The word "PREMIUM" to be banned from forum

[acesfull]

"PREMIUM" should be banned as a description for domain names. It simply has no meaning anymore, thanks to all those nuckleheads who describe all of their domains as premium.

I've seen hyphenated names described as "premium." Even domains with odd and rarely-used or seen extensions, like .cc, .st, .fm, etc.

If a domain is really "premium," then the domain will speak for itself. No amount of hype is going to change how good or how bad a domain is. Tell me you've got sailboats.com for sale, and I'm sure people will recognize it's attributes. Describe a name like university-books.info as "premium," and you'll be seen as an ignorant newbie - or worse!

Due to the abuse of the word "Premium," I recommend that this word be banned from this forum, unless the word premium is actually part of the domain.

Please do not reply to this post, unless you are a Premium Member.

Thank You!

All my names are *******.

That's how ******* they are.

You have a good point, however I don't think banning the word altogether is the best way to go about it, what they should do is censor out the word "Premium" in any post that contains the words, Domain", "Domains", "Name", "Names", etc.

DNF is somehow able to X out other forum names, so I think this is possible.

LOL

Wait - that's backward! Everybody and his dog has com's. However, when it's a rare extension, well... now that's a premium domain.

(j/k ) And yeah, this phrase is now meaningless.

So, I can share my domain "PremiumTravel.net" but I can't mention the fact that it is "premium"?

Got it, thanks

Seriously though... with the resulting, near SCAM status of this rediculous "premium" craze going around... I think I'd have to agree with banning use of the word (for now)

However, I highly doubt it will happen as the self proclaimed "premium" master is a paying banner ad customer.

I guess we'll see.

I almost thought that you are going to ban my domain getpremium.com...
