status-duplicate Why domain buyers have so many threats

[domain12345]

Seeing so many posts in WTB section where domain requesters are threatning reporting and banning for not sending their kind of names....

Many posts are not even clear...why so much anger in the marketplace ? LOL..lets discuss

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

Why should requesters get a pass? If one side has to meet some standard then so should requesters.

I am tired of the supposed big budget threads that want your good names for $25– that’s deception 101.

Also they never buy and their number never goes up because smart people don’t give their good names away.

If there was a mandatory minimum that could eradicate some of the cheapos posting like say minimum $50.

In defense of people not sending replies to your PM— you realize a request thread garners hundreds of responses? Not just the small fraction that post pm sent. What reply would you like —not what I am looking for? Not getting a reply is a reply. You are taking it way to personally.

Another possibility for requesters that I am sure some people take advantage of to eliminate spam is “ignore future messages from this person” in your inbox.

Not sending replies? I mentioned nothing about that. I only send people actually send replies but the names have nothing to do with what i requested. Not sure what's personal here? maybe you're misunderstanding me?

As far as people who make outrageous request, I do believe there should be some way to redflag these. But i'm just not sure how yet. People can post a name for 1 million dollars...it's frustrating but how do we fix this? Maybe when they spend all their money and two years making no sales? maybe that's the remedy.

I like your idea about the messaging...stopping any future messages from people who willfully send names that do not in anyway relate to the request.

Hello,

We understand that there are multiple issues surrounding Buyer Requests on both the buying and selling side of it. We, including members, are all trying to figure out ways to improve the process. Buyer Requests serves a real need, which is why it is so popular, but with that level of popularity comes a lot of issues, too.

While members shouldn't be threatening each other, it does make sense for buyers to remind sellers of the rules and that they will be reported if they do not follow the buyer's criteria. However, when reports are received, a moderator will ultimately decide whether a rule violation has occurred. If the buyer's criteria is vague or ambiguous, then it will not be deemed a rule violation even if the buyer says it does not meet their criteria; the buyer decides what they write as the criteria, but the moderators decide what it means and whether it is a rule violation, not the reporter.

Let's continue brainstorming solutions:

I once suggested let's have a bargain bin of domains wanted threads a separate area so if people are looking to give you a $1 to $100, keep them there, people with real budgets that are larger, have a separate section so then some would not be triggered by, Hey peeps looking for first name.coms $20 to $100. I mean no one is selling a first name .com for anything close to that, unless we are playing the oh "technically" in a language that was spoken 1000 years ago it was a first name.

We hope the filters in Buyer Requests serves this purpose:

• Filter By Budget: Above $5,000 | Above $1,000 | Above $500 | Above $100 | Above $50 | Above $1 | Show All

Maybe for Domains Wanted threads there needs to be increased requirements.

We are always open to adding new rules and requirements for the Buyer Requests section.

Please share any suggestions in the following thread:
