I was just kidding guys.
Seriously: Anytime you set minimum post requirements, you will have "Do you have a WF account to sell?" threads on other forums.
Zingo has done a good job cleaning a lot of stuff up.
Personally, I sort BST by Replies/Views, filter by date (look up Rage9's post for doing something similar) , make sure the provider is still active, and then contact them. One by one.

I say let him continue making ridiculous statements. He's his own worst enemy on these topics.lol ain't gonna debate the "free market principles at work" thing with you. I know a rabbit hole when I see one. Let's agree to disagree.

I can't remember the details of why it didn't work out, but support for it was pretty divided.

I used to buy services on BST and then just stopped.
It wasn't the money I wasted, it was the time.
I remember going to three different vendors who were offering to
a)install wordpress
b)write a few low-grade articles
c)whip up some cheap artwork
After MONTHS of sending them email asking hey "when you're gonna finish the job?" and listening to excuses I came up with this theory:
1. Somebody based in NA advertises a service for $20 on BST.
2. They farm out to somebody in India for $10.
3. The Indian farms it out to somebody in Bangladesh for $5.
4. The guy in Bangladesh farms it out to somebody in Cambodia for $2.
If the chain breaks anywhere, it's excuses up and down the line until the sucker who paid $20 figures out it isn't worth his time to deal with the crap and goes away.

What happened to the SBT is what happened to all of WF. The people who post the most are generally not on their way to success, and there is an endless tide of fools and retards flooding in from other places.
The people who set the tone and made this place great 3 or 4 years ago have mostly moved on, many of them to a lot more success. A few of us old timers still keep ties here, but lots of the quality discussions that used to be on WF have moved to Skype and other mediums.
A reduction in exclusivity is almost always a reduction in value.

Why don't mods just implement some kind of privilege system. Each forum account is either enabled or disabled to be allowed to start new threads in BST.
Each account is automatically disabled upon creation, and automatically enabled upon reaching 100 posts. If a mod sees some retarded guy posting wafo/dp bullshit in BST, then they simply disable that user from starting new threads in BST and close any open threads.
Problem solved?
Also, mods should be more aggressive with banning in general. Ban first, ask questions later. In fact, mods should have a ban quota based on the number of new registrations in the last 30 days. This doesn't need to be a democracy, rule this place like a dictatorship and keep all the riffraff out.

Make WF a paid forum (but not really). Make it $100 a month to join, but give all established members a free coupon code. Make it apparent that if you want to sell in BST, your product must first be approved, and then you will be given a free membership to sell.
Yeah, sounds like a shitload of work to me, and makemoniesonline would lose 50% of its traffic. Fuck, horrible idea.

Serious suggestion- The Fatwallet.com forums have a +/- rating for each thread and reply. You can sort through the shit and look for posts with a lot of green(+) I love that feature and its the only forum ive seen that has it.
I have seen many threads like this one and many great ideas arise but usually they are never implemented. Also I already saw people on BHW trying to buy established WF accounts.
Said the man with nearly 5k posts
J/kYes, the market place has gone to shit. Redvirus and 2 other members actually offer something worthwhile. Everything else in there blows ass.
Fixed that.
Spell out your fucking curse words. Next time I'll neg rep your ass into oblivion and nominate you for a ban. That pussy bullshit really pisses me off -- What The Fuck, this ain't WaFo.
So you're comparing BST to warriorforum, and and saying BST needs more moderation and higher standards, but warriorforum is heavily moderated and vendors have to pay to post? Obvious troll is obvious!
Best solution so far. Would admins be brave enough to implement something like that?
Sad to see how this forum has devolved. I hop in once in a blue moon to sort of get the mood of the industry, see what people are talking about, etc... but even that is a waste of time. I knew it was turning to garbage a few years ago when the biggest charlatans were /are ..
ah, who cares, keep on believing all these jokers.
