status-resolved New subcategory to sell the whole portfolio

[HoloNames]

I am trying to sell my whole portfolio HoloNames.com - but I hit the wall. I used the category Make offer, but the mod contacted me that I have to remove adult domains.

But than the information is incomplete because I am sellling the adult domains too, they are part of my portfolio. So, I could link to them externally, but than whats the point of list the domains at NamePros at all? Why not to create a simple html page and put only a link in my thread. I guess that's not what NamePros team wants, to become a redirect hub, right?

So, I suggest to create a new subcategory for selling the whole portfolios including adult domains.

Btw. I think you should rethink the adult domains policy and words like sex or porn should be allowed. At least for the portfolio category, otherwise it will not work, because a lot of people have adult domains in their portfolios too.

No, keep adult in adult.
Period.
Too many threads have people posting porn domains in them as it is.

True, when one has an adult domain in the portfolio, one is messed up.
Instead of listing the domain as porn.com, list it as p**n.com and next to it just pm me for the domain?
Would that be allowed?

The issue is that we have to separate adult content from other content, both for legal reasons and because that's what a significant portion of our community expects. I agree that it can be hindering in some respects, but it's a necessity.

Censored domains are probably okay is casual discussion (with discretion), but they lack the necessary definition for a sales thread.

One possibility would be the option to flag threads/sales as containing adult domains, without actually placing them in separate forums. Users would then have the option of whether to view such content; members who aren't interested in purchasing them would automatically have any such tagged threads hidden. I'm not sure how much work that would require on our end or whether we already have something of the sort in progress, so I'll bring it up to the team and see what they think.

These are the steps:

1. Create a thread within Adult Domains For Sale with all of your adult domains.
2. Create a thread within Make Offer with all of your non-adult domains.
3. Edit both of the threads above to include a link to the other thread and indicate that the rest of the portfolio can be seen by visiting the associated thread.

Thanks Eric, but this is just a hack. You should really think with your team on something for selling portfolios including adult domains, a special category only for that, maybe for registered users only etc. (maybe to include nsfw icon, like on reddit or something else).

Please can you explain why after the above conversation was had.. you make a thread selling adult names outside the adult section?

Many thanks

For the time being, the steps that I've outlined above are the only option. We will work on adding more options in the future. Until then, you must follow the instructions above to accomplish your goal.
