[RULES] Udemy Section Rules

[饿死我了]

Please follow the rules stated below when using this section.

This applies to everyone, new and old members.

===== TAGS =====

Coupon threads should start with the appropriate tags:
[GET] For courses made free with coupons
[F4LT] For courses marked as free without coupons
[B] For bundle threads, threads with more than course (more than 1 course shared)

===== Requests =====

If you want to request a coupon, please post it in the request thread
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-Udemy-Bump-Requests
Do not ask in course share threads.

===== Discount Threads =====
We have a special section for that, and it's not here.
You may find it here:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Forum-Udemy-DISCOUNTS-OFFER

===== Threads Titles =====

Thread Titles should follow one of these formats:
[GET] Exact Title From Course Page
[GET] Exact Title From Course Page (Language if not English)
[F4LT] Exact Title From Course Page
[F4LT] Exact Title From Course Page (Language if not English)
[B] Whatever is appropriate for the specific bundle

===== F4LT =====

We don't bump F4LT threads unless it has gone paid and then become free again. Some of us sharers have crafted our own special tools to track these changes, so we know when to and not to do it.

===== New Threads =====

Do not open a new thread if a [GET] or [F4LT] thread exist for it. You may open a new thread for a previously share course only if it was shared only in a [B] thread.

Before opening a new thread, search to see if a thread already exists for that course.
If a threads exists, post the coupon or availability notice there.

DON'T create a new thread, even if the code is different or the original post was a different F4LT/GET tag. Only 1 thread per course.

It's best to search for the unique url course code, as in "/unique-course-code" in "https://www.udemy.com/course/unique-course-code"

===== Spoiler Tags =====

Please don't use spoiler tags around a single course link.
You may use them for bundled links if you like, or other things.

===== Replying to Threads =====

We like to keep threads in a neat order and make it simple for people to see whether a thread has a new coupon or not. No one likes opening 20 threads to find out that 15 of them are just people begging for coupons and there's no new coupons available or even "thanks".

(1) No bumping threads by replying with thanks messages. If you really want to thank a contributor, there's a rep for button for that and this doesn't bump threads.
(2) Requests for new coupons must be posted to the request thread only.
(3) Only one post to say all listed coupons for the course have expired.
• No asking for a new coupon in the same post.
• If someone else has posted "coupon expired", you don't, one total!
(4) No posting that a coupon has expired in a bundle thread unless every coupon has expired.

===== Ripping Courses =====

There will be NO ripping of courses in this section… we want instructors to share as many coupons as possible… ripping their courses after you get access will only deter them from sharing coupons in the future.

===== Affiliate Links =====

You are NOT allowed to share an affiliate link!

If you don't know what that means, any address starting with https://www.udemy.com/ is not an affiliate link and is fine to post.

===== Other Notes =====

• If you leave reviews for courses you get, instructors are more likely to share in the future, and it's a nice thing to do.
• Sharers here don't make coupons, we just share what we find. This means begging us for more is unlikely to help. The course creator is the only person who can make coupons so you'd be better off messaging them on Udemy and asking them to share a new one.
• Ultimately commonsense wins out and these rules will probably change with time as they have before. If you want to review the old, outdated thread from 2014: http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-Udemy-Section-RULES-READ-THIS-FIRST
• This thread may change name and hence URL, this following link is permanent.

Great contribution, very well explained rules, many thanks 饿死我了 bro!

For a long time ago we need to summarize the rules in a new presentation of our already accepted BBHF Udemy Section Rules; as a useful guide for all members, not just for new members!


-------------------- PLUS a suggestion of a very important link to add:

General Discussion / Announcements And Updates / BBHF Cleaning as of 08/21/2019 by Omni Potens:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-BBHF-Cleaning-as-of-08-21-2019


-------------------- About Requests:

Since 2013 the only place to correct ask for new coupons or requests is not here but in another section, here is the link:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Forum-Udemy-Request-Section

Nevertheless, as a solution in 2019 and because we want all requests to be valued in one place! We are promoting to bump requests only in a new thread created for that purpose (bookmark it):
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-Udemy-Bump-Requests


------------------- About Rules:

Yes, that rule about do not ask for new coupons bumping threads exist since 2014:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-Udemy-Section-RULES-READ-THIS-FIRST

And also here in 2017:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-REPORT-SPAMMERS-HERE-THE-ULTIMATE-THREAD?pid=2289247#pid2289247

And again in the new presentation of our rules here in 2019:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Thread-RULES-Udemy-Section-Rules?pid=2893575#pid2893575

And if you want to know more about the rules of conduct that apply to all the sections of BBHF (as do not complain or discuss), read that since 2015 here:
http://bestblackhatforum.com/Announcement-General-Rules-for-BBHF-Last-UPDATED-on-August-27-2015

And by definition the Rules in this Sections are being made by our leaders and sharers; then for example if a great sharer as SteB81 wanted to explain or suggest a new rule, he was and is in all his right, because he has contributed in this section more than everyone, and deserves all our respect and gratitude!

