Appraisal forums

I there should be at least 255 characters before you click submit in this forum. The reason is people are just saying: Reg fee. or: $0 I think people should have to at least explain why that name is that and such. Thats just me... but it would make things a bit easier for the person that wants to know how much their name is worth.

Anyone else?

Doesnt have to be 255 characters... i only said that just to give a number

I think it's good idea to be more descriptive in appraisals and I think it will prevent people from just quessing for a value but to actually check some stuff about the domain.

Well people want to say how much the domain is worth.
The staff won't cheak that profile thing I did so I can't be bothered with that forum anyway.

I think it's a good idea, you could even have it as low as 10 characters just to rule out the "Reg fee" and "$0".

I think 255 characters is way too much, but maybe have like a 100 character limit, or 3 complete sentences.

I agree, a hundred characters wouldn't be too long. For instance, this post is almost a hundred character already.

This may require a hack installed for per forum post count requirements... But I do believe it would cut down on "0 imho" or "kewl domain" apprasials.

Im for it. I think it will help the people who are asking for apprisals. Does anyone know if their is already a VB hack that does this?

Not that I know of... I haven't checked out Vbulletin.org in a while though.

If you check out most of my appraisals, I already try to do not, not to the benefit of me, but the user asking for the appraisal. Its not too hard (for most of us) to sit down for maybe three seconds and ask ourselves - what is a good name and what is not (most of that comes natural to us domainers anyawys, now).

I think that there are always going to be people here that leave appraisals with the typical "regfee" or "$0 imho" (without the vb hack). The only problem is that we don't want users to be discouraged when appraising domain. This is one of the great things about NamePros - Free peer appraisals.

For the time being, I think there should be a small "appraisal" guide on the page while the appraiser is typing the appraisal that serves as a reminder of all the necessary parts that go into a good appraisal.

Just my thoughts, spread through my fingers.
