For Sale Dont Post Adult Names Here!

[aguss]

Dear DNF members,

Please do not post your adult names for sale here. Please use the dedicated forum in the Gold Forums area.

Every adult name posted here will be moved to the appropriate area without any notice.

Thank you,
Agus S

So if you have an adult name for sale, you do not get the same exposure?

I don't wish to be a pain, but aren't we all adults? (and I'm sure our younger members have seen/head adult words before)

I don't think by being listed they're said in offense, we're in the business of key words and names, so a great portion of them are going to be adult.

Haven't we got the professionalism to be able to look at swear words?

danield,

It's not about professionalism or exposure. I think its more about public responsibility. The "Adult" domain section is set-up to attempt to restrict access minors may have to this type of material. While you may feel that minors should have full access and "can handle it", the owner of this forum has agreed that this special consideration is in order.

You can read the opening bit here:
http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37146

Or this thread, that had this issue discussed:
http://www.dnforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36823

IMO, I think it is a good compromise compared to not having a section like this at all, while keeping the board relatively clean. Were I you, I'd hit that second thread (posted above) if you wanted to comment more on that topic.

Best,
~ Nexus

Don't get me wrong, I own 1 adult domain out of over 100. So it won't affect me as such, I just don't agree with the principle. And basically that applies to most forms of censorship of words. If they're in the dictionary in every school in the country, it's good enough to be in a forum that deals with words.

IMO, words are just words.

I'm not going to argue or lobby for the right, I just think my thoughts are important as I'm sure others do think the same way.

I do not believe in Jesus, so should I be offended by Aguss' signature? I'm not, because they're words which I choose to ignore.

These are just some thoughts I think we need to work with, so there is a clear understanding that we're all on the same pitch of what we can and cant say and do, because while we all have different morals and beliefs, none of us are intentionally tryng to offend one and other.

This section needs to be subcategory under "Domains For Sale" as it is not fair for those of us who specialize in adult domains and websites. You can easily restrict access the same as you do in the adult section.

Danield,

People who need adult names can go to the dedicated area. If you think that the current dedicated area doesnt get the same exposure just because its located in the Gold Forums, sure we can consider moving the 'Adult Domain Discussion' and its sub forums into the Platinum Forums, or maybe we can just add a new sub forum under the platinum 'Domain For Sale' just like what 207 recommends.
I need to mind you tho that separation is most likely to stay.
We will review this problem and we will keep you updated.


Thank you,
Agus S

The decision to move ALL adult names to the Adult Domains for Sale was not taken independantly by Aguss but on a concensus of the Admin & Mods and was taken in an effort to demonstrate a sense of responsibility towards minors and to limit liability of the owner.
The decision had nothing to do with Jesus or Agus' signature, though in response to your comment there are many people who do not find Jesus or an admission to loving him or having faith in him anything like as offensive as "adult" words.
Many people dislike any form of censorship, however many more do not wish to be bombarded by things normally associated with "adult" words/domains and therefore approve of this limited form of censorship. I say limited because it is limited only as to where it appears not if it appears.

Maybe it's now time for you mods and admins to put the section where it should be as a sub category under domains for sale. With each change around here it is getting worst and worst, how about taking everyone into consideration, just not one or two people.

 

[danield]

I did my best to point out that I wasn't trying arguing or create a personal attack, because I don't do those.

I never hinted to the fact that Aguss' signature was a problem for me or any decision about it. It was simply the first thing I saw that I could use as a valid point for my view. Sorry Aguss if you may have taken offense to that.

I say it again, no personal attacks, I am just looking after the bets interests of what I pay for as a professional tool, DNF, where I don't play games, joke or definately not get caught up in personal 'wars'.

And I agree with 207 that a structure needs to be put in place, so everything is fair for everyone, DNF certainly has a wide variety of people.

Let's do our best not to alienate anyone from getting a good sale, whatever their domain might be.

mods please delete, hit the wrong button.

I don't know how you can say this is something being done just to please one or two people - the reasons were stated in my post above ie :-

"The decision to move ALL adult names to the Adult Domains for Sale was not taken independantly by Aguss but on a concensus of the Admin & Mods and was taken in an effort to demonstrate a sense of responsibility towards minors and to limit liability of the owner."

Being in Gold this actually makes the section more accessible.

are you talking to me?

 

[Mr Webname]

Yes and no! :-D

You commented on exposure of adult names, I commented that I think it is actually more accessible in Gold.

My comments about the reasons for the change were addressed to 207's comments.

I am merely pointing out what I see as the facts, not being argumentative or confrontational

 

[danield]

It's ok, I was just getting a little confused Thanks for clearing that up!

concensus of the Admin & Mods

This is one or two people when we are talking about a forum of 3000 people.

 

[Mr Webname]

Concensus of the Admin & Mods is a "civilised" way of formulating policy and direction, something you approved of and engaged in when you were a Mod.
To throw a business open to a free-for-all amongst 3000 people in order to decide its direction would be folly, especially in matters with such serious implications that we are here discussing.
That having been said the sensible comments and suggestions from members are listened too and indeed a forum is dedicated entirely to their submission - "Suggestions & Feedback".

 

[Spider]

Put the category under domains for sale with the same security you have for the adult discussion section. It's not hard really I swear and makes sense. You aren't reading what I am typing.

P.S. The reason I quit as a mod was because of this type of response.
