I think someone just got their mod privileges... my thread was closed because I listed the name as communies,com ( http://www.dnforum.com/f283/typo-domain-communies-com-thread-369390.html ) and the reason the thread was closed - "No comma allowed in title"

Give me a break, how many years have we been listing names like that and well I just checked out the rules of the forum and the subforum and of course nowhere is this written. Yes we must put the actual name in the title and in that same forum rules it says an option to avoid spiders is to write the name as domain(.)com or domain(dot)com... apparently domain,com is an unwritten offense however the same thing is accomplished by using only 1 character.

Furthermore, I see another member who has been on DNF for quite some time and is a highly successful domainer has posted a name for sale in the format of domain,org in the title. Interestingly enough because I respect this domainer and he helped me when I was a noob, I saw he had posted his name in this format and assumed it was acceptable and then posted my domain for sale very shortly after.

I am not looking for any closures of threads with a similar title format as mine. I also typically do not post my opinions, however this provoked me to speak up - us little guys in the business are doing what we can, mods maybe you can help us out to achieve success like you instead of curbing our opportunities.

Two things...

First -

it is kind of neat that you posted it (any auction, not necessarily a TM) once it topped you budget. I have done this before on my blog as Domain Spotting - it is either too much that I want to pay or I have no personal interest in it but it deserves calling attention to it for the benefit of others.

Second-

oh no, here we go

I think someone just got their mod privileges... my thread was closed because I listed the name as communies,com ( http://www.dnforum.com/f283/typo-domain-communies-com-thread-369390.html ) and the reason the thread was closed - "No comma allowed in title"

We just went through this yesterday.

However, I am afraid to post a link to my thread as it will involve drawing other people in, a mod posted on the thread, but I have been warned "only once" not to post his words in another thread.

I am sure this thread and my thread are related but I had assumed that on two other threads for which I was warned.

Hopefully you will get your explanation - I have had too many closed for "wrong title format".

I think the FORMAT LAWS need to be amended because, yes - we are seeing numerous ways of blocking spiders and I have NOT to have a difficult time interpreting the title.

I was just thinking, that would be one hell of a way to cut down on competition, eh? I mean, someone could potentially shut threads down leaving only a few up and running.

The worst part? Unless I had gone back to edit or illegally bump the thread, I would have never known two were closed. Never.

There was NO notice sent. But I am sure that is also in the rules somewhere.

I' ll pile on

Ok, whats going on mods ????

I received no notification either and I have never received notifications for any actions I have taken. I just went to add a quick edit and saw it was closed along with a couple others of mine - oddly enough my .ca listings in the same format were not closed...

Reason thread was closed:
invalid name format

HipHopTime, SubRoute, SeaQuad coms - Slowing, fuelled nets & more
Reason thread was closed:
invalid name format in title

In a way, I can see why on the second - kind off. But I thought grouping and separating would be suitable; com's and net's.

But, in y'all cases y'all are just a bunch of losers.

Gentlement,

The rules are here:
http://www.dnforum.com/rules.php

And you can list the name in two formats if you don't want to list the actual names:
10. ALL DOMAIN SALES MUST list the actual domain name IN THE POST, and at least one of the domain names being sold in the title of the post, you must post the ACTUAL DOMAIN NAME. No spacing of letters or domains is permitted in titles and/or posts for all Platinum Sales sections as well as the Domain Appraisal section. There's a solution for those avoiding spiders, you may use example(.)com or example(dot)com. In addition, most forums have a sticky thread or an announcement thread (or perhaps both) with more rules specific to that subforum. Please check for specific sticky threads and specific announcements that pertain to the subforum before posting in the forums. This rule is echoed in many sticky threads across our forum. Checking for a sticky before posting is netiquette you should be aware of, in any forum.

We do not have staff who can monitor every single post/thread so we can only take action when we see it or the post/thread is reported by member. Feel free to report any thread/post that violated the rules and we will take action accordingly.

Wmloz,
Your thread was closed because the name is a TM name and if we don't want members think that we encourage or support TM names in our community.

The requirements for name in the title is not new and we have discusses several time. You can list in the Exclusive section if you don't want to list the name in title.

We only give warning and PM to new members when they violate the rules. It is impossible to send PM to OP for every violation.

We (Mods) only enforce the rules. You can always make suggestions and it is up to the management to approve the changes.

Thank you all.

Kris,

I understand but I can't change the rules. Go ahead and create a thread in the suggestion section but it's up to the management approve it.

I know we have talked about this may times but it does not hurt to mention it again.
I have to comply to the rules too! We make no exception to mods or admins.

Thanks,
John
