150 Ways to Show You're a Newbie.

[RegFee]

============
Update: We're doing great, getting closer and closer to 150 tips!

If you want some really helpful advice, take a look at post #60 by "armin":

Since you posted this topic, that makes you a noob. AHaH

============

In keeping with the spirit of IconPack's 150 Domaining Tips thread, I thought I'd make a thread where everyone can post their biggest pet peeves and annoyances with newbies. That way, new members can learn what not to do, or can at least be sent to this thread if they do something annoying.

Rules:

• Keep it short.
• Keep it NamePros forum specific.
• Be nice. This isn't a thread to bash new members, it's a place to post advice.
• Try not to duplicate other people's posts.

I'll start:

My biggest pet peeves are:

1) When someone argues with people replying to their appraisal request.
2) Misleading or ambiguous (vague) thread titles.
3) People begging for reputation points.

77) People that offer you 50% of profit on a new Business Project were you have to do all the work and they only provide a bad/new/recently regged domain name.

82) Non-Paying buyers..

 

[shopperx]

83) Sellers that ask you for your GoDaddy ID in order to push the domain to your account :lol:

84. Have a portfolio that is 80% .mobi or domain hacks...
85. Register ccTLD domains without getting acquainted with the rules ('why can't I push my .ec domain ?')
86. Try to look big by posting mediocre domains in the appraisal thread that supposedly got big offers...
87. Try to look big by posting requests for names in 'domains wanted' section, yet never purchase any and have had 0 TR for years...
88. Contact TM holders by offering to sell their own domain or a similar name...

89) Signatures like this one:

[Barrucadu]

[Similar to 89)]
90) People who add 'rep appreciated' to the end of a completely and utterlu worthless post. And then act suprised when nobody reps them.

 

[Kate]

91. People who still praise registerfly :D
92. People who think ccTLDs are just for domain hacks :blink:
93. People who think ICANN is there to help (well just like the government )

 

[Mr. Johnson]

94) Simply posting "I don't know" in a thread asking a question.

 

[Ferman]

[rawandy]

I guess this is #96 then.

#96 Writing LLL.EXT and so on, when its really a CCC.EXT

 

[ChrisChris]

97) Coming into the chat room and harassing people for an appraisal on a domain instead of posting it up.
98) Coming into the chat room and not reading any of the rules which is usually followed by massive amounts of spam.

 

[mis_chiff]

99) Abuse of the signature rule!

Signatures should be no more than four lines in length and may not contain images or font sizes larger than SIZE 2.

[ChrisChris]

100) Making heaps of posts one after the other in the for sale threads for different domains instead of one thread of all the domains.

*Yay number 100 :] *

 

[Halobitt]

101) Having a username along the lines of SEOguruWEBexpert and then asking for tips on how to get your domain name more traffic.
