Should BST access be restricted?

The search engine guys(whose names I shall not mention!) are infiltrating BST's and taking down the networks...

They can afford to buy any service from here, they've got unlimited cash and it's relatively simple for them to join, post 100 times and contribute as jr vip to make their accounts look legit.....

Reason I say this is they had a laser precision hit on a client of mine earlier this year which really got me intrigued....the only they could've done it is by having knowledge of a particular BST's internals.....

I'd say BST owners should be very careful with who they're dealing, check their post history before selling and do not open the BST to all buyers, check each buyer before confirming....unfortunately it's the only way you can be safer.... This is all pretty obvious and most senior members know this, but I thought I'd give a heads up to newer BST owners....unfortunately I have reason to believe they're being ratted on systematically.

Umm OP Well this thread is sure to explode for the best or worst...

Phew it's all ready getting hot around here...

Private networks bst sellers need to stay safe and give no reports

The problem is, even if they don't provide reports, the search engines have access to broad crawl data, much more complete than ahrefs or anything out there, so if they manage to buy the BST service, they're gonna find out what the network is quite easily....

they should form a venn diagram and find the comman buyers .

I believe this thread will develop into revealing some really helpful information...

Come on folks I want to learn more...

Thanks...

I saw a conversation posted on Seoroundtable last nigt between a worried webmaster and Matt Cutts.
The webmaster was worried that someone was scraping his content and stealing his business.

Cutts replied: I can see that his tactic has failed and he has not even recieved a single digit of users.

This proves that they got access to all information, in real time with a push of a button.

Not providibg reports aint gonna help jack sheat
