craigslist section

**Trueblood** · 10-20-2009, 10:01 PM

Craigslist section should be paid OR visible to people who have been on the forum for 60 days and have 100 post count.

**ezcashplus** · 10-20-2009, 10:05 PM

Trueblood, I read a lot of your posts and agree and like most of what you have to say, but this has been brought up before.

I kind of agree with this and kind of don't. In my opinion they should just delete the entire craigslist section. That way methods will not be brought to the public and we can pm things to each other.

I just don't see either happening. We have had polls on this and everything else. The Mods will do what they want. I don't know any of the mods and have never chatted with any of them, but I trust Pofecker and believe if he thought this was best he would try to get it done.

I am not sure the reasoning behind not doing something like this, other they think it is pointless. I truly believe Pofecker would do something about this though if he needed to.

If CS is hidden & unlockable I don't get why CL wouldn't be, at this point. I can understand both sides of the story though.

**Trueblood** · 10-20-2009, 11:06 PM

Look around 80% of this forum is about craigslist.

**bert6911** · 10-20-2009, 11:08 PM

Didn't we do a poll for this a while ago, I thought the hiding it votes won.

But ya, I definitely second truebloods idea.

**ezcashplus** · 10-20-2009, 11:10 PM

I also second the idea. Can pofecker or someone else shed some light on why this is not happening? What is the reason that this section is allowed when most of the members would agree it needs to be hidden?

**Trueblood** · 10-20-2009, 11:13 PM

I would love for it to be hidden. Either make it a paid section, 50 posts, or a member for 60 days. I would bump to Jr. VIP just to view the craigslist section.

**ezcashplus** · 10-20-2009, 11:18 PM

I would also bump to JR. VIP just for craigslist. I am very interested in a mods point of view on this. Going to kick some ass at racket ball. Maybe when I get back, we will see.

**katie** · 10-20-2009, 11:20 PM

Trueblood,

I think you have a great point here! It would keep things more private and more seclusive to BHW members. Also more incentive to be a contributing member to BHW!

I do apologize in advance; I tried sending you a PM regarding something I wanted to run by you...but it's not allowing me to do so. There's something bizarre with my account. Would you mind PM'ing me your AIM perhaps? Thanks!

Katie

**Trueblood** · 10-20-2009, 11:24 PM

We all know if something is coming it is easier to defend ourselves. This is the same theory that pertains to craigslist. With the craigslist section being public it is easier for craigslist to stop us. If we make it private it will be much harder.

**Jared255** · 10-20-2009, 11:26 PM

Not really. CL has the budget to pay for access. And if you don't think they have accounts you are sadly mistaken

.

**Trueblood** · 10-20-2009, 11:28 PM

Do you think they have Jr. VIP in here?

**katie** · 10-20-2009, 11:29 PM

Yeah, probably...

Especially if they're always trying to keep it safe and they know BHW is a threat to that, haha

**bobfrapples** · 10-20-2009, 11:36 PM

I think you're wasting your breathe asking to hide it. It will always be something that gets us to this point of discussion. Today it's CL, yesterday it was Assoc. Content, before that it was CS and egay, and tomorrow it will be...

**katie** · 10-20-2009, 11:40 PM

Yeah, it's a valid topic of discussion...or debate...

I disagree

Craigslist and ewhoring is todays "trend" here . At jan / feb / march you would have said " this forum is 80 handling over cookies at ebay

before that was autoblogs

we should put up a bet for next trend lol

also as people said its not hard put some guy watch and post here to get jr.vip acces

twitter probably

**luckykittypurrpurr** · 11-01-2009, 03:02 AM

i agree, delete the section completely. jared is right, i dont doubt craigslist has jrvip member. and if they dont, all they have to do is pay for it.....

**Trueblood** · 11-03-2009, 10:54 PM

yeah i would delete it.

Take the craigslist section and make it private. Force the users of the CL section of the forum to have to type in a captcha phrase and then have the users verify themselves using a phone verification code. This, along with the $97 donation, should be enough to deter anyone from craigslist to be able to gain access to this section of the forum. Because as we all know, craigs is a non-profit corp and just cannot afford the entry fee, LOL.

Oh, by the way, also record all the IP address of those that attempt to log into that section of the forum and ban all the IP's that are coming out of san francisco.

Well, hope this made a few of you smile

The only way to be truly certain is to do a full background check.

There should be a closed section (paid or non-paid), where members are invite-only OR thoroughly checked. There are many people on this forum that we all trust explicitly, however for newer members it would be a matter of checking employer information. You would want to be certain that applicants do not:
- Work for Craigslist, ebay/paypal/kijiji, Backpage, Microsoft, Google, etc.
- Work for or in any industry that is investigation-related (ie, private investigators, etc).
- Work for any government industry.
- Work for certain segments of the education industry.

There are people out there who are extremely experienced in doing full background searches (and would only require a few pieces of information like full name, current address, etc).

If there were a section with decent security -
- There would be more sharing of information; post quality would increase dramatically.
- We would all make more money
- We would be able to freely trade services (without fear of lawsuits being brought against us).
- Responses to changes in CL, etc, would be much, much faster.

well, if you go by your list of excluded occupations than that counts me and my friend out. we post like crazy on cl and we are in those occupations. and i can assure you we are no spies, just in it for a buck.

The more people know about your business, the less of a profit margin you will have. Sooooooo..........

CLOSE IT!!!!!!!!!

**stukie crisp** · 12-27-2009, 10:44 AM

Yea I'll have to agree with a lot of what is being said on top of me in this thread. Only thing is, how do we evolve this community by closing parts of it off to noob members. It's hard to find the right way to facilitate these kinds of discussions, but perhaps having members who have worked together vouch for each other... Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

**nimbus49** · 12-28-2009, 01:54 PM

Loose lips sink ships!

**brooksyd2** · 01-02-2010, 02:55 AM

I agree that there needs to be some kind of control over the release of methods to noobs. I'm sure we have all seen a method posted and minutes later Craigslist becomes saturated with the exact method word for word.

However, if you are proposing to delete the CL section completely, why not delete the Blackhat tools section as well. And the CPA section. In fact just get rid of Making Money completely. I thought the point of this forum was to share information and strategies with each other so we can all profit. Ok we need some control over how the information is shared, but deleting it altogether seems a bit counter productive.

Anyway, im fairly new (at least actively), so im not sure how much my opinion is worth. Just thought I would throw it out there.
