Anything extremely rude about any member will be deleted. You agreed to a Code of Conduct when you signed up -- respect for other members was one condition of membership. I was only responsible for deleting one post -- one from Pred which I felt was insulting to Samit. I didn't delete the others and frankly, I don't even want to bother checking what was written because I probably don't want to know.
Namepros allows people to be for or against any domain extension they want -- you'll never get banned for liking .mobi however anyone making a habit of insulting staff,mods or other members will quickly find they're not welcome here.
If someone is insulting or ridiculing you (and that goes for any member of this forum) at any time -- day or night, send me or one of the other mods/staff a pm and I promise you it will be dealt with.
You know, it's pathetic that the same argument has been going on for over 2 and 1/2 solid years, nonstop. And, even worse, it has been allowed to continue.
@NP Staff (as a whole, I'm not addressing anyone in particular) - there are ways to put an end to the constant, years-long bickering. Everyone is sick and tired of it (mods and regular members alike). Why isn't anything being done? What's the holdup? Perhaps I'm in the minority here, I don't know, but personally I don't think that even "polite" bickering is okay when that's basically all that happens here. A little bickering here and there, sure, of course that's gonna happen. But it happens on a daily basis. You can't get away from it... and that's simply not healthy nor acceptable for anyone or NamePros as a whole. I have a proposal for you. I think that anyone who comes here for the sole purpose of arguing (on either side of the fence) should be banned from the .mobi subforum (at first only for a month perhaps, and then for a year, or forever). Every member here should be able to contribute something positive (ie, useful) to the community.. it's a simple concept. If a member rarely or never contributes anything useful, then you've clearly got a trolling issue on your hands. And again, this goes for every member, whether they like .mobi or not. If you can't be a positive part of the community, you shouldn't be part of it at all.

Believers will have you believe anything :D
They'd like you to believe that .mobi is a major success in an alternate reality.
I posted this in the .tv section - just as relevant here - The Cult Test, Questions 0

My take would be that a sub forum has a moderator to moderate and control that certain subforum. But it seems it must be ok for any moderator, with or without their biased opinion, can just go to any sub forum, comment, delete, and what... 'ban', at will, just because....., I don't know, they have a 'moderator' status here!??!? Why then delegate each subforum with set mods then?? Just get a bunch of ego driven mods, and let them do as they please throughout the whole forum, because they are a 'mod'!!I'm not going to comment on the decision made by another moderator/staff and I wasn't here when the deleted posts were written so I really don't know the whole story myself. If your post was wrongfully deleted, you have my apologies for that -- I have deleted very few posts in the .mobi forum, only ones insulting other members and recently, those of some anti-.mobi trolls.

Mods should only 'moderate' the forums they are assigned to! (of course that would just be logical..)
Mods can only delete/give warnings/ban people in their sections however staff can do so in any section. As a whole, I think the mods here are pretty reasonable -- maybe not as laissez-faire as at some other forums, but then again, I've been criticized for that myself, so it's hard to find a happy medium that will please most people. Frankly, anyone getting off on having the ability to delete posts and ban members on a forum needs to get a life imho. I try to remain as objective as possible when looking into matters -- we're just people and make mistakes like anyone else, however I do think all mods/staff have the best interest of the forum at heart when they take whatever actions are necessary.
Since you've addressed me specifically, I'll answer.I'm curious Reece, do you find it insulting and rude for Samit to insinuate that a .mobi investor is a cultist? Or is that somehow fair game since no one was named specifically? Is that the respect called for in the code of conduct? Especially from a NamePros Team Leader?
Since you've addressed me specifically, I'll answer.
1. I didn't insinuate any .mobi investor is a cultist, just those that don't allow anyone to question their 'god' and 'salvation'. I own .mobi's too, they're not worthless, just tough to sell at a price point I could even cover my costs at, so I'd rather develop them but haven't found an ide or tech that is future ready enough to impress me to get into it, as yet.
2. I'm tld unsensitive, it doesn't matter to me what is or what is not the tld. What gets my goat is to see people call any tld the solution to the worlds problems by being 'it'. Specially when you see a decided lack of any interest in sales, on the board and off it. This disparity between the 'pumpers' and the actual sales makes it seem like propaganda then, not a discussion, specially when they personally attack the person mentioning this, instead of offering constructive criticism or even a differing view, if so inclined.
3. RJ has very clearly mentioned that the Forum Rules provide a level playing field to all members, volunteer mods or team leaders or anyone else for that matter. Follow the rules, leave the personal attacks and the name calling out of it and no one will take any action on your posts or on your account.
No one has it in for you (not you specifically, just you all), least of all me, I'm an equal opportunity trader who's here to buy and sell domains. I'm sure I've had transactions with most of the people who disagree with me, but that is opinion, not business. I am not interested in politics, nor do I try to 'bash' tlds, but am well within my rights to say it as I see it, you might not agree with it, thats your call, you can always 'ignore' anyone by simply adding them to your ignore list.
But please, please, offer constructive NON OFFENSIVE opinions. Do not name call, you can disagree with anyone's opinion but calling them names just shows you pander to a cult, read the reference provided, was an education for me, might be for you too.
That's quite a departure from your earlier post, but I'll accept that you failed to initially clarify who you were talking about in your earlier post. Can you show me an actual example of anyone who thinks .mobi is their god and savior? Since you bothered to post it in this thread then you must have at least one example you can provide. Please note that as someone who knows many of the major .mobi investors, there is no tld worship that I am aware of. Being an enthusiasts is not worship.1. I didn't insinuate any .mobi investor is a cultist, just those that don't allow anyone to question their 'god' and 'salvation'.

