    Hi

    I've noticed here on DP warez domains frequently pop up for sale, true enough there will be some legitimate uses for them but on the whole doesn't allowing warez domains in a sense, promote the activity?

    Allowing these domains to be sold is only encouraging people who own warez sites in my opinion it would be better on the whole if DP banned these type of domains from being advertised. Most other sites don't allow these domains dp shouldn't be any different, it certainly wouldn't affect the forum activity in an way.

    Be interesting to read your views on this.

    I agree but there are many things that should not be allowed:

    Currency exchanges

    eBay account selling

    VCC selling

    MySpace account selling

    The list goes on>>>>

    Should we shut down ADULT domain sales as well, as that promotes whores?

    I mean, if they dis-allow one kind there are all sorts that some people don't like............

    I don't think you should shut down selling any domains. People can buy them and change the content....

    I gotta agree here if the domain is wareza.com well it's pretty obvious what's happening here. Considering distribution of copyrighted material in most countries is illegal...

    Well shutting down sales of adult sites is completely different to warez domain sales, I do see your point sundaybrew, but in reality what are the majority of warez domains gunna be used for? I for one wouldn't miss them, I've never bought or sold a warez domain and never intend to.

    No, I don't think this should be stopped. Go on eBay, there about 1,001 different things that I could say shouldn't be allowed to be sold, but they're allowed.

    Just deal with it and grit your teeth.

    So, what are you saying?

    Becuase ebay doesn't control their responsibilities than no one should. It's a matter of doing wrong things. warez is simply illegal, and pretty much a real crooked type of site.

    It's a responsibility to keep your website clean. I don't care how much money I make from my sites. I have a respect for the responibility to take care of my own sites.

    Doesnt bother me terribly much tbh but I just thought it would be worth mentioning, as i said it's not allowed on other forums, and yes I agree there is plenty of junk on ebay that shouldnt be sold, like 1k templates for $0.99 rubbish, which is all freely available templates anyway.

    A very good point, it's the point i'm trying to make, warez is simply illegal, no if's or buts and if it can be stopped it should. :)

    Right, I never said that no one should control their responsibilities, and eBay do pretty well actually, although I can imagine it is hard with a website of it's stature. You have gone off and said something totally different to what I said. What I am saying is Warez DOMAINS will always exist, so what is the point in banning them, someone could easily transform a Warez domain into something different. Why don't you read replies properly in future?

    1) No one really cares what you think should be banned or not.
    2) What somebody likes, someone else doesn't. If you don't like it, don't look at it.
    3) You obviously don't have anything better to do than coming with topics like this.

    Your opinion about other sites disallowing this is absolutely irrelevant because DP doesn't have to do everything the way others do.

    This thread is just one of those threads whose creator thinks or at least it looks like he/she thinks he/she has mandate, ultimate wisdom and what's most important - the right opinion to come up with ideas about changing something considerably - and tells others it wouldn't affect anything.

    This post is not meant to be offensive, it's just clear opinion.

    This is a tough one, obviously allowing selling of Warez domains doesnt give the right impression, but where does it stop?

    I think that names that are clearly illegal shouldn't be allowed to be sold here. The problem you get is when it is illegal in one country and not in another - for example online gambling in the US.

    This is one of those issues that requires common sense, I dont think one rule could cover every situation.

    Warez and pirated software is one that is pretty clear worldwide.

    If peoples opinions weren't relevent to dp staff or the owner then there wouldn't be a suggestions and feedback section.

    I agree with holy, you can't stop things which are illegal in one country and not in another but things which are illegal worldwide are different.

    For someone who has made 6 posts and not been here long this is pretty rude. Maybe people dont care what you have to say either and you obviously have nothing better to do that make unhelpfull replies.

    Suggestions & Feedback section is - as the name says - for suggestions and feedback. You started discussion also (and there's General Chat section BTW).

    Problem is, as I pointed before, you're obviously one of those people who come up with so-called great idea, but they clearly do not see the big picture.

    Another problem is, warez is not illegal worldwide as you're trying to convince us. And the main problem is the fact you want to ban something related to domains, which is not warez and therefore this thread is made up.

    So what do you think i'm trying to do here lol? i'm making a suggestion.

    Name a country warez is legal in...in 99% of countries it IS illegal. a warez domain IS related to warez because its a warez domain what would the majority of warez domains be used for?

    How on earth can the thread be made up? that post didnt make much sense to me tbh.

    Obviously, you didn't read or didn't understand the last sentence of that given reply. Another thing is, I didn't quote anybody there, therefore I was replying on thread creators' first post, therefore I wasn't talking to you. Another thing is, your message is out of topic (so is this). And last thing is, the fact I made 6 posts is totally irrelevant because it doesn't mean anything. I'm not one of those forum spammers who post variations on "PM me details" only/mainly. I mainly read and search and I post only when I feel/think it's necessary.
