This is very funny thing though why would mods want to protect the Trademarks of companies that they have never even heard of.
Don't try to turn it into a different direction Nick.
As you very well know it's not about TM's from companies we've never heard of, because those wouldn't stand out...may not even be recognized as actual TM's.
It's about the most obvious and blatant TM domain sales threads.
To save Namepros reputation?
When it comes to obvious and blatant TM domain sales thread...Yes!
Don't tell me it's shines a good light on NP if someone is trying to sell SonyCameras.com?
That's my point i'm trying to convey.
But where does the Namepros reputation comes in.
See above.
You all know I had been against that send to sedo auction category for Namepros reputation. I also want to keep Namepros reputation good and shining.
I remember that, and it didn't/doesn't make sense,(But i don't want to discuss that specific matter) - now is there another occasion and you want to ignore it.
That's just not right, especially if this is the general consensus of NP's staff and leadership.
But I can bet there are atleast 5000 threads in achieves that somehow or the other are infringing Trademarks.
Right, and if some of those are painfully obvious, that shouldn't even be given the chance to exist.
Using that as an excuse to exclude future obvious TM's domain sale threads is not right.
If a trademark owner wants then he or his staff with appropriate rights can come register on namepros. Press that report button and someone from mod team might delete it :D If trademark owners don't want to take that much responsibility of their own trademarks then why would a mod worry about it.
Yeah, why would you, if you don't care how the public perceives a domain discussion forum that supposedly is for legitimate domain business discussions/transactions, then why indeed would you worry about it?
I can foresee 100 threads going in trashcan right now if this rule is brought in effect.
So how will the market place work out.
That would be a bad sign if there are 100 threads that are blatant TM infringing domains
Are we [the Mods] going to take place of UDRP and make decisions which domains are infringing the TM's and which aren't. Which domains are being used in bad faith and which aren't? It will be lot of mess. Plus we are not an authority, we are forum mods, we are not ICANN or the Law itself. Let them do their work.
Nick, it's about the obvious TM domains like SonyCameras.com
Don't tell me you don't feel at all motivated to remove those type of threads?
I'm not suggesting every Mod has to play the role of a entire UDRP panel, jury and executioner for questionable domains/interpretations.
It's a matter of removing obvious, blatant TM infringing domains...
