New sub-forum please

croupier · Jul 1, 2005

There's a lot of people who, for one reason or another, do not want to give complete info about a domain in public. Could we have a sub-forum in domain sales for these ?

Anyone not wanting to deal under these conditions can simply stay out of the forum.

What would you like to call it and what description do you want for it?

Didn't realise I was making work for myself

How's this?

PRIVATE DOMAIN SALES
This forum is for the sale of domains or websites where the seller does not want to publicly post complete information about the domain name, traffic, and/or revenue.

There is this one already.

Check "Private Sales"

That's just in the exclusives forum and I assumed it went by the normal rules of the other sales forums (domain in title, link to stats etc)

Not really
I do not think title is necessary in that section

But if it is, maybe adam can give acess to platinum users too plus without title the thread should be allowed in that rather then having a new section with the same thing.

Domain name in title is mandatory, for many reasons, including selling hijacked domains, etc. In Private Sales you need to post the domain too, it's just private because its only viewable by Exclusives.

Maybe my idea would cause more trouble than it's worth - your call

DNF isn't making any money with someone selling a name to another user. You either follow the rules or do not post your name for sale. For those who do not want to give information regarding their domain, there is a secret section called Private Messaging.

Not sure why anyone would not want to list the name. I think it is a good idea to have the name listed in the auction. This saves bandwidth of users PM other's and get a response saying they are selling askdjasdkjaslkdjasdlk .net.

I agree 100% with the domain in title. There was too many PM me URL sales and I think that's just a waste of time and opens up scammer possibilities. It was a good decision by admins here.

The waste of time aspect is why I suggested the forum, it would mean you could ignore the forum completely while others who were willing to jump thru hoops for the seller could check out sales that might not normaly be posted under the current rules for sales forums.

The scammer possibilities almost certainly make it a bad idea though.

The main reason that threads that don't list the domain name are not allowed, is because of the "bump" factor via "PM me the name" and "me too!" spam messages! I've never bought a domain I didn't know its name from the start (either in the thread title or in the thread itself as part of a larger sale).