But SteB81 was talking about very known rules, he was not inventing anything; but again, if he wanted to suggest a rule, he has all right to do it.

Rules?? Are you a mod??

[/quote]


Thanks for watching and good question, quijibo bro! All contributions here are valued and evaluated! :)

Yes, it is important to clarify what is an accepted rule and what is a proposed rule (rule that could be accepted unless someone objects with good arguments)!

But, this thread by 饿死我了 is a great summary of already accepted rules (for years), with a few proposed but necessary rules, and some great notes and guides!

Yes, he is not a moderator; nevertheless we do not need to be a moderator to suggest something important in our community! As a very clear examples: The author of the first list of rules: CitizenKane bro, was not a moderator but only a great contributor when he wrote the original accepted rules of 2014. Also Edin bro, author of the first very useful guide to search in Udemy section, was not a moderator. Also fouadfo2sh bro, the author of the great thread to report Spammers, was not a moderator. And so on; as far as I know!

In the same way, a sharer like 饿死我了 who has greatly contributed to our community for years, has all his right and reasons to contribute with a summary of rules in a new presentation that can be edited; and also suggesting a couple necessary rules! We as sharers know and live the rules better than any other member, because of the hard work we do.

Helping to summarize and clarify our rules is an important contribution, which should be applauded, not avoided, not criticized, please bros and sis!

Finally all rules and guides or initiatives should be approved or not by a moderator! And if the moderators accepts this thread as important, that means in has being accepted!

Peace and success, to you and all my bros and sis!

We're all mods in a way.

This site is a community, we all contribute. We can't expect the actual mods to know everything that is going on everywhere all the time.

There's been a few of us who have been shaping and guiding the Udemy section since the beginning. Over time people come, people go, things change and it's up to us to make sure things keep running smoothly.

When a change needs to be made, like the rules being outdated by years, we put up new ones and apply to the mods to sticky them, as was done by CitizenKane before. Sadly CitizenKane has been away for almost a year so we can't update the old thread.

Anyone can contribute and become part of the unofficial team just by involving themselves. I put up some new rules based on the current situation. angelcrc7 points out some of my flaws, like the clean [B] tag being too short for search, I change that.

In the future may I'll be away for a bit and someone else will go about replacing my outdated content. It's the way it's always been. We work together to improve the section and make it the best it can be.

I've applied to the mods to have this thread sticked, and if they support it, it likely will be.

If there's something in the rules you don't like, you're very much welcome to comment, make suggestions and as a group we'll all consider them. They're not set in stone, have continually changed and will most certainly change in the future.

Just like I'm about to try and figure out what [B] should be.

[angelcrc7]

-------------------- CONGRATULATIONS:

This new thread to explain our Udemy Rules deserves a place in the important threads! And you 饿死我了 have the experience and commitment to explain and summarize the rules of our community, because you are here since 2013, and you have being here sharing many many courses for years, and helping our community with great contributions!

Count with my support with everything that you shared in this thread! Also with your great idea of the Bundle [B] tag! ;)

The actual spammer is you 'Edjumacated_Bum'
I have seen and analyze that you can't appreciate new initiation and better changes in BBHF.
I have seen many great Contribution By Bro Angelcrc7 and Bro Hungry unlike you.
Look at them, they have more reputation and Support of Community members.
and I Strongly believe that NO one here like you and your Opinion at all.
So, what's the point of your speaking here!

Take from us, and cry to get better stuff for free BUT never Contribute anything! Selfish Fellow!
The actual crybaby and Childish is you. Ask anyone about your behavior! No1 likes you, your opinion and suggestions here. "Truly-Speaking" I have heard from many.
I'll also recommend reporting this Useless fellow who keeps pointing very selfless and generous sharer/ Great Contributor of BBHF as a spammer.

Many people will be discouraged by you, your attitude and behavior.
Once again, 'Edjumacated_Bum'

Magic Button :

Open your Mind Before your Mouth!

Finally, Many thanks to our Great Contributor Bro Angelcrc7 and Bro Hungry for Coming up with new ideas, suggestion and lots of other valuable stuff.
You guys are blessing to BBHF.
