Sometimes, it is very easy to drive attention to your thread.
One recent example would be:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/paypal-scamming-they-took-away-211k-usd-from-my-account.1211440/
What is exactly the issue with this thread, and why new rule would be a good choice?
This thread become viral due it's title and a screenshot on it.
I have nothing against this thread, account, viral status (I even jumped in to help) but,
It is not OK if the OP is using BHW members just to get traffic/bumps to his promotions, while everyone are trying to help him.
So, as the video is the only way to prove your issue, it would be great to give the ability to every BHW user to call for a video proof rule.
Going back to the example: (imagine we have a new video proof rule, but nobody even know about it)
You go in with the next reply:
Hey OP, I would like to call for a video proof rule (you can check rules) because your thread looks like an advert.
If OP ignores your message, just use report button and request rule from there.
Next: Mod read alert and forward it back in the thread, so now OP is seeing mod request calling for a video proof.
If OP seek for the rule, he should find something like: You have to record a video in order to confirm authentic of your issue. You can cover/blur the background.
If OP had an idea to advertise himself, everything will fall apart and everyone will know.
Additionally, warning can be issued, or even temp ban.
If OP is really talking about his issue, or whatever is going on, nothing bad happens, he will even be served better, with more attention and perhaps better assistance.
