I TOO POSTED THIS ON THE OTHER THREAD AND I AM GOING TO SHARE IT HERE TOO
ALSO NOW I REALLY DARE ANYONE TO TELL ME THAT I AM NOT ENTITLED TO CALL THEM UNPROFESSIONAL
I don't want to get offensive towards anyone here but my opinion is that BOTH NR and the people who played that game are a disgrace for the industry.
NR knew for sure as , like someone else said, it takes a second to verify if a submitted domain is registered or not so imo they are not professional, unethical and they should shut down . I mean they didn't even warn or ban the account of those domainers..like...seriously???? To me this attitude shows how desperate BOTH sides are.
If I had a magic wand I would make ALL of them disappear and make the internet a clean place. To the ones who submitted I can say..where is your moral? Is it money the only thing you are interested in life? You should be ashamed; this is not being the " smartest " , this is cheating on the system and on other people who are trying to play respecting the rules.
In life, believe it or not, everything you do will come back to you; I am sitting on the side of the river waiting for that moment to happen.
I really invite people to stop submitting names to NR and BrandRoot as both, in different ways, proved not to be reliable and trustworthy.
