It's a joke about how you worded your post. You seem to be jumping to insults and patronisation rather quickly.
Anyway, you're allowed to have your definition of black hat, and I'm allowed to have mine. I don't think reselling is a requirement, but maybe that's just me.
I may be excused if I can't phrase my statements properly because English is not my native language and - despite of having studied it for 12 years in school - I am still unable to put my thoughts into words properly from time to time.
Anyway, I'm not going to prolong this discussion cause I've made my point clear.
But just know that just like how I stopped using google when it got rid of mortals like myself, just like how I stopped using facebook when they went aggressive on the data mining, and jut like how I have stopped using amazon when they have shat on small affiliates like me, I will likewise stop using BHW, too cause it's turned into an exclusive place for the filthy rich and there's no place for people like me in here anymore cause you (well, the admin, not you) are making all efforts to get rid of us.
So, I will stop using all of these big companies and support the smaller ones instead... until those grow big enough to take a shit on the ones who have made them big, too, or until they get acquired by the filthy rich americans.... and then I will go support another small entity until that one switches sides, too.... and so on until eternity.... or until someone powerful enough senses this plague that's called wealth dominating the world and actually does something about it
Peace!
As others have said here, I'm all for changes like this since it'll benefit the buyer
which buyer are you talking about exactly? Cause I am a buyer and it doesn't benefit me if instead of paying $10 for a product / service I am obligated to pay $20 by going directly to the creator of the product. It doesn't benefit any buyers, it benefits those who have money by making them even more money at the expense of the masses (or buyers, if you prefer)
This is not darkweb where u can do whatever u please.
do whatever I please... do you actually believe that I can do whatever I please in this world? And how is buying products / services cheaper on a BLACK HAT forum even considered doing what I please? It's merely a way of surviving in a world dominated by the rich
BHW operates under a company registered in UK
just because it's registered there doesn't mean that it's not under American ownership.... or will be soon
It is not catering to rich. It is about protecting this site we all love
protect the rich from who exactly? I mean, the resellers were a pathetic bunch trying to make a living off one of the few options they still had (BHW). By cutting them off from the money pie only the rich will have access to it and it will be a rich-to-rich exclusive business.
I do not mind losing the ability to buy "fake documents" as long as I have access to knowledge shared here everyday.
what if next year you will also lose the "access to knowledge here everyday", as well? Who's to say that the filthy rich will have a conscience crisis and decide to give half of their wealth away to the poor and miserable people on this planet instead of cutting your access to knowledge on BHW instead? Clearly you have no idea how mentally ill the rich are and how after reaching a certain limit of wealth turns you into a non-human, constantly wanting more, constantly shitting more on everyone and everything just to satisfy your craving of even more wealth.
Yet you said, "Who am I to tell you what products/services to buy?".
I said many things, but I wasn't addressing the phrase you quoted when I replied with "no, you haven't". Way to put words in my mouth....
You desire to have the masses make the rules may work in some societies but this is a privately owned enterprise and while the ownership is open to suggestions ultimately the decision is up to the owner
that\s where the problem is, and what I'm bragging about: even if it's privately owned it should be US who make the rules for the OWNER, not him;/her because he/she is already filthy rich while we are poor as fuck, so we need to live better, not him/her
