As a side note to all of this great debate, for those that may have missed it, this was brought to the forefront because a few days ago, someone thoughtlessly, did in fact post a screenshot of a DM and was promptly and rightfully so, jumped on by many members. The poster subsequently, and unsuccessfully tried to get the post removed and also profusely apologized about a half dozen times to the other member and the community at large for their lack of professionalism by doing so. So, in retrospect, the community policed itself properly, like Eric is claiming NamePros likes it to do. And finally, in my first 5 months as an active member on NamePros it was the very first time I have seen a DM publicly shared, so I don't think anyone should be worried about using the DM system if it works for you!
Actually nothing was done about it - https://www.namepros.com/threads/400-000-for-a-domain-on-namepros.1020185/
Even tho the threadstarter requested it and I'm sure the guy selling onlinetv probably doesn't want it out there either.
Screenshot, post is still there. Good way to lose members. NP is basically allowing people to post private messages, some of these business dealings, like this one in public. Maybe he didn't want that public.
We would only get involved if there was a rule violation, such as private personal information being shared:
Ok, just wanted to clarify. So you can post private business dealings/discussions in public. Even if one the participants doesn't want it and tells you, doesn't matter, it stays.
If you look at the screenshot under Conversation Participants it says:
king112233
onlinetv - who will probably never post here again
I think maybe add an *
*possibly the rest of Namepros as well
So it is.
