@chickenfillet,
You are right about two things, this is not Kindergarten and you CAN amend them, add to them, subtract them, any time you want.
However, there are consequences for not abiding by the rules.
This is NamePros forum. It is not Ebay and although a binding contract under their terms may allow you to back out, NamePros does not.
Please read these rules before posting an auction again.
6.2. Auctions
6.2.1 Auctions must be exclusive to NamePros until the winner is awarded the item(s) or the auction expires without a winner.
6.2.2 Reserve prices for domain auctions and website sales are not permitted; auction holders (sellers) must set a starting bid that they are prepared to accept.
6.2.3 An auction cannot be modified once a bid is placed with the exceptions of its Buy-It-Now ("BIN") price, bid increments, adding payment methods, and/or adding additional domains at no extra cost. Once a bid is placed, every allowable change (the exceptions just mentioned) must be posted to the thread as a new reply as well as updated in the original post before it becomes effective and valid (e.g., a BIN price cannot be accepted until this is done). BIN prices are not reserve prices and therefore do not affect
rule 6.2.10.
6.2.4 A Buy-It-Now ("BIN") price may be changed (added, reduced, increased, or removed) on an auction prior to it being accepted, in accordance with rule
6.2.3. The BIN price in an auction must be publicly accepted by a buyer.
6.2.5 Each domain and website auction must have the required information: domain, registrar, expiration date if
rule 6.1.6 applies, starting bid (default: $1), bid increments (default: $1), specific end date and time including the time zone or a relative end time (default: 72 hours after last bid), and payment options.
6.2.6 All valid bids are binding and cannot be retracted. Bids are void when outbid by another member. Auctions and
bids that are unclear, illegible, conducted outside of the public listing (e.g. via direct message), contain inaccurate information or invalid amounts are considered null and void.
6.2.7 Bids must be made publicly in the thread, but offers relating to active auctions should be sent via direct message.
Learn the difference between bids and offers.
6.2.8 Any thread claiming to be a
Dutch auction, must abide by
its format.
6.2.9 Reserving the right to decline a bid is only allowed if stated before the auction's first bid, is enacted before the auction has ended, and includes a fair reason.
Rule 6.1.24 applies.
6.2.10 Auction holders (sellers) must sell to the highest bidder with a valid bid at the end of the auction or to the first buyer to accept a valid Buy-It-Now ("BIN") price before the auction ends.
Rule 6.1.17 applies.
6.2.11 Auction increments must be in whole dollars of at least $1.
6.2.12 Auction formats, details, terms, and rules created by sellers must be reasonable, transparent, specific, predictable, and sensible.
6.2.13 All communication about auctions must be carried out on NamePros.com via public or direct messages. Transitioning a conversation to an off-site medium, such as email, is not allowed at anytime when discussing any aspect of an auction.
6.2.14 Auction holders (sellers) and the winners (buyers) must report auction sales that will not be completed.
