#1 - Jeff is not participating in this thread as Staff
#2 - It shouldn't matter if he is or isn't (Staff Members are still members and entitled to their opinions) .... In fact - I intend to Start voicing my opinions a bit more around here very soon (You won't like them all - I can assure you).
#3 - Even the "Seller" states
Personally I think that the negative comments of one poster here will not have had any real influence, especially since that is more than compensated by all the prositive reactions from the others.
I personally Don't see a negative comment toward the seller or buyer - But more toward the "Venue" it was sold at if anything - Anyone that hasn't had a negative experience there has not been doing this stuff long enough.
The opinion over the value of the domain mentioned - We are all entitled to state our opinions on that as well.
#4 - Once again , This was posted in a Discussion section .... There should always be viewpoints from both sides of the fence IMO.
Anyone that only wants to hear "positive" things all of the time should go speak to themselves in a mirror where it is safe.
I and the other staff have done our best to keep those who signed up here just to Trash .mobi (with no reasoning at all) out. For the most part - Those accounts were all the same person and once I actually had a verified Name and Address on this guy (He was not a current member before the .mobi release dates) , I told him I'd out him to you guys if he didnt stay away - And he has.
We've cleaned up threads where things got too heated - and even issued some stern warnings.
NamePros has been more than helpful to .mobi users and investors IMO (Do you see a .mobi section on any of the other major boards ?).
BUT :
he puts himself and you at risk
????? How - By questioning a sale at SEDO ??? Sorry , I don't see it. I stopped using SEDO several years back because of the fake offers etc ...
Please note - I did not say the "
possibility" of fake offers - They
WERE fake offers and there will continue to be fake offers there on any or all extensions until they screen the buyers by making them fill out a verifiable application BEFORE participating (And even then , Shilling will continue).
There Were No slanderous remarks made ... and even if there was - It's Kind of hard to slander people when you don't even know who they were/are at the time ....
Censoring out Differing opinions in Discussion threads isn't a solution to anything IMO - Proving the extension will Live long and Prosper might be though.
To date : I've not read or seen anything to change my original opinion of the extension ...
Does that mean much to anyone that does believe in the extension ? Probably not.
Could I and many others be wrong ? Yes we could .... We all have been wrong in the past and will be again in the future.
Do I value the Right to voice my opinions among Discussion threads ? YEP
