Is blackhatworld.com Safe?

As far as my category, I am very annoyed that they are using uncommon ads for my ad blocker will probably never auto block them. on the other hand this site is just like any site which allows ones users to speak, it contains malware yet also useful applications, good free resources and those which were illegally shared . It may be discriminatory and perhaps equally just. Keep your guard up, but do not go around looking for something wrong. also, though the information i am providing may be broad and obvious, tracking cookies are not viruses, or rather, they should not be counted as such. i would be surprised if I did not receive them.(not that they are good, remove them., my point is they are not something to threatening. it is a low risk, but a risk never the less. you will get some from facebook as well if i am correct.) just an FYI since many of us are not 'computer people' . Also, ih8spam, much of the content of the site may be questionable and probably illegally posted, but most is by the users themselves as well. This forum may not have been intended to be one but became such by the users themselves. Should a wave of good doers come and take over it would be a site for the good doers, while hopefully respecting the former rules on posting, though most have been broken in every way by most all users whom post. (those who don't are often the ones whom criticize the ones whom do)

Site obviously advocates black hat internet practices. While researching another domain, I found a forum entry on blackhatworld.com where a member complained that he was caught spamming from the legitimate domain I was researching (who ordered him to desist). Other forum members sympathized with, and offered support to, the complainant. Lenguage on this site is not child-safe.

someone has thumbed up the site on the basis of "discusses ways of obtaining good search engine optimization results and other general online marketing" However the techniques being discussed are mostly Black Hat techniques which IMO should never be utilised to promote your website. A fair portion of the posts seem to be discussing how they are being scammed or are the ones doing the scamming, which I felt was divine justice (what goes around comes around) There is a small section for White Hat techniques but the emphasis is on using Black Hat techniques. The site seems clean and is packed with information on Black Hat techniques. I will say the site is useful for the honest webmasters who would like to learn more about negative techniques so they can avoid adopting any techniques considered Black Hat. Lastly for those that may consider using these techniques, don't, if you get caught your site can be banned. Take the time to improve your site and product and build your site on clean ethical techniques which will help build your customer loyalty in the long run.
