Good / Sensible Guidelines for Using BHW - Help Zen19 :)

26. Go here and look for the appropriate section before you start a new thread. The left sidebar helps but it doesn't list each and every section BHW has. Click on the 'main forums' link for the complete list.

I'd just like to add, Zen19 absolutely correct.
This is not a support forum; however, we have created a support center with all the frequently asked questions users may have. http://support.blackhatworld.com/

As ever, just take the time to read; understand and enjoy the greatness that is BHW.

Jasmin Moderator :cool:


21/ Dont PM members whom you dont know asking them for help. This is not a support forum, people are busy with their own projects, and if they decide to help its because they are nice people. Keep your questions within a thread, so that everyone can benefit
 
27. Do not post when drunk.
Ohh, i understand you, Its biggest mistake i can do when im drunk lol. Need to get long password so i cant type ot when im drunk


Dahm, I must have missed that one, what a shame :)

Half the staff, and a lot of the bigger posters hang there and chat while they work. Sometimes its quiet, but other times its noisy. Get mIRC and leave it open always that way you get a nice live update and can jump in at any point.

I stop by at the chat every now and then and most of the times it's quiet. Maybe it's because of the time I am on (early mornings). However, when you are on at the right time, there are definitely a lot of people on.

As a matter of fact, I got my first BST approved after chatting with the guys there and getting to know Zen19!

So another advice: Come by and stop at the iRc. It's a great place to be and you can have a laugh around without needing to be taken seriously. Just chill out and get to know other members. It's a great way to make some friends in within BHW.
 
30. DON'T copy-paste threads from other forums here if you DON'T OWN the content, methods, insights just for the sake of farming for Thanks and Reps.
31. NEVER BEG for Thanks & Reps. Be cool and they will come naturally.
32. No smoke without fire - But DON'T ABUSE the rep system or else you risk getting your ass perma-banned!
 
Don't mislead when selling, we are not WarriorForum and we don't want to fool members.

And

If you are considered a respected member be professional and try to not insult newbies only because you are greater or smarter than them.

Yeah, just was there and had some good laugh , its cool place to hang out , need to visit it more
 
If you have a problem with someone, PM them, and if that doesn't solve the problem, PM a Mod. It is unprofessional to make private issues public.
 
Look around before asking about how to get Jr Vip as there are clear instructions?

Or before asking "whats the benefits of Jr. VIP?" lol, it's amazing how many people ask that, and how many times the same answers are repeated over and over.
 
Read the rules for each section before posting, because besides the standard forum rules, some sections carry their own set of rules.


For example: "The Shit List", "JV Section", "Freebies/Giveaways", and the "BST" sections have their own separate rules that must be followed.
 
10. Respect is given to those who help themselves.

A lot of my opinions center directly on the concept of "text". This is a text-based forum, and even though most people are loose with the language like "I hear what you are saying" etc... it's really alphanumeric characters strung together in order to convey meaning. It's a text-based universe.

Coincidentally, SEO and IM is also, for the most part, a text-based universe. Images are eye-candy that attract attention, but the real business of IM and SEO is done via text. One thing beginners learn about optimizing for images is that one must utilize the text associated with those images to the greatest extent possible because, Google's algorithm can only "see" text. It is completely blind to the images themselves, and they are meaningless.

Marketing is a money-focused endeavor, and it is a competitive endeavor also. BHW puts a lot of effort into emphasizing a friendly, cooperative environment I think primarily because it is populated by self-driven, money-focused and competitive type "A" personalities. It takes a certain amount of coercion to get highly-motivated, egoist, self-centered and driven people to fall into some kind of social order. I think it is like, as they say here in Texas, "herding cats". So the continuous threats of punitive repercussions are only because of who is here.

I think it is important for the newb to be aware of

1) Who they are
2) Where they are, and
3) Who they are surrounded by
4) What standards they are being measured by
5) Why they are here, i.e. what do they hope to accomplish, what goals do they have

I can't claim to have any special swami-guru awareness of exactly how these questions are answered, but I do believe that this is the fundamental framework that must be considered.

This is the "known universe" and it is governed by these immutable laws. It was set in motion somehow, either by God himself or the "Big Bang" and the only thing that changes the natural momentum of things is the influence of the text that is created by the people on this forum. It's the only thing that people have power over, and it's the only thing that is capable of changing, and of making change.

So, to demonstrate talent with the use of the text earns respect. Either by the clarity of the meanings conveyed by the text, or the skill and/or determination showed when searching for relevant or interesting text; all text-related talent is easily recognized by people that are interested in turning talent with text into money. Or for entertainment purposes, even. The shared humor with an unknown person, that intimate contact made through a skillful use of text when expressing a wry or sarcastic sentiment; it's not ALWAYS about money. (Which, btw, is why I don't use "smilies". It dumbs-down the meaning I'm trying to convey to the very people I'm trying to exclude, and is disrespectful to the people I'm really trying to connect with.)

Conversely, failing to adequately title a thread with optimal text, failing to search for a thread that has text that is the same as the text a person wants to start a thread about, failing to notice the text on a certain thread is 3 years old, failing to use text to spell words properly, failing to insert breaks in the middle of a "wall of text", failing to treat the text with the respect the text deserves, ALL of these failures invite those of us that respect text to cast scorn and derision upon those that fail, in a text based universe, to recognize the critical importance that text has, here.

gnome sayin'? aight den. Jus' keepin' it real, homies. Peace out.
