Ah, this sweet relief. Looks like with these kind of absurd rules (censorship, practically), there's no way, from a new #blackhatworld forum account, to highlight any potential scammer there. Their community is trapped, and it's good to know that now.
Don't waste time creating accounts on centralized platforms—it's a resource-consuming trap. It gives nothing in return in this particular case. If you have a reasonable concern about a market item posted on their forum or anywhere else, better use something like https://github.com/briskness-byte/NostrComments
Yes, it kinda sucks that it's basically complaining into the decentralized void, rather than having a dialogue with the potential scammer directly (who knows, maybe they could still demonstrate that they provide a legitimate service?—I still don't know that), but at least your message would be possible to find by whoever is doing the research 🕵️♂️
Another day of observing how exactly centralized platforms keep being repressive for stupid reasons.
I gave a flavor to #blackhatworld dot com, created a profile there. Just to post some uncomfortable questions in a thread opened by a potential scammer.
After attempting to post, I saw some "go to the newbie page and write about yourself first" kinda thing. I wrote. After a while they approved the account, and finally...
They removed my posts and gave me a warning for violating their rules: that quoting a URL written by the potential scammer (the thread opener) is not allowed 🤦♂️ Wonderful. Next, of course, CAPTCHA in their support ticket system.
Legacy centralized platforms are terminally sick. Sometimes together with their admins. God save Nostr. From hard dependency on centralized systems like Google in particular.
