I've been thinking about this one for a while. I have talked with numerus members in the BH Section about this and we all come to the same conclusion.



These threads should NOT be allowed in the Beginner Hacking Section. As per the following explanations;

1. We get a ton of requests to hack into some kind of an account in the BH Section. As always, we explain that something like that is not easy to do, as you would need to get the password somewhere (Either from a Leak, or the victims PC by chance), and even then, with all of the detection Social Media offers nowadays, it's still pretty hard to get into the actual account. Things like 2FA are also a big deal around here. Newbies then think "Okay, this guy is bullshitting me, I'll just go and buy the software that's stickied, I'm sure it works". What happens when the software also fails to provide the correct password to the account?

2. The only stickied threads that belong in the BH Section are tutorials on Basic Hacking and security. I've seen a ton of these in the past from knowledgable and well known members and it really hits me that NONE of them were stickied. If we want them stickied, we need to pay. But that's not how it should work, especially not in a section that encourages newbies to get into the world of hacking.

I agree, there's plenty of room for them in the marketplace.

I get your point, I do. But isn't that kind of the point of paying for stickies? You get a thread stickied that wouldn't deserve it otherwise, for a price. If new tutorials come out that cover enough content to warrant a sticky, I'm sure they'll be granted.

I don't spend much time there, do you have any examples of threads you feel are informative enough to warrant a sticky?

To be completely honest, I don't really care which informative threads are stickied except that Sales Threads do not belong in the section, period. There's enough place in the Marketplace / Premium Sellers, post it there, buy a sticky there. Feeding false information to newbies is also a dumb way to get sales.

Even though the member is closed, this never got stickied, even though it contains a lot of valuable knowledge.

I could name hundreds of threads that got lost down the drain of posts that come in every day.

Even if I agree with you, this would be considered a rule suggestion, and those aren't allowed.

I completely get where you're coming from, I just don't want you to get your hopes up.

Best of luck with the staff response!

I get your overall point but you do realize that is the only way for a good portion of sellers around the internet, not just HF, to sell their shit?

Obviously I do, but it's also a great way to lose new members real fast and considering we actually have a section dedicated for newbies in the hacking field, I see a major issue with that. It's like walking into a library and being bombarded by 25 ads on "Why read when you can download a movie, you can get ANY movie!" and it doesn't even end up getting a specific movie I want it to get.

I didn't realise suggesting something like this would be against the suggestions rules, my appologies.
