Hi, I'll try to present you, what should be done, and I will be offering the best methods (my view)

I am not the one who carries knowledge, but ideas.
That being said, I understand that it's easier to say than done.

1) Spammers
No matter if they post random or unique content, there should be a rule that block posting.
Rule cannot be written simple, it has to be advanced, with levels.

How it looks:
After 1st reply or thread post there is a time frame of 30 seconds
After 2nd reply or thread post there is a time frame of 30 seconds

This means that After the user reply/thread post, it should be a 30 seconds without another reply/thread activity

After 3rd reply there should be at least 60 seconds of delay
After 4th reply there should be at least a 120 seconds of delay

If these rules are broken, User certain posts should be hidden
This action holds until the mod do a manual review

It is really unreal for a human to be this quick and reasonable with his activity at the same time.


2) Disabling Posts

So, many BHW users are often unhappy with some forums.
We could mark this as: It's a taste.

If BHW Staff decide to workout this subject, I believe that everything is very clean about this one.
You don't like a certain post, open it and from there, you should be able to disable it (hide it for you)


3) Bumping Old Threads

I will stop here shortly to say you something guys.
You run this forum, Staff/Mods are mostly serving your commands.

Use that REPORT BUTTON and don't Bump these threads behind the random guys, saying em, why you done this.

Instead, click Report button and type something like: Thread should be locked.


4) Scammers, the Most Important Battle


We need to understand how this works 1st:

Being a Jr Vip member is not that hard.
Providing a service to serve a single Mod is not that hard.

Boom, here you have it, your Sales Thread.

And let me say this: I completely agree with everything above, I would not change anything!


BUT, we have a problem, let's call it : authority abusing.


Let's assume that for whatever reason, the seller becomes unable to provide his service.
(his service is %100 dead, poof)

Do you know what that means?
It means that seller can make more money that he made ever before, selling on BHW.


This is what happens in most of cases, and here is why you are scammed!


I have studied this field a lot, and trust me, I know more than YOU about YOUR Shitlist thread.
Why? Because I love to study human mind, and you have to post because you're scammed.
Love makes you understand everything about the field you love, so I dare to talk the way I talk.

The Solution for the Most Important Problem is This One:

New Badge - Marketplace Buyer
Light Red Color (cost $49,99 /year) [Details are for fun, Staff will know better]

All other Paid members should also be auto-added in this plan. (Jr Vip, Premium)

In Additional, New Badge Highlights:
- Unique User Look (you have to pay to have it)
- Ability to Smooth Report or Receive a Report of a Seller who might be a scammer
- More Respect (better chances for Free Reviews, Free Trials, Freebies)


How This Works?

You have a issue with your seller.
There is a Report button, But No, you won't use that one.

There should be another button for all Paid members. Name it however you wish.

All Paid Members Are in an E-mail Group

Button function: Report the seller, Refund is Issued


Effect of this method: 1 User report 1 Seller = All Paid Users will receive an E-mail + Inbox message.
Additional Info: Buyer who Report must include Transaction ID

Transaction ID helps the Seller to Respond Back and Defend, in case he is Right.


How this helps the Community to stay SAFE?

Multiplying! Sellers who want to scam will work with as many users they can, and they will be taking new orders all the time.

If you smell something fishy, and press a button for a refund, all paid members will receive an E-mail, saying that you @user had reported the @seller.

If there are two, or more, everyone will know it, and they won't get scammed!
Forum has to provide an alert system, and you have to be the human factor = solution.

To defend the Sellers, users who provide false alarms could get banned! (upon mod review)
Do not forget, we talk about PAID Users here, nobody should be that stupid to lose his paid membership for invalid report.

This should have sense. Happy to hear your feedback, bring it on!
 
One thing I would like to improve is search.
Search results are not good enough and show old threads that could also be reason for bumping old threads.
If search results can show marketplace threads first and than regular posts all sorted with date it ll be more easy to find services and fresh posts.

You are right, the search is not ideal, but majority are searching BHW using Google and that is perfect.
As long as you type blackhatworld.com in keywords, and eventually sort out the date, results will be good.

Still, I agree with you. This could be improved.
 
Oh my god what an unorganized mess of a thread this is.

Please gather your thoughts and organize if you want anyone to take you seriously and actually read this shit... Jesus bro.
 
Did you think how much manpower BHW would need to implement these and apply them? Creating a new "user group", Manually checking posts, Managing disputes... what if the seller doesn't agree to the decision mods made?
 
Let's wait for BHW 2.0 which will be out soon.
Many of these are good ideas and either are currently in play or are things we can implement in 2.0
We appreciate your passion and ideas to assist the community.

I'm building something to contribute to BHW which will greatly increase both the BHW visitors and current member's user experience.
The most important benefit is the decreased bounce rate and increased sales for the marketplace sellers.
I envisioned BHW easily hitting 5M UVs which is currently at 4M according to the similarweb.
It will make a perfect fit for BHW 2.0. Drop me a PM about the approximate launch date and I'll try to finish it by then.
