Help Wanted!!!

[Biggie]

Help us, help you!

help us by Please posting your threads in the proper forum section or sub-forum area.

for newbies, finding their way around is rough, and when they do find a section, seems they post every question they can think of, in that one section.

we have many representatives here from the same services that are used by members on a daily basis. most of those services have their "own" sections here on the forum, so they can respond to your needs.

please use these areas to post your questions for the respective reps to respond. this will help keep the forum organized and make searching for referencing easier.

for members who've been here long enough to post a sales thread....PLEASE post your thread in the proper sub-forum.

for instance, today i moved or closed at least 15 threads from "Domains for Sale/ Fixed Price Above $100" section because:


1. most of the threads had prices lower than $100
2. many of the threads started out with prices under $100!

Please remember, that section is "Fixed Price" not the "Put a price and drop it every other day section"!

so, if you posted in this section and you find your thread closed or moved, then you'll know why.


Please make the effort to properly utilize the areas of the forum, that have been enabled for your benefit.


Thanks

The issue is the plea for help to post in the right forum or sub forum when the threads are moved. Was one of my blog posts (or two or three) taken out of the advertising section and moved? Moved to controversial/political.

There is only a blanket computer generated post to announce the moving yet nothing more to go on.

(Second paragraph)
Good point. Maybe we can discuss it with the admins to see if we can get a similar add-on for moving threads like with closed threads - you'll notice at the top of closed threads there is a "reason thread was closed" line - maybe the admins could incorporate this into moved threads as well?

Members - how do you feel about this?

Mods - how do you feel about this and using it?(we can even take it up privately, if you'd like)

Admins - how time consuming would it be to implement this and would it be worth it / productive for the community?

(First paragraph)
I'm not sure what threads you're referring to but I can think of three instances where links to blogs can be moved out of the advertising area:
1) It's adult related (adult domain related, etc..) and then it should go into the adult advertising area.

2) It is, or the discussion gets, political. I'm sure many would agree that an article on "the bailouts and how it affects the domain industry" would get political very quickly - but a post with a link to someone's own blog being moved here should be done at the mods' and admins' discretion.

3) It's spam and unrelated to the forums which then it will get deleted (luckily it's only spam bots doing this in gold level discussion areas now).

Here lies the problem: Don is more conservative - hence my use of "old school" - and wants things ultra organized & moves threads to the appropriate forums or closes posts unrelated to a forum. Fair enough.

Other moderators might be less prone to "stack up" these posts perfectly and perhaps leave things as they are or move posts *back* to where they were originally posted.

Hence the confusion that Doc Com experienced as there is no indication why a post was moved from A to B to C to A point.

About the font stylization, am I allowed to use Verdana only?

Just a joke, Don. Enjoy the rest of your day.

yes, i like organization, because it's key to research and referencing.



one needs to organize their tasks and daily lives, which helps them to be more productive.....you'll know where things are when you need them.

i don't know if that's really being conservative or just being practical by trying to make it easier for others find info in one place for a topic or service.



but thanks Theo, i will try to enjoy the rest of the day

Then I get an infraction.

All this peripheral discussion is giving me an infarction.

I just want to buy and sell domains.
