SnapNames questionable practices continue 318318

I love Snapnames.
More than DropCatch.
That said, this is inexcusable.

I like them too, and I had great experience with their customer service. But this deserves an explanation.

It could be that these are their corporate partners and they have some sort an agreement in place, which is fine, but they should be transparent about it.

I think there is another explanation to that situation.
At no point, in their thread with them, the bidders to remove were mentionned, nor why they should be removed.
You see them in the original replied tweet, but they probably don't.
They are using Hootsuite

Which looks like that :


It's possible they couldn't see the original tweet then.
The best way to have a proper answer would be to reach out to them via email probably.

That makes sense. I hope we get an explanation as it is been going for a while.

If you have any information on the SnapNames account "318318" PM me.

I just dealt with this 318318 bot. it would swoop in with 3 minutes left, extend the time and perform a minimum increment. rinse and repeat. I manually set my bid down, let it get to a few seconds until the end and bid. The bot then returned 5 minutes later with a minimum increment. it has a 5-minute sampling rate. all the way up and past my maximum bid. Has anyone had any recourse against these bots? 1timmy was on the auction as well.

I did lose the auction and tested it's sampling rate, which is 5 minutes. no one can beat it as a result.
