Forum Rules should be made more clear

[Fresh Ideas Marketing]

Forum Rules should be made more clear and easy to understand.

I feel in upcoming version of BHW rules should be made more clear to understand things.

For instance, in recent past I did a couple of mistakes and I was not aware that I had broken the rules.

I think rules on BHW are written in small fonts need to zoom the window to read them carefully.

It is no where mentioned what a member can say in public to staff what can't without being rude.

There were times when I had no intention to break rules but I broke.

Now, I am really afraid to speak about things. This was not the condition ever before on Black Hat World.

Also, if preimum members will have some different or extra points, like more than 3 infraction or something like that will provide great help. Many people will criticize this but I guess this is something really needed.

The only warning you have, which is expired, is because you offered to hire a person who is not allowed to sell here.

3.6 Advertising to, or solicitation of, any member to buy or sell any products or services through the unauthorized or impermissible use of the Site such as PM solicitation. (Note: If you have something you want to sell on this forum, post it in the For Sale section).

That is pretty clear.

There is nothing related to warning, or rule reminders but still I feel there is a need for this.By the way, that is what I would like to see. So, in suggestions.

That rule is clear.

Also, this is pretty clear - https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/updated-bhw-member-levels.889577/

You cannot sell unless you have the upgraded membership; asking or trying to buy from someone that does not have that level of membership is a violation of the ToS as I shared above.

What rules are not clear to you other than that one?

I understand the core model of BHW this was my only means of making money, but I feel strictness is on the top level. So, I just given a feedback.

Feed back is 110% fine but I'm not sure what is not clear to you in the rules.

Yeah, we enforce the rules but those are public but if there is some that are not clear all the staff would like to hear that.

This is a great post that summarises the core rules in an easier to digest format. It doesn’t cover everything, but it gives a better insight into what the rules are really striving to achieve:

There’s also a lot of similarly valuable content in the newbie sections of the forum (don’t be put off by the name, I’ve personally found lots of valuable stuff in there as well).

I will say , being a member from 2008 if you feel I am entitling something. So, that is great. But I already got what I was looking for from @davids355 's post.

So I request, please close or remove the thread.

 

[davids355]

Well, you’ve got a few answers and a few valid points to digest.

Thread closed.
