@johnn - I feel your pain. Yes there exists domainer-to-domainer market, but it barely works in forum format. The other side of the story is that removing or at least allowing to completely hide sales stuff for logged-in users may affect other (useful) discussions/threads... less readers, less participants. My normal mode is to surf showing "only domain discussions" though. So I do not see any sale offers, and also no discussions about lets say U.S. politics where I technically have nothing useful to say and nothing personally interesting to read as I'm outside U.S., etc, etc..
Well. Bob was the Owner of Bob's Crab Shack. But he used to go to Billy Bob's Crab Shack to eat everyday and he was a long time Patron. Of Late, he started complaining that the order portions were too small and he was not getting his money's worth......So it goes!
I agree there is a lot of crap being pushed, new blood asking old questions, and uneducated offers being thrown around. I stay hoping they will filter themselves out or at least search the forum before asking the same old stuff. I feel like mods used to delete repeat posts but the forum is getting big and hard to manage I suppose. I wish I was in a position to make a good offer on some of your 3L.net as my liquid names are gone, but so is my job and car. Everyone needs a reset once in a while, best of luck.
