Beginner Question: Best Way to Learn BHW Without Breaking Rules?

Hi everyone,


I’m new to BlackHatWorld and currently going through the Newbie Guide and pinned threads.


I’d like to ask for some clarification from more experienced members:

1. For beginners, is it better to focus on reading and commenting first rather than trying to experiment right away?
2. Are there specific sections you’d recommend new members observe before actively participating?
3. When commenting on existing threads, what usually counts as a “value-added” reply from a moderator’s perspective?

My goal is to understand how BHW works properly and avoid breaking any rules unintentionally.


Thanks in advance, and I appreciate all the effort put into maintaining this forum.

Reading forum rules and checking how others post is a good start. Following journey threads and case studies teaches a lot. Asking clear questions and engaging with the community helps you learn the right way.

Once you have read all the topics in the Newbie Guide section, you will have no more questions.

The main thing is not to write in the Want to Buy or Hiring a Freelancer sections. Avoid them until you improve your rating and fulfill the BHW conditions.

The rest will come with experience.

Think twice before creating new discussion threads; it is better to use the search function and see if there are already similar questions to yours.

Yes, I recommend you read the comments and interact with the posts; you'll become familiar with the terms very quickly.