You may not have an agenda but I think you're being naive when you say no one has it in for .mobi enthusiasts.No one has it in for you (not you specifically, just you all), least of all me,

Had more listened to me early on then maybe they might not have lost all their cash in the hype.
Those did listen. Are probably very grateful they were talked out of a bad investment. Of course I also get partial blame by mobi fans for helping diminish mobi (ridiculous assertion btw).
Do you deny the reverse is true? When I see comments like "Your the reason i stopped posting and helping people in the .mobi section." I have to believe this person has an agenda to shut me up and wants me to just go away.
I don't personally see why there just can't be a certain level of respect when discussing mobi no matter what you believe.
As for Pred. Not sure what was said but imho....he often steps over the line with personal comments. He should know better too since he has been here quite some time. I know he is a big man at the other big mobi forum site so maybe he is just best off there where he doesn't have to listen to an opposing viewpoint. Especially if he can't discuss it with civility or respect. NP doesn't need that type of member.
OMG had the domaining world only known, the almighty 'all knowing domainer' was actually here in this forum, every NPer here would be domainer kings!! One can't help but wonder if he's also spreading his domaining powers on all the other new, and old, extensions and saving those interested in such domainers from disaster of what to invest in or not. He could be saving so many from 'new extension hype!!' Maybe he can share his domainer wisdom here weekly, with 'his own private thread' of advice for all to listen too! Oh, please!!!labrocca said:I personally think my posts stating the many problems of mobi are extremely positive messages for NP members. Had more listened to me early on then maybe they might not have lost all their cash in the hype.
No one knows their self better than.. themselves!dotcomisdead said:I note that under the user name it tells you what that member is; new member, senior member etc.. why does Labrocca's say "recovering jerk"?

:bah:
(good grief!)

Reece, that title he has, 'he' added it there for the public to see, and obviously comment on. No different then what each individual puts in their sig lines. I/noone made anything up, he himself wrote it and published it.Please keep this thread free of insults or it will be closed and that has nothing to do with censorship -- it has to do with respect. I'm more than willing to listen to complaints about how this forum is being run or suggestions on how we can improve it however if you want to complain or insult other members, please send it to me by pm -- I'm not going to hold it against anyone if they want to vent their anger to me privately.

Hello Friends:
Thanks you all for all the replies, I really got lots of ideas and many new information about .mobi from your replies in this thread. However, when I posted my question, I never thought this thread would go 3 pages long. And I just got to know there might be some complaints has be transferred to the moderator of this section, that is not my original intention. All my thought is just want all .mobi player have a good future.
Thanks again!
I'm curious Reece, do you find it insulting and rude for Samit to insinuate that a .mobi investor is a cultist? Or is that somehow fair game since no one was named specifically? Is that the respect called for in the code of conduct? Especially from a NamePros Team Leader?
Considering you're the sole mod for this section, if you don't who will? I can't imagine being balanced in your policy enforcement without bothering to see what else was written.
