status-monitor I am amazed by Top domains here

[HotKey]

In a bad way. Bunch of gobbledygook if you ask me.

Should I point out examples, and am I alone in this? I mean come on, a top domain really should be a top domain, not the wishy-washy stuff being put in there. It seems almost we're at the point of desperation. Who's judging this stuff anyways?

We really should be setting better examples because folks use this as baseline criteria. It's important as this is a professional forum and if crap is top than everything is top. Get my point?

Do better. Nonsensical names have no place in Top domains. Even some two-worders shouldn't be there. Reason being is there is waaay better alternatives now. A top domain should be very strict, limited to the best of the best. Set a standard that must be met else we all smoking pipe dreams.

Sry for bluntness, just wanted to have it said.

A lot of what is asked eg appraisal is the not sure basket so they ask about their worst domains probably not their best so then the discussion is about a mediocre name.

In hindsight, there's probably not as many of us who own top-tier domains like President, so I'm starting to take the approach of "at least we got something to show".

Not to demean other names, it's just such a gap in quality with the other listings that get accepted that I think it really needs a revisit on categorization with perhaps adding a new one.. maybe like a couple of sub-sections under the "Top" category. Eg, Top domains above $1000- $9999 and Top domains 10k+.

We can generally determine pretty quickly what fits in what at first glance. I do understand valuations are subjective, so it can feel restricting to place a name in one category where the seller is looking for an unlimited potential of sorts.

Seems to be a top secret but (if it is not an AI - based process) one can assume that it is someone who (at the end) "approves" it (or not) based on his own view (what else) which is not surprising, we all have our views and except for domain names which are literally top it will always be a matter of personal view ... no one is forced to submit their domain names to nP to get them "approved" (or not) as top domain name but if someone does then s/he should accept the outcome.

i was browsing namepros and at some point clicking on one of the visited threads i see mentioned my domain without permission saying it doesn't have a certain quality.

If this is allowed it is absurd. We are in the far west

I get it... all gangsta until it is the quality of YOUR domain that is questioned.

Oh stop it.... having people DISCUSS your domain only increases the potential interest in it, it does not devalue it. Whining about it however does devalue what someone would pay in order to work with you.

A good solid domain's price is not tarnished. Your domain is only worth what someone is willing to pay. To me, it is like any other liquid 4 L. It is not a One Word .com or anything special.

What has the most impact on the domain price is YOUR ability as the domain owner to find the ideal buyer for it, for whom the name is valuable.

But discussing a name on a wholesaler forum (there are VERY little end users here) does nothing to devalue the name as you didn't have anyone giving you a $10,000 offer and then retracting it after seeing this post and then saying "I think it is only worth $50."

I thought this thread was buried by now and it was all fixed lol, but apparently I was wrong

Yes pal, you are right.

It's fine we all got different opinions ... me, you, the namepros top domains approval team.

You seem particularly interested. If you'd like to make an offer I'm here.

Best regards,

domain boy

So the admins just ignore questions if they don't want to disclose something?
