.mobi Rules, Please Comment

[iNod]

Hello There,

I posted what I believe is roughly 2 days worth of thinking how to word properly to encourage discussion but discourage puerile acts.

Let me know what you think.

Now that there are some rules for the so called bad guys there should also be some guidelines for the good guys too...

The rules apply to everyone, not just "the bad guys". But your point is well taken about bashing someones reg. I think it is adequately handled in the first line of the rules, "encourage business attitude in this newly created tld section and to stop puerile acts." If we all approach the .mobi subforum with that perspective I think we will be fine.

Good "sticky" thread / post, iNod ... and a welcome and natural evolution to our beloved #1 Namepros .MOBI Forum™, IMHO. :tu:

Quickly, regarding Rule #4 (Questioning the .MOBI extension) ... for clarification, if, as part of any .MOBI discussion and when/where relevant, would it be fair and balanced to address some of the unanswered questions of mTLD as it pertains to the ongoing conversation, etc? For instance, if the topics of RFP's, browser defaults, .MOBI investors, and/or public awareness campaigns ... can these topics be discussed with an reference to these questions if they are consistent with the thread topic / discussion at hand (and, obviously, always in a professional and business-like manner)? :talk:

Thanks very kindly.

Please hang tight, fellas ... I'm simply looking for clarification from our good friend iNod - who has posted the Rules in the referenced sticky and then asked for our comments here, IMHO. :talk:

Thanks for your patience, and as I mentioned above I welcome the Rules as posted in the sticky! :music:
See you soon.

Tis a shame one must post rules on conduct and fair play.

To those that have a disdain for mobi, start you own thread. Should such a thread exist, those that like mobi can stay out.

Basically, its like this...I posted in a .TV forum the other night. I don't own any TV domains, don't plan to buy any (nothing against them, don't know that much about them).

It was a comment regarding the sale of surface or surfacing.tv and if there could have been a correlation between the recent news regarding the MS ComputerSurfing. Indeed, I felt there was based on the timing of the sale vs. the announcement. But I was interested in the story more than the domain as it is a newsworthy and noteworthy event in ANY domain extension. I was very curious to find out who bought it and registered the domain.

My point is, being a public forum and all, I feel that I essentially invited myself into their "virtual" living room but was mindful of my manners.

If I did not have anything nice to say, or anything constructive to add, or a genuine interest in the news or discussion, then I would have stayed out.

Didn't our parents tell us that once, twice, three times...if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all?

It's a shame we need moderators to monitor what we should have learned when we were seven years old.

I find the rule about flaming .mobi to be a tad excessive. Being banned from NP for posting something which is destructive to this extension should result in a banning from the .mobi forum IMO -- after a warning has been issued. And certainly shouldn't result in a banning from NP altogether -- that seems like quite a harsh consequence for someone who just doesn't know where his comments are acceptable or hates .mobi so much he can't restrain himself (and so you can help him out by blocking his access to the .mobi forum).
