This is an open letter to Adam:
I've just surfed around the Legal Issues section of DNF, and there seems to be an increase in bad faith transactions going down. Not only from outside our membership, but even from within our own ranks.
So, Adam, anything you can do to verify member's identity, and perhaps a ranking system for buyers/sellers, would be greatly appreciated.
I am a member of a dating siteâyes, It's true, I am a lonely heart shipwrecked in Spainâand, this site requires that all members verify, verify, verify. Otherwise, you are invited to the door, as in the outer side of same.
Yes, you'll see a drop off of members. But wouldn't it be cool for all of us who choose to remain to know that we are dealing with colleagues, who further choose to deal with each other in good faith? And charging a fee is not enough. What's a few hundred bucks to someone with ulterior motives. To a scammer, this is just a cost of doing business.
As the domain business gets taken out of the wild west mindset into a field of professionalism, wouldn't we prefer to weed out the duff and have a bit more security in knowing that we are, indeed, professionals?
Personally, I'm in this business for the long haul and I've already committed substantial resources to it. I'd like to think that there are like-minded individuals with similar objectives.
Other members, feel free to chime in.
Steve
