Why Was My BuySellServices Thread Denied?
Having a services thread is a privilege, not a right, staff are under no obligation to approve any thread.
If you do not receive a response from the staff after two weeks, assume that your thread has been denied. We do not discuss the reasons for denied threads, so don't PM asking, this will not get your thread approved.
Useful Advice:
Many of the moderators are available on IRC (irc.blackhatworld.com #blackhatworld), should you need to discuss your services thread or its status, it is appropriate to ask here. Be courteous though, as pestering the staff will result in your application being denied.
