My previously banned haters may say that I just spam BHW with suggestions and I don't buy or sell anything, just farming engagement with suggestions, but in fact this one is about me too.
Upvote.biz vanished a few weeks ago, I used this service a lot to buy upvotes for Reddit and I didn't have any issues with them until they disappeared.
BST: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/u...-per-upvote-automatic-bulk-discounts.1559343/
I still have a small balance on that website, but we're not protected by BHW rules and dispute system anymore, because the seller deleted his account and their BST was consequently closed.
Since then, there are multiple reports of closed accounts, bad support , slow delivery. In summary: if you complain about anything, they will just say f*** off and terminate your account, grabbing your funds. If you keep using that service, they will delivery it, but very slowly.
For reference, there are several problems reported here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/upvote-biz-is-scam.1772618/#post-20178095
In my personal case I just forgot this website and started using another one protected by BHW rules, my current balance on Upvote.biz will be probably stolen after this post and my account will be terminated there, as it is happening with several other members, but it's just $1.94, so whatever.
But it's concerning that probably tens of BHW users are still using that website and not even aware that they are not protected by BHW anymore, because BHW can't do anything about a deleted member + closed BST. We can't open a dispute against a ghost, it seems just an exit scam at this point.
My quick suggestions:
1) Add a warning like this one below. Of course, this is just an example and mods could think about a better text, but a caution warning would be useful to discourage users to not deal with this business anymore.
2) Remove the current text and media, I guess mods can do that right now without approving or rejecting this suggestion, I hope they can do that
Why is it relevant?
If you search for ''upvote.biz'' on Google, BHW results are still the first ones, most of its users are probably from BHW, so if this service is not active anymore, but his users are members of this forum, it's fair to put some warning messages to avoid more victims, remove media, etc.
Also, if you search for recommendations of services to buy upvotes from on this forum, some members were suggesting this service a few months ago, clueless members could take those old posts into consideration and it could bring more new users (and victims) for this dead service, since their website is still active and still accepting deposits.
