Scams are not limited to this forum, and people need to use their own good judgement in order to judge if something or someone is a scam.

No, of course they're not--but 1) Scams aren't moderated on this forum, which is unlike many other forums, and 2) There are probably way more scammers concentrated into the whole of bitcointalk than a random sampling of 10 forums put together (though I don't have data on that, of course). Newbies do need to be warned in my opinion, because they could easily click on a signature like that of a Betking campaign participant and get scammed.

I do agree that people are responsible for themselves and should be wary in the land of bitcoin as a general rule, but giving them a heads-up about possible scams is a neighborly thing to do.

It looks like Betking finally gave up that ridiculous campaign and "announced ^[yesterday]" it's done and dusted.
^{- Having said that, a lot of them are still wearing those signatures, and since almost all of them are considered as a bunch of throwaway or parked accounts, then there's a big chance that at least half of them would keep wearing it ^{[unintentionally]} for the meantime.}

Yay! And *groan*. I'm not so sure how many accounts are going to be parked, but hopefully it's a small enough number such that their posts get buried under time and a mountain of other posts until the next opportunity for them to awaken comes around.
