If this is the first time you have seen this little phrase, then you have not done enough reading. If you have seen it at lesat 10 times, then you are on the right track. As emphasized, read and learn. Not just about TMs, but domaining in general. Many different subjects are covered from legals, to PPC, to auctions to developing to much much more.
DO NOT have a knee jerk reaction if you receive a C&D. Be logical and think the situation out. If they have a case, be careful on how you proceed.
Another tip, do not take domaining or NP personally. You will be called a cybersquatter, a lowlife, a leach on society from outsiders. You will be taken to task on this board if we feel you crossed a line. Speaking for myself, I will be blunt at times. It is not to be mean spirited, but it is to drive home a point. If someone posts and it shows bad faith, I will call you a cybersquatter. If you don't like it, learn why I did. We usually list why we feel that way.
Be receptive to other's opinions. Sometimes it can get heated around here, but we all have the same goal, to raise the reputation of the domaining community.
Read UDRPs. If someone links a decision, read that decision and learn the process and see how conclusions are made. These are the end line (usually) for domain disputes. This is where we get most of out opinions.
HAVE FUN!!!! This is an aspect of domaining that is sometimes missed. I love the business and had a great time buying and selling. Stay with what you know.
