Permanent Closure Of Banned Topic Threads - Forex, Football Betting, Binary by naijacutee(f): 12:47pm On May 04, 2020
Seun a while ago, expressed why gambling schemes such as forex, binary options and cryptocurrencies were no longer allowed on this board.

Whether it is because we have not been vigilant enough or because we have been easily coerced, certain "super threads" on these banned topics have grown in the business section.

To be fair to all involved and to ensure that everyone is treated equally, we would need to consider locking these threads, specifically the ones below:

Has anyone suffered as a victim to any of these threads, or does anyone have any reasons why they should be kept open?

I do not know of anyone who have fallen victim in any scam in those threads, especially the binary thread or forex thread. I do not know of the football bet thread (it's gambling according to my book).

There's always a disclaimer that is attatched to the financial markets.

There are people that make their daily income from the financial markets.

I don't know if you have traded forex before... It is just like our local bureau de change guys... That involves some level of risks.

Binary options is just like the younger brother of forex.


They are not for everyone... Just for few risk takers.

Kindly review and restore back the binary options thread. That thread has been in existence since 2012.

Seun, To be sincere, I don't think it is fair to blacklist betting on this forum. I do not see it as a form of scam or illegal business. In the developed world, we have punters who take betting as a full time business. You see them staking on different games and casinos.
Every businessman / investor is a gambler. They stake (invest) their money into something they think will bring returns.
You also gambled in 2005 when you created nairaland. You staked some money (domain name, hosting, design, etc) against some odds.
Thank God you won and you are still winning.

His reasons are pretty good. I feel this is enough to leave it banned. For the benefit of the majority.
Lots of people who would otherwise not have gambled have stumbled upon these threads and have been lured into parting with their hard-earned money.

Oga Seun, everything we do in life is a gamble, one way or the other.
Some people sleep at night and don't wake up in the morning, other's travel and never return home.
Trading on financial markets(or gambling as you may like to call it) is no different than the above mentioned human activities.
Let us not give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.
Have been working in the financial markets since 2012, I feed my family and also pay staff salaries from this same industry.
Please don't permanently close the threads sir.

Thatbis why the legal age for betting is 18+. At this age, it is believed you are old enough to take responsibility for your actions

I see no reason banning these threads and though people do get scammed or lose their money, they're usually aware of the risk before embarking on it, and with or without these threads, they will still find other platforms to do so. No body will come here and give instances of how they lost their money. If any thread needs to be banned, it should be that Ashawo thread, or it should be renamed Trolling thread because there is 80% more of trolling, arguments and intimidation than sexcapades.

Leave the informational threads open.

But ban all ads related to those threads.

Seun if you ban or close this thread many people will leave Nairaland
Each and everyone of us have to be responsible for every action he/she takes
For you to sit down and start learning how to trade forex or how to bet on football games you must have gone through some thinking and conclude that it is what you want to do
We are all adult So naijacutee don't be a snitch face your life
People who learn this things are aware of the risk involve and they did not complain to you it is their decision
Age restrictions should be place on the thread not ban

Thank you for making your point very maturedly. This thread is partly educational, thanks to people like you.

Ban betting thread and see this forum crumble in minutes. We owe you no explanation on why you shouldn't scrap those threads. I believe that any punting related activities comes with a disclaimer and it's reserved solely for 18+. We've had a long debate years ago on why you shouldn't tamper with the betting thread and now we are back again in 2020 having another round of empty discussions on the same matter, who does that?
Seun and naijacutee, go on and an scrap those threads and stop moving back and forth like a headless chicken. Men are really tired of those empty threats angry
