Cause the new bhw 2.0 will have new marketplace, and bhw will act as middleman(this way seller doesn't provide his own site) . If i am not wrong @Diamond Damien say it will launch at 6 week.

I wonder if we imagine that BHW 2 will do more than it actually will. However, if it fixes this problem, that would be nice. Can you point me to where he says it will launch in 6 weeks?

It's not really a question of a rule change as fake reviews already have a 3 strikes and you're out system in place. It's the ability to verify that sales are actually being made on the forum to the buyers that raise the issues, and the only true way to do that is for BHW to verify the sale as we outlined last year https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/bhw-marketplace-2-0-thoughts.1106901/ this is of course a massive project and something that we needed to find the right team for. We've taken a scenic route to get here, but BHW 2.0 will be launched in the next 6 weeks with our awesome team. This move gives us the platform to build a marketplace on that we've always wanted to and belive the community deserves. Your thoughts, comments and concerns will naturally be taken into consideration many of which can be found already https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/bhw-marketplace-2-0-thoughts.1106901/

If people are buying from closed BSTs, trust me, they're dumb enough to not want them as a customer.

We work in IM, I am sure this can be resolved easily!

There are a handful of reasons that BHW does not delete old/closed threads but there may be some ideas floated in here that could have merit.
Let's wait until @Diamond Damien has some time to read this through and perhaps banter it around with the staff and see what comes of that.
Again though suggestions and ideas from the community, no matter what happens in the end, are super welcomed by every staff member as we not only look at them to improve BHW but learn from the shares.
Thanks for bringing this up, @fasttrak.

Agree. After all it is traffic game.That's not something Damien wouldn't consider, as the old bsts are indexed pretty well in Google and if these are hidden / removed from public view, he will lose revenue.
However, I second this request

Something like this is already mentioned I think.

We do have a proposed solution for this - but it's a 2.0 thing so not something we're going to do immediately.
As many of you have stated - deleting pages that deliver traffic isn't a great idea, what we can do is add to the solution we already have.
Currently, we show that the service is no longer provided by a valid BHW member and use at your own risk. The plan is to keep the content but remove the nonactive sellers off-site link using that page to deliver visits to active marketplace threads along the lines of - "Unfortunately this member is no longer active on the forum here are some services that are delivered by active members".
As mentioned above by @BassTrackerBoats - we really appreciate all the feedback and ideas - keep them coming as we develop BHW together. Unfortunately, we can't introduce every idea that is floated, but we work hard to ensure those that are considered viable by all are reviewed and implemented where appropriate.

For clarity - BHW 2.0 is the new platform that we will be building the new marketplace on. We're not releasing a new marketplace and totally new codebase at the same time . Further information can be found on 2.0 here https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/bhw-2-0-coming-in-2020.1059648/ and will be updated as we progress.
