Total nonsense.
You guys are going to kill both subforums.
Posting there gets you a tons of replies with diffrent kind of people.The diversity of these people make these both boards unique since you can find really anything you desire because of it.
Now you limit it to a small group who will have only basic most demanded staff killing the diversity what made that place unique.

If you are concerned about people getting scammed just close the board and the problem will be solved.

Babysitting from BHW gets way to far .
People call some yellow members bad names if they are not able or unwilling to spend for the Jr VIP membership maybe we should say that people who are getting scammed should change their "business" if they are not able to protect themself and are dependent on babysitting at the expense of others

Diversity of scammers with new accounts scamming other new members.

Well, as per you the section should be closed, and it will be dead, both are similar things.

If you look at shitlist most of them involve non jr. VIP members. In cases when a Jr. VIP was involved, the case was resolved by a refund or delivering of services.

Now, I am totally in favour of these new rules. It's just $97 to give you access to secret forum, access to earn money through freelancing and a tag that you are a genuine member.

Only those yellow members are effected those who relied on those sections for others it is still same.

Use the forum and suggestions section. And let us not fight each other. There is no point in doing that, let BHW team maintain the forum.

BHW worked till now without babysitting and requires now babysitting?
Maybe its the buyers fault ?
You think a $97 fee is going to protect from scammers ?
Any scam higher than $97 will still be profitable

but maybe you can explain to me for example where will i get as example a VK account with friends which i was looking for.
The only reply i got were from 2 russian people who offer no service at all.So by limiting them i wouldn't get what i was looking for anymore since non of them is going to buy a Jr Vip just because someone from time to time is looking for a VK account they got.

So to babysit people like you people like me won't find the desired product/service anymore since its going to be very limited

The forum has been around for years before you joined, it survived pretty well before with these rules in place

You mean without since these rules are new

If you had been around longer than just over a week then you would know that many of the threads in these sections have led to members being scammed.

People are also getting scammed on BST so are we limiting now all JrVIP's too and allow only Executiv?

BHW just killed the diversity which made these both subforums great.

@3dom Well, it is one of the side effects of new rules. You can only wait if any new rules are added later on. Other than that, there is nothing that can be done as of now.

Far from it. Your comment reads to me like someone who has been here a lot longer than 10 days.

WTB/HAF is littered with people posting from new accounts who make zero contribution to the forum. A lot of them don't read the rules and a fair number of them are here to scam other people.

You may think that the measures taken are draconian, but they are taken in the interest of BHW as a business and forum.

It's never been allowed for yellow members to sell their services in the freelancer section. It's always supposed to have been for people with sales threads to promote it there.

@3dom - those rules are not new as you can see from @Apricot's post.

This announcement thread, which has turned into a debate and forum suggestion thread, has run it's course.

The decision to make the adjustments to the HAF and WTB sections was not without a lot of thought and discussion and is meant to increase the quality of the forum.

I'll close it now as there really is nothing else to explain as things have been explained ad nauseum.

Sorry for bumping this @BassTrackerBoats
