My Forum Suggestions

[sscaz]

1. Mark people who don't leave review copies but are asking for them
(For example if they do this 2 times(Ask for review copy, receive it and don't leave a review copy) they would not be allowed to ask for review copies ever again)
2. Refferal program (So if we invite people to blackhatworld.com forum if they buy jr.vip, marketplace or premium membership we get some cut)
3. Android/IOS app
I think a lot of us, use the forum on their phones when they're not home just learning or chilling, an applicaiton would be great andi think it could grow the forum's reach as many could discover it on google play store, app gallery, ios app store etc..
4. Make review system to be used more, for example make it more visible, this will prevent a lot of scams from those new members who just purchase jr vip open marketplace threads to scam people, since if someone has 10+ good transaction score regardless of being jr vip or regular member they would be more trustworthy to deal with, i think the function is great but most of people don't use it, making it basically useless, i think if you put some benefits in using the function like a badge near marketplace threads that have over 5+ good score in trust system, and make it more visible for people to use it, for example add it on top of each thread and require a transaction link/id or screenshoot for it to be added, so that if someone tries to rig it it would be easily spotted if reported.

You can shitlist them in the Dispute Resolution category.

You can shitlist them in the Dispute Resolution category.

But that doesn't help the victims in getting their money back.

Exit scammers don't care about getting shitlisted or banned once they have managed to con enough money.

We are talking about review copies, and if enough BST members shitlist them, members will learn the hard way to leave a review. Or get banned if they do not do the right thing in the shitlist.

1. Mark people who don't leave review copies but are asking for them

There's an infraction system in place for this. A moderator can also speak to the member who received a review copy on behalf of the seller.

There's also the dispute resolution section of the forum.

2. Refferal program (So if we invite people to blackhatworld.com forum if they buy jr.vip, marketplace or premium membership we get some cut)

There are a lot of variables that go into play with something like this. Monitoring this system would eventually become it's own long form task.

Not that it's a bad idea per se, but a fair amount of work would need to be put in & maintained.

3. Android/IOS app

I, personally, have used the forum on many occasions from browsers on my mobile device and haven't really ever had an issue.

This goes in hand with the referral system & would be it's own task in monitoring.

4. Make review system to be used more, for example make it more visible

There is already one system in place for this currently in the marketplace. However, the marketplace is currently (and has been) being worked on, and marketplace 2.0 brings many 'quality of life' features into play.

Having specified badges per amount of reviews can be gamed. Let's face it, we're all marketers here. Although, with Marketplace 2.0, the landscape will be more efficient for both buyers & sellers.

For clarity, there won't be an affiliate program for memberships.
But there will be for MP2 where MP2 merchants can offer deals to affiliates to sell their services outside of BHW. We're aware it's a very big project as there are so many moving parts.
