My thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=70566 has been moved to the domain apprasials forums. But the post is nothing about what a domain is worth I wouldn't mind, but posts in the there get hardly any replies
Well you're right, I put it in the buy/sell/trade forum. If people give me a idea I will be selling the offering there anyway....That was the place I figured I'd get the right answer, or the place where it's most on topic...
It was in B/S/T *shrug* This has come up before and the official response was that Appriasals went into the Appraisal forum I don't care where it is but last time it came up a poster accused Mods of not doing their job for not moving them Its hard to please all of the people all of the time
Sure I understand your job is a hard one...Link sales would be more appropriate? That was the post is about and what people would be discussing. And what the end result will be based on that discussion...
Like I said, I really don't care but people were complaining that there were a lot of threads where people weren't actually selling links, just asking for advice, so they were moved to appraisals. It seems like either category would technically fit, maybe I can just get Shawn to add links to the appraisal description, would that work?
Well as per the description it's the wrong forum. So that'd fix that for future issues. My main beef like i said is the amount of traffic in the forum which you can't do much about
I believe most traffic comes from being top in New Posts (though bumping is not allowed - don't even think about it ). Maybe indeed there should be a subforum in B/S/T called 'Pre-Sales Appraisal' without specifying what it is so it can be domains, sites, businesses, services etc.
I can understand the frustration moderation must bring. Frankly I hate it. I have a a moderately busy forum and to be honest 'problems' bore me. My argument stands that it's in the wrong forum, maybe this will lead to a new one being created. However from past experience MR DP quite rightly only spawns a new forum if there is the interest is there. Either way, no replies to my thread, can anyone recommend somewhere else on the web I could post this and get a legible correct answer? That's all I want, if the dp forums can't help then I'm lost for answers.... I have my own thoughts but I'd LOVE some second opinions.
PM Honey and Mystikmedia (Chris) Both buy a LOT of links and would probably be more then happy to give an opinion, especially Chris who may turn around and make you an offer
Ok ok. Someone is definately trying to wind me up here. So my latest thread has again been moved. Again to a catagory I find inappropriate based on the category description and the content of my thread. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=70961 I'm not buying or selling links - that's what that forum is for (according to the description.) Apparantly anything your heart desires can be posted in general content. But not my heart. I don't mean harp on about this but it really narks me out when my posts seem to be moved to inappropriate categories. - Which is the only reason I can conclude people are moving them, to annoy me after my infrequent objections. Of course it's all opinion, who feels what goes where is based on them. And again I understand the moderation process must be hard. But I honestly feel I'm being singled out. I give up. Perhaps it's just me. Perhaps I'm paranoid. [Oh and thanks YFS1, I did pm honey and myst and it seems I'm getting somewhere re: my last post]
A thread about sitewide link sales seems appropriate in the Buy/Sell/Trade -> Link Sales forum to be honest. General Chat is for anything that doesn't belong in any other forum.
Well sure, all I'm saying is last time it was "must be 100% by the book" and this time it isn't. You can't please all the people all of the time.
Moving threads ultimately is the judgment of an individual. There is no way to absolutely define what goes where 100% of the time without any grey area. If there was a way to do that, you could just do it with code and there would be no need for human moderators. Ultimately different moderators are going to have differing opinions about what goes where.
