Rework requirements for posting Hacks

Hey,
i'm suggesting that posted Hacks should have high quality pictures. Most of the posters extra badly crop there pictures so you cant see the UI of the hack and so on, same should go for video proofs added in the threads.
Threads with unreadable picture should be closed down.

It should also be forbidden to create a new Topic for a different Version of the same hack, there is no reason to create a new Thread for a Hack that is missing the aimbot for example.
This can easily fixed by having an actual structure to your Thread.
The Trade/Hack forums are already bloated enough, no need to bloat that even more.

Sell threads for Hacks should not be allowed for newly created/low tbm/low postcount Accounts.
This should (hopefully) filter out more spam and scam.
Maybe create a new trusted rank that actual Hack creators can get by posting proof/apply for in an Audit?

Telegram should also be added to black market rule 5.2.

(imo autostores should be fully forbidden. There is no current way to proof that the TBM system was used anyway if autostores like Sellix are used)

I agree with this part. Badly cropped images shouldn't satisfy our screenshot requirements. Feel free to report such threads.

It's difficult to determine, whether a new product is just an iteration of another product or an entirely new product. Some products may appear similar, but consist of different features under the surface etc. If a product is identical with only one additional feature, then I'm with you, it should be offered within a single thread with multiple options to choose from. I don't know, if we have ever discussed this internally, but such cases could already be classified as multi threads - as long as they are reported.

We already filter some posts / threads of new users to check them for rule conformity. Some reasoning about the legitimacy of an offer should also take place at the user level. Blocking all new users from trading with hacks is too much of a limit for a forum. If a forum were to block me, because I don't have enough Karma (like on reddit), than I'd think myself "fuck them" and search for alternative options. Giving out "Trusted" ranks would be too much market interference from our side. Instead of that, we already have quite useful statistics in that regard: post count, account age, tbm ratings. If they are not enough, you can investigate a user by yourself by going through his posts / threads.

Even if not explicitly mentioned, Telegram channels / groups are already covered by TBM rule 5.2. t.me links to specific usernames are not part of this rule (similar to Discord usernames).
