realize that you have a risk of losing money. The red trust lets players see that it's not a positive thing to support but cryptodevil doesn't speak on behalf of the forum
