In your PM box, you can select "Sent" messages. If you have a problem remembering who you pm'd ... it should be in your sent box. If you want to Subscribe to the thread ... Then click on "Thread Tools" in the upper right hand corner and select Subscribe.

I'm sorry but I just WON'T go search every PM to see if I already replied, since it's SO EASY to just take a glance at the thread and notice if I already replied. I simply will not do it, period. Thread subscription works when I'm keeping an eye on a thread, not to remind me if I already responded to it or not (and I hate multi-page thread subscriptions). I'm not being rude here, I'm just letting you know of a habit I KNOW I won't change, specially when I do that every single day on every single board I'm a regular at. In other words, you just made your board user unfriendly. Take this as feedback, not as confrontation.

Just an example; in Domains wanted, there are LOTS of '3 char .(whatever extension) wanted'. I'm used to reply to those asking exclusively for a PM and making a 'PM Sent' post afterwards, to keep track. Next time I open the Domains Wanted section I'll know which threads I've replied to Instantly. I'm used as a consumer to let the goods and services providers know when they take a turn for the worst or when I feel it affects me negatively. It's their choice to listen or not to me if my complaint is an isolated issue, or to take a corrective measure if they get enough feedback. I don't expect, say, Nestle to come to my door and punish me or call me to insult me or disregard my opinion, and I don't expect that to happen here.

continued from my last post above:

as in...you should now just PM him without posting "PM sent"...but you are right as in if you did not do so then it might affect the response from others about your sale...like I said before.

 

[JEsports]

In the example listed ... If anyone wants to make a counter offer, they will do so. The post tekz used is a bump tactic and is an example of posts that are not allowed.

If tekz were to have posted something like ... "Current offer is $3,000 ... will consider if no higher offer is received" ... That would be permissable as he added new and useful information to the post.

thats unfair imo

but proves my point perfectly..whatever...I'm not getting warning points over this..lol

I THOUGHT you understood it finally, but ...

That's fine ... No one said you had to search your PM box, however it is you who mentioned you had a problem of remembering who you PM'd an offer too and who you didnt. I was just proposing a suggestion to help you look it up without having to jot it down on paper.

what does that mean, was that a bump?

Why is it not allowed to bump threads? I can imagine if someone does so 3 or 4 times but I find it favorable to allow at least one bump. The "merger/doublepost" option already ensures it doesn't happen in a certain timeframe but otherwise I think it should be allowed at least once, not everyone is online at all time so it is good to bump it a few days later to reach some fresh eyes. All in all that is the goal of this forum, to efficiently sell and buy names.

Mocus, if you are going to cry and act like a baby over this all day ... I suggest you find a playground.

 

[GodBlessYou]

lol man. I think people are taking these bumps far out of context. You already have a 24 hour post wait unless someone else posts before you.

Sigh, lets make a poll, and majority wins?

wow, excuse me for being active in this thread I feel strongly about, I would'nt want to have a valid point or anything or participate in the
"suggestions, comments, or questions" thread here..
that might be bumping too..we would'nt want that...why was this thread moved here if it's not negotiable and we can't debate it?

 

[GodBlessYou]

wow, this is a question thread right? I would also suggest that the "moderator" takes back the remark

its just gonna start a world war here.

I also think "pm sent" is important. The reason for this is not double notification. But to gain awareness to the public that the seller has contacted a specific potential buyer for sales. This in returns, will attract more buyers for participation in discussion.

I respect the mods 100% here and I mean that.
...but let's not forget who makes this site go round and round...it's US the members...without us there is no money or sales or posts so I think our input should count for something and we should'nt have to feel like we are gonna get points or get "in trouble" or ridiculed for speaking up in the appropriate forum post..which is here.

That is correct ... it is for discussion/debate here. You are just adding childish behavior.

 

[Focus]

ok well obviously if we play whos got more pull here you are going to win hands down, but i think my posts so far in this thread have been well informed and professional. ???

You are just adding childish behavior.

where?

I just think this is going to hurt us the members overall and I care..please don't take it the wrong way...I am but a piece of sand in the sandbox.

I honestly don't think it will work.

I vote for a recount..maybe Adam in his infinite wisdom will find a happy medium like he seems to have a knack for...trust in our DCG.

whats that old saying? "if it ain't broke..."
