debate Does kindness still has a chance?

tell me about a time when you tried to help a fellow domain investor, he let you do it, and actually thanked you afterwards.

from what i see people are so afraid they will get scammed that they pass on real opportunities, they question the motives of anyone that will try to help them or do something nice for them.

it's a f...messed up world we are living in

There are members who say thanks, either in public or in private. It happens.

No good deed goes unpunished!

A few weeks ago, a prominent member of this forum reached out to me with a buyer lead on a domain he had sold to me, a few months earlier, here on NamePros. I never would have closed this deal as the domain wasn't resolving to anywhere and it was very nice and professional of him to pass on the buyers information to me so I could close the deal. I sent him a 10% brokers fee as a thank you, even though he never asked for anything for providing me the lead. I've always been a big believer in "karma", "paying it forward" and "doing unto others"!

There are also members who reach out to others, either in public or in private.
Some reach out every day with their contributing / helpful posts.

Peace,

Either scammed or Spammed! There are 2 main reasons people reach out to you in this domain business, to spam their crap or to try to scam you. Nobody will help you for Free... sad but true!
The responsible of this situation is the Fake appraisal scam loser, that loser take advantage of newbies and after that they panic when somebody contact them either by email, chat or forum. The other responsible are all the youtubers that Spam their cheap "domain softwares" about of how to "make money" buying and selling domains. Those losers fail as domainers so hard that want you to fail like them! lol

Not meant to boast or whatever but; I wanted to tryout Efty and was looking at a fellow NP members' Efty page for some inspiration. I noticed he accidentally put up a domain with a $3 BIN so I immediately PM-ed him.

I'm a domainingnoob and maybe I'm naive too, but I look at this forum as us against the World.

Was it DomainNames.com?

LOL!! No.

People help me and I help people all the time. I have made many good relationships from domain investing. It's no different than the real world. Some people are more reserved than others. I would say 99% of domain investors are honest, reliable, intelligent people. Honesty, reliablity and intelligence are much more important to me than kindness in business.

Well see it this way, no good deed goes empty. Emphasis is on the good deed, it will definitely come back in ways you could never had thought of.
Same thing if goes for one who did eVIL

Just remembered how Forest Whitaker pronounced evil as e-VIL which he would then cast out of McAvoy for sleeping with his wife in the movie
The Last King Of Scotland.

trust is not something others can do for you
you either are capable of trusting or not
it's solemnly your own choice

and trust means:
you accept being disappointed
