Is It Allowed to Sell or Ask to Buy a BHW Account?

Modified on Thu, 3 Apr at 3:38 PM

Great question! 


No. Buying or selling a BHW account is strictly prohibited and goes against BlackHatWorld’s Terms and Rules


Any attempt to do so will result in account termination and may lead to a permanent ban of all associated accounts.

Why is This Rule in Place?


The integrity of BHW relies on trust and the authenticity of member accounts. When accounts are sold or transferred:


  • It misrepresents the reputation, feedback, and post history of the original user
  • It puts other members at risk, especially in Marketplace transactions
  • It can lead to abuse of privileges, fraud, and manipulation of the trust system
  • It undermines our Membership Levels system, which is built on active and genuine participation


What Will Happen if You Try to Buy or Sell an Account?


Violations can result in:

  • Immediate account ban without notice.
  • Removal of Marketplace threads, signature links, or other privileges.
  • Forfeiture of memberships or paid services without refund.


If someone contacts you offering to buy or sell an account, please report it or submit a Support Ticket.


Tips for Staying Safe and Compliant


  • Always grow your account organically by contributing value
  • Build your reputation through helpful, relevant posts and ethical behaviour
  • Upgrade your account through official membership upgrades only
  • Read our Newbie Guide to avoid beginner mistakes


What If Someone Offers to Buy Your Account?


Even if you're not actively trying to sell your account, accepting or entertaining these offers is still a violation of our rules. 


  • Politely decline and report the user so we can investigate further
  • Your BHW account is personal and tied to your individual activity, trustworthiness, and reputation
  • It is non-transferable
