How To Submit A BuySellTrade Thread

2. Send a PM to a one or more of the BHW staff, this should:
3. Include a brief summary of your proposed product/service and the pricing at the top of the PM.
4. Include the title used for your BST thread.
5. Include the full text of your proposed BST thread.
6. Include requirements, if any, for the moderator to review your service.
7. NOT be sent to 'Moderators In Training'.
8. It is required that a Moderator review your service, and it is expected that you provide the top level package or service if this is applicable. If you are unable to provide this, you are unable to service the large market that BHW provides.
9. Wait patiently to hear back from the staff regarding your BST, DO NOT send follow up PMs requesting the status of your thread.

Why Was My BuySellTrade Thread Denied?

Having a BST is a privilege, not a right, staff are under no obligation to approve any thread.

If you do not receive a response from the staff after two weeks, assume that your thread has been denied. We do not discuss the reasons for denied threads, so don't PM asking, this will not get your thread approved.

Useful Advice:

Many of the moderators are available on IRC (irc.blackhatworld.org #blackhatworld), should you need to discuss your BST or its status, it is appropriate to ask here. Be courteous though, as pestering the staff will result in your application being denied.
