Unfortunately, it is unlikely to return this year, but next year is a real possibility.

It's official. All I want for Christmas is new Namepros chat and @forge to manage it.

 

[biggie]

Correct, but that's only because you're a top member. It must be earned through contributory participation in the community. It could also be lost if a member demonstrates that they do not have the best interest of the community in mind with regards to their access to it and other community moderation features.

Hi

as long as i can see who is downvoting my posts, then that is sufficient.

i can deal with that going forward.

Thank you.

Apparently that will happen when you have been a member for 10 more years.

Is there a function to build a favourite list of Namepros members please? Cheers.

@Bravo Mod Team Just to clarify what I'm trying to do is manually build a list of Namepros members who register domain names and develop them into monetisable or saleable (sellable?) assets. I then want to filter all content on Namepros to just show what those members post. It's just a feature test good to have, not a neccessity. But if you don't ask then you don't get, you get me? Cheers.

Hi @Echo Mod Team

i believe a clear pattern has now been established.

Please address it


imo....

Stop instigating things and post the evidence. What is the pattern iyo? Or are you just making things up? Personally, I'll continue to up-vote or down-vote anything I agree/disagree with, as per the rules. If you don't like it, tough sh1t. I agree that voting should NOT be anonymous but it won't change how I vote.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

I am glad we got that all cleared up.
How do I, and those privileged enough see the invisible down and ûp votes

Maybe you need a paid account?

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Answer a question with a question?
Its ask a moderator.
Thanks for ūnderstanding.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

And red, @biggie does not have a paid account but can see invisible votes, so the question you gave as an answer is invalid. Get back on that wagon

The irony of it is whenever I give a down-vote or an up-vote I almost ALWAYS combine it with a like/thank/dislike/agree/disagree so it's almost NEVER anonymous when I vote. That's why he doesn't have a leg to stand on, and it's why I'm 100% IN FAVOUR of voting not being anonymous. I stand by every single up-vote and down-vote. There's no sub-plots or shenanigans going on here. But, like you, I would be interested to know who gives the anonymous down-votes. Being a pillar of the Namepros community @biggie must have special access like Donald Trump has his special master review granted by United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen M. Cannon. Why don't we ask her? (oops, that would be answering a question with a question). Right, no more alcohol for redemo tonight.

Gave you minus 6 votes for this post, and publicly disagreed with it too.

Actually, you didn't, after reviewing that post, the -6 came from 3 different members. Please do not instigate or antagonize members. If that happens again, we'll have to issue your account an infraction.

It seems that you both have some tension between each other that's been going back and forth a while.

We would advise that you choose to stop engaging the members posts, knowing, premeditatedly, that it's going to cause problems. Since we all know that you know how agitated it makes the member now, moving forward, any aggressive downvoting on that specific members posts (from today's date, moving forward) will be deemed harassment and stalking.

Your account has been noted so other moderator teams are aware of this behavior.

Wow, wow, wow, I'm not having that! There's no instigation or infraction on my part. I made an honest mistake on that post. But the fact THREE members down-voted it shows 100% I'm not doing anything wrong. The root cause of the problem is that you're singling out one member, which is @biggie, for privileged access to voting identities, and it's simply not fair. But those are your rules, and it's your forum. So I relent.

Tension? Not at all, we're having a blossoming bromance.

So you're telling me not to engage with @biggie in any way? That's fine, I'm happy to do that from this moment.

Your account has been noted so other moderator teams are aware of this behavior.

Has his account been noted too? That would be called fairness, which is all I'm asking for. Fairness. Anyway, I've had enough of this. Got better things to do. Case closed.

Hi Mods,

Sooo, I just went to check some of my old posts and found I can only go back 10 pages.
When I click the "view older results" button I get

NamePros Community​

No results found.

Have I missed something or has all my posting data except for 10 pages been expunged / deleted?
Having my prior post data base is very important to me, (and others, I'm sure) and I'd like to know where to reach it.

Thank you.

Peace,
Kenny

Turn off non sales notifications?

@Shamiul said here https://www.namepros.com/chat/page-119#post-8698088 That'd be great. Show me how to. Lol.

Is there a way to turn off non sales notifications please? Asking for a friend. Thanks.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

What a happÿ thread. Thanks for bring to attention 11 days ago that we, you and me, maybe others, cant see past last 10 pages.
You asked moderators a great question, it would be nice if they replied. Can you answer this mods @Bravo Mod Team @Echo Mod Team @The guy uses his real name

Perhaps @Paul can help?
This deserves an answer.

Seriously.

Agree with Kenny, I can barely remember what happened yesterday so need a memory jog from the old posts sometimes.

The tl;dr is that search is hard. There’s a trade off between performance and number of pages. Currently, we cap it at 10 pages of results. We may increase this in the future, but it’s unlikely you’ll be able to jump to an arbitrary page if we do; you’ll need to navigate through each page sequentially.

what tools do you have to check shill bidding on domain auctions here at namepros.
what tools do you have to check irresponsible bidding / bluff bidding (wherein the bidder has no intention of buying a domain but keep on bidding irresponsibly inflating the price and if he/she wins there is no intention of paying for it) on domain auctions here at namepros.
do accounts with zero trade ratings/feedbacks be allowed to participate in auctions ?

Moderators are generally able to see when two accounts are being used from the same computer, even if one or both are using a VPN. Oftentimes, such accounts will be flagged even before they post. I don’t want to get into too much more detail than that.

That being said, it’s always going to be a game of cat and mouse. As our technology improves, nefarious individuals find new ways to circumvent it. Our last line of defense will always be you: if you see something suspicious, report it. If moderators aren’t able to find concrete evidence, they’ll escalate it to the tech team. We’ll then look over very detailed logs in search of anything amiss.

what if i am not sure and it turns out to be a fair bidding, can i just pm you ?

You can, but reporting it is fine, too. If you report it, it's likely to be looked into faster than if you DM a single staff member.

The biggest caveat with reporting is that our response to you has to fit in a small box, so it'll be brief and won't contain any details. You'll likely just receive a canned response regardless of how long staff spent investigating the issue. If you'd like more details, you can always follow up with a DM.

 

[MasterOfMyDomains]

Thanks for the replies Paul. I guess moderators cant answer the questions, they should appreciate all you do as much as we do. Sorry you got a -1 for your post in response to Kenny question. Wasnt me lol
