Whatever you do Ladies and gentlemen, if you post your domains in the Marketplace section, DO NOT for heavens sake feel tempted to bump your threads to the top of the page, if you do so, you'll receive Infraction Points for each time apparently if you do it.

I only just found this out, and received a whole bundle of them all in one go, one off only, from getting a complete ban from the forum altogether, which seems a little over the top but there you go.

I have requested too of DigitalPoint that they do something about the Domaining Marketplace section, as the single category there absolutely no way can it handle the huge number of fresh domain names being offered for sale.

Ideally it needs to be split off into sub sections just as they are on many other forums, which would allow more new threads to stay on page one for longer and have the benefit of more people then being able to see the offerings up for trade under offers, buy or sell.

In my opinion, hoping to bundle all of this into one category is absolutely hopeless, as threads disappear so fast off the page into oblivion, it's not even funny.

If DP took a page or a leaf out of NamePros, or DomainState, or Encron, or DNF - they would see instantly how not only this problem could be resolved, but too it might just help everyones domaining efforts to be that much more successful and too would give buyers as well, including developers and webmasters here at DP more opportunity to see some of the names on offer.

So far, it appears that my recommendations on this have totally been ignored, which is I think, a tad odd, to say the slightest, indeed, one is almost frightened of breathing on this forum for fear of receiving yet further Infraction Points.

Will DP see that some members here are actually trying to make some points for the overall good of the entire community and this silly handing out of infraction points for such minor 'offences' is not only childish, but also portrays them themselves in rather a bad light.

DP should be working with their good users here and listening to the needs of community members to help make DP not just enjoyable and safer for everyone, but too cutting back and taking action on the real scam and con artists that seem to abound here.

This I would think would be the commonsense approach.

No doubt though, they'll take one look at this thread and instantly ban me, which is the final irony.

It's daft that instead of listening to community members and perhaps their worthwhile suggestions, instead they take these as a threat and ban or wave a big mod stick at you for even daring to make any mention of how some improvements, might be made.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

All of you, enjoy your domaining, remember what I said about not bumping threads and have a wonderful weekend.
