This is a question we get asked a lot here on Black Hat World, especially from members who think that because they found some perceived loophole in the rules, that they have the sole right to continue that exploit. You see, some members join under the erroneous notion that this is a free-for-all black market where anything and everything goes.

I'm sorry to be the one to burst that bubble, but it's not like this here at all. On the contrary, we have a lot of rules here because our members are used to gaming the system everywhere else on the internet. But this explanation isn't enough for many, so I'll elaborate on it more here.

The rules here on Black Hat World are meant to be specific enough to prevent members from violating commonly known rules and laws, yet vague enough to catch the odd member or two who tries to pull a stunt here.

You might not like these rules because they get in the way of you making money on or off of Black Hat World in the way you want to, but they're not here for you to like, they're here to maintain some level of order.

As much as we try to improve them, the rules of this forum are not meant to be perfect nor are they airtight by any means.

If, after all of this, you still don't get it, then consider this old proverb: it is a foolish bird that soils its own nest.

Especially those who continue to do so time and time again.
 
I agree, rules are really important, and it keeps everything in place and peace.
 
To keep the forum clean, is a problem with all the forums where people can just post anything!
 
This is one of the best run forums I've been on, seriously. It's those rules that create an invaluable service as far as gaining knowledge and finding legitimate services in the sea of scams and trolls.

Keep it up!
 
I guess people are more comfortable where there are strict rules.
 
Yep, i thought it was more like reddit. Turns out my post was banned after 13 Minutes *laughing face*

Lol. Reddit seriously? In reddit, even positive posts get doxed for no reason. It’s full of psychopaths. In bhw, the rule is simple, do not be cheeky, and do not f other people. You will do just fine.

That's true, and some threads have complex rules to em aswell. But thanks for the advise haha. BTW this is my first quote!
 
Managing a forum with over a million users is insane. thanks for cleaning house and holding everyone to the rules.

It's not insane when you have the awesomest of teams to work with.

You are welcome!
