Improving the reported sales thread - Add a separate linked discussion thread

[twiki]

I have an idea that would, in my opinion, improve the reported sales thread by a lot.

The problem is comments. I believe they are still needed. I miss them, frankly.

- On one hand, you need a de-cluttered approach in this thread, just sales.

- On another hand, people want to ask questions. Around certain domains, whole discussions can be created and some are very interesting and useful.

These two things go against each other, unfortunately. But there is a solution with just a bit of extra coding.

I would suggest NP to add two links at the bottom of the box (where Thanks and Likes are). For example:

Comments (12) / Add comment

When you click on that, it will take you to a separate commenting thread that is used for this purpose. ( Optionally, a filtered view that only shows those comments would help; OR at least point to the first related comment)

Also when you click add comment, it will take you to the same thread with a quote of the content /reported sale.

TL;DR; NP tech - would be great to add a Comments link at the bottom of each reported domain that would allow discussions in a separate thread to keep the sales thread de-cluttered. Thanks!

What do you guys think?

Edit: The reported sales thread is vital to this community and tremendously useful to all of us, this will make it even more useful.

There is no way a large group will comply with a new rule. Many don’t comply now as it is. Report your sales thread is fine as it is imo. People can contact by dm or there is another thread for clutter, unnecessary comments, etc. They also can open a new thread.

There is a reason comments are highly discouraged on that thread— its for reporting and clicking like or thanks is sufficient.

I like the suggestions - but regardless of what is done - decreasing posts that are not a reported sale is a positive.

Yes - but there is a better way, a world of both.

I liked the old way with the questions.

In this way, you can get the clean reporting but also the comments and questions for those who are missing that, like myself.

Hi

if, you had a mature audience that was "self-moderated",
then discussing or asking questions about a sale wouldn't be an issue.

i rarely, if ever read that section, but it would help get insight, if/when more details about a sale are shared

but, you know how it is, some can't stay on track even if driving a toy train.


imo...

Wasn't there a thread at the forum for discussing the reported threads? I searched and couldn't find it.

 

[twiki]

There is but doesn't work well I think. I asked NP years ago to add a comment button so discussion can be made but in connection with the sales post.

Is it one of these?

• https://www.namepros.com/threads/popular-domain-sales-content.1027781/

This one, maybe?

• https://www.namepros.com/threads/discuss-and-report-any-details-of-domain-name-sales.998009/

 

[Altetra]

Yes a special button which will redirect with Quote/reply to one of those topics.

yes, this one, thanks.

everything fine now.
sales thread needs sales only and zero comments... and comments on separate thread as it's been for years.

people go to salss thread to check sales not for a string of 8384 comments per sale. cheerios.

I think his suggestion is an automated button under the sales report taking to the comment thread with the quote from sales report. So sales thread would still remain for reporting only.

For future reference, there is a link to the discussion sales thread in the 1st post of the sales-only thread:

Questions are allowed, but do not post commentary. If you want to discuss or comment on a sale in this thread, quote it and then post it in the following thread instead:

• Discuss and Report Any Details of Domain Name Sales

For future reference

Thanks for this.

This is NOT what is really needed and could make the sales thread much more useful.

 

[alcy]

come on. its called sales thread for a reason. to report sales. anything extra goes to another thread. which we have for years now. I'm tired of folk trying to fix shit that ain't needing fixing.

This is a great suggestion; it's a simple convenience link/button to start discussion about reported sales in the discussion sales thread.

The only issue is that it requires custom development for a single thread.

It would be easier for us to convince the developers to do this if it was a solution that could benefit many threads, instead of a single thread. Development is very expensive, so development for a single thread is not easy to justify.

Any ideas?

didnt twiki talk of having link to separate thread for each sale..while u just talked about linking to the general sale discuss thread? how come u dont just tell him to start new thread for given sale to talk about it.. or just go to the one general sale talk thread ??
