status-resolved Is This a Form of Subversive Trolling?

[DNWon]

So today I wake up to a NamePros moderator warning for unsolicited advertising for a domain name that I submitted to @Recy in their request for a baby themed domain name: (Yes I'm pissed! )
Request thread below:

https://www.namepros.com/conversations/re-looking-for-a-domain-for-a-baby-themed-site.2760597/

I Direct Message my submission below: (I submit 1 out of my 1,500 names)

KIDAW.com

Short memorable pronounceable brandable

Thanks! Steve

In my defense the name was submitted for a baby themed site for the following reason:

Kidaw.com
The word Kid is defined as:
noun
1.
Informal. a child or young person.
The word aw:
interjection
2.
(used to express sentimental or sugary approval.)

So, while it may not suit the solicitor's taste, is the name that far fetched that they would report me for unsolicited advertising. First off, it was solicited by the OP. Is responding to a request with one name that must have taken the OP at least 2 seconds out their life, to read, considered unsolicited advertising, because the OP doesn't like the name or understand the meaning? Should I write this off as a new user @Recy being too over zealous or have I been a victim of a new form of hidden subversive trolling?

It was a mistake. Read the rest of the thread

To clarify a few things:

A warning for unsolicited advertising? Seems way out of line to me, and I think will have a chilling effect on people sending DM's for Names Wanted!

That's the goal of the warning. It should give great pause to anyone who sends domains that don't meet the seller's criteria that they're putting their NamePros account in jeopardy by doing so. Sending domains that don't meet the sellers criteria is a big issue and we do not take that issue lightly. If we receive a report and confirm this has happened, then a warning will ensue.

You have the option to leave a "Negative Review" on their profile.... just saying.

No, this is not an option and anyone who is found abusing the feedback system by giving a negative review to someone who reported them will receive a "Bad Business Infraction" warning. If anyone has ever done that, they'll want to delete those reviews before someone reports them to us and we take further action.

if/when a moderator responds to such reports and defines the submission in such a meticulous fashion,
then or if that definition does not match exactly with the OP's initial criteria....

then,
maybe no warning should not be given

If the moderator handling a report feels it is a gray area or ambiguous, then a warning may not be issued and just a friendly reminder. This is subjective: how one moderator interprets and handles a report could be different from another moderator, but the decisions of all moderators are being made with good intentions, regardless of whether you or I dis/agree with them in a particular instance.

I honestly didn't mean to report that post, and obviously didn't know I did. And, my sincerest apologies. Yesterday I was sent a slew of totally irrelevent names including ones that included desks, priests, cash, tech, etc. In going through all of those, I may have reported the wrong PM

Thanks for letting us know. The warning has been removed from @TheDot.shop's account.

This matter is resolved.


Sorry for any inconveniences,
