Seems like an important question to answer here - would you agree ??
To start with, here are a few observations I have made regarding many of the members here after several years of being a member here myself:
1 - Most folks find their ways here because they are looking for ways to get started with MMO - very few are actually already making money online;
2 - Most of those folks pointed out in #1 are normal, decent folks who generally intend no real harm towards anyone else;
3 - Many of those folks have already been sadly disappointed by wasting funds on shiny objects that were sold based upon severe exaggerations and/or outright lies.
Now, here are some things that DO NOT apply to most members here:
1 - These folks are NOT cybercriminals who get their kicks out of harming others;
2 - They are NOT generally inclined towards any forms of outright thefts;
3 - They have learned (to some degree) NOT to believe the overblown sales pitches of all the shiny objects.
In truth, the blackest of black hatters are NOT like the above folks AT ALL.
The really, deeply BH actors are 100% fine with outright robbery, absolute deception and cheating others in any form - which actually makes them fit the descriptions of sociopathic and/or psychopathic.
So what are most of us who are members here - really ??
To start with - mostly harmless, and beyond that=>
We can easily and truthfully be labeled as 'w*r*z traders' - which in other words means that we grab whatever things we can that are made of bits and bytes and shuffle them around amongst the membership.
Now before anyone gets their knickers in a twist over that - let me tell you that I've been doing this w*r*z stuff for decades already and that I hold no harm against anyone who does it too, and this is because:
- It is NOT possible to 'steal' software;
- The concepts of 'piracy' are purely based upon BS;
- The very worst 'pirates' are actually corporate.
All the above having been said - it is also true that there ARE some bad actors here, but they are fewer in numbers, and I define them thusly:
- Folks who take funds from others without delivering what is promised;
- Folks who knowingly deceive others for their own profits at the expenses of others;
- Folks who in any manner promote sites, products or software that is sold to bring earnings, while actually hijacking the paying user's data;
- Folks wo offer 'lifetime' deals that only continue until the incoming flow of funds slows down.
There are other variations of course - as many as can be imagined based upon all the ages-old con games, with new variations coming around daily.
Summing up now:
For myself - in my very personal opinion - this place is correctly labeled 'BEST' whilst only being slightly 'black hat', and the activities here are more aimed at mutual support than they are at cheating anyone.
Lastly:
There are those who are likely to chime in here with objections, citing morality or philosophy and to such folks my blanket reply is simply this:
Whatever.
Information generally wants to be free;
It can be (and most often IS...) sold, and=>
If anyone DOES actually get high earnings from the goodies shared freely here, then it is up to them and their own consciences whether to then back-track and actually throw some $$$ back at the tools which have most helped them.
Aside of that I only say this:
Keep on Keepin' on Folks;
Be Good and Helpful to One Another !!!
