Actually you state a good point to a degree. I get both sides. But since many are just fishing to hand pick gems from unsuspecting holders than the sincere buyer posts could at least be more specific on requirements.
Some are a obsurdly indirect.
But I also think there is a more constructive way to open the flood gates for the topic versus battle each other when were all in the same career or hobby that's difficult enough as it is.

Many are delusional, thinking that they can purchase valuable domains, for peanuts. They deserve the junk they are being offered.

Offering to report members and threatening bans, should not be acceptable at NP.

Yes true..in a marketplace everyone is seeking a deal...but wanting to buy a expensive domain for 50 bucks and posting threats of banning you for not sending exactly the same type of names is not a justified way of posting requests...just because you are buying and showing your liquidity to eager sellers doesnt warrant such posts....am i right?

Put up a request and you'll see why.

Example: I am looking to buy ABCDE pattern in .com ONLY $150 budget

You receive messages like: Sir I have PoodleWashingCoupons.Horse for $10000000000 only

No matter what the stated budget they want to buy your name for $25 ๐Ÿ˜‚ believe me. Or they are simply looking for ideas. Very few serious buyers.

I have seen the sharp language and I get it people send garbage or donโ€™t even read your request.

The ones that are rude in the post are best not to deal with period. I had someone report me wrongly and I reported him right back in 2017.

When people show you who they are believe them.

This place is primarily for unloading names you donโ€™t wantโ€” cheaply.

There has been one big deal reported publicly in the 20 months I have been here.

I recently had a WTB thread and I got quite a lot of the PoodleWashingCoupons.Horse kind of messages. I didn't report anybody and didn't threaten anybody in my WTB post but I can understand why posters do that. When you ask for something and people totally ignore what you asked for and send you irrelevant domains or delusional offers because they have zero understanding of domaining (zero is quite generous for some of them)... then it's spam, your time is wasted and it clutters up your inbox interrupting you to scan legitimate domain offers. So I can definitely understand why people are very strict about receiving this kind of spam that can also become harassment since some of them keep sending more and more messages with domains I would only take if I'd be paid for it (a sum worth dealing with these type of sellers and this nonsense).

yes very true...but in spite of such posts I still see people PM and many replies..is domain sales a desperate industry now? I would never reply to a post that is so rude and blunt ... I am sure 20 replies does not take thousands of dollars lost time to read time to read or ignore..:)

to add there are still many posts with vague requirements...no niche mentioned...just wanted 2 words.......what two words ? nothing defined and then there is complain..

I've only sent a few names in the marketplace to buyers to see if they may be interested in a purchase.

But I also read their requirements and send only what they may be asking for or interested in.

I've had nothing but good feedback from those who I sent them to but no sale and that's ok too.

The name met the requirements but just wasn't the name they were looking for I guess

If a buyer is clear with what they want and realistic in their budget, then I don't blame them really.
I quit opening WTB threads because I get flooded with endless unrelated stuff no matter how specific I am.

I don't report it though. I just ignore it.

Lol..

After reading the title I thought some other issue... I think you didn't came across that "threat" thread otherwise you will be rethinking of opening this thread... ;)

You are correct...but I think it as precautionary measure to discourage people sending irrelevant names...

That might be okay to certain level...still that is not a good way though...another simple way they also mention they won't respond if they don't like the names...it is also filtering some people..a reasonable way I think.

Sometimes new members are posting in comments itself repeatedly and it will be considered spamming...I think the same is happening in DM also.

I started a WTB thread a few months back. I was very specific about my wants and price (quite low). I wasn't flooded by all those kind of posts. maybe 1 or 2 over the month the thread was active. I had a couple of unrealistic prices wanted. I bought a couple of domains. When I posted. I was expecting the deluge being described here. But it never happened for me. YMMV.

Both sides have their cons:

1. The requester sometimes make outrageous requests, such as asking for serious one word.com's for pennies. And sometimes put examples of the bad one worders they don't want. No one currently in mind, so don't take offense.

2. The requester sometimes expects a quality name for peanuts. But sometimes a quality name is offered at the budgets max, like say $400. Now the requester may get upset thinking that someone is submitting a name for that price because it's on the high end of their budget. When sometimes in reality, a seller is sacrificing by selling the name that low. In any other situation the name may be sold for 4 figures. I remember getting MrSmile.com for low to mid xxx and i sold it for 6k. Every name is different.

3. However, I also requested names in the distant past and i remember many submissions were not even of the same subject i requested. It's like people were just throwing out names trying to sell regardless. So If I said I wanted two word names with the keywords brand and media alone in it. Somehow people would send names like polioritis, traveltozinzane.com, all kinds of unrelated stuff and nonsense at that.

4. Only Nampros can stop intentionally bad submissions, by actually having a clear consequence. No excuses. For requesters, there's not much we can do...simply know better and and just ignore the post.

I agree with the OP, all the threads won't stop spammers with crappy names, but may stop related domains, my 2 cents.

I guess no one has right to threat any one on the forum. If someone threats you to ban on this forum should be reported immediately.

Ignored every single requester if I got no response after submiting exactly what they ask for, within their budget. My ignore list is huuuuge. They can waste my time only once.

It is because some buyers treat the Sellers in NamePros as beggars. First of all, these buyers do not have manners or courtesy to even reply or acknowledge the names that they receive. Sending our names to these WTB is sheer waste of time. I am writing this because I have been experiencing non-responsive attitudes from the these so called buyers. They think as if they are the kings just because they posted a WTB thread.

send your unwanted rubbish to those buyers & don't take it personal.

The ones that are serious, want your best domain for pennies, don't give it to them.

imo..
