Country: | A call for LESS "for sale" domains here!!!!! Please I use to come here and was able to learn something from time to time. It was pretty easy to discuss many topics etc.
Now this forum is simply FULL of just domains for sale (95% crappy or end user priced as well).
If you think about it... You "could" list about 300-330 domains a Month. One domain per section, each day... Offers Wanted, Fixed above $100, Fixed below $100, Adult, IDN, etc.
I put in my vote for not allowing A Member, more then 10 domains TOTAL Per Month of any kind. 10 is still a great deal of domains for sale, with how many members are here.
I would also like to hear what other members think? I just went threw nearly 1,200 posts that were "new" since I was hear last and found 1 interesting. Almost all the rest were For Sale Posts...

I can understand Adam wouldn't want to cut traffic, but I think Quality is better then Quantity.

Country: | This is a business forum. Why should we not be allowed to post new domains for sale each day? If you want to discuss certain issues, there are specific forums to do this. |

Country: | Definetly agree with Acro. 95% of the reason is the LLLL.com - after the buy out there are now thousands of crappy lllls flirting around flying from hand to hand - nobody wants to keep them, but everybody wants to make a buck. Whenever my predicted "crash" of crappy llll.coms happens, the flood of llll.com will be even more present, but then should slowly dissolve.

is there a way to put a particular sub-forum / section to ignore? that would sort it out i guess.

DNF$: 8,911 Location: MobiLand...where it's cold as hell.
Country: | I rarely post any domains for sale.
I rarely offer any for sale.
I have made perhaps 5-6 threads in the past week for sales of domains. One did sell.
Staying within the established guidelines I think is acceptable.
Outside the established guidelines is not acceptable.
When I come on to DNF, I go to unread posts. So anything posted or updated since my last visit appears. If it is a ton of sales threads, then there is nothing I can do about that other than changing my viewing options...like going to controversial to check up on the lastest chapter in the perpetual global warming thread or the ccTLD .mobi to find out if it is still a ccTLD.
We all have choices. Some are just better options than others.
For me, the nuisance is the never ending, looking for more threads that go on for two months or better.
Hell, we are all looking for more. 5 years from now when an LLLLLLLLLLLL.com is considered premium and someone finally offers $10K, some of these auctions, offers, or sales threads may actually have a resolution

This forum is probably 80% buying and selling. This forum is probably the best place to buy and sell domains. I don't think too many sales thread in Unread posts section is a valid argument to change the policy for people to be able to Buy/Sell. I see a similar policy on NP forum which makes it harder for people to Buy/Sell.
I think the Under $100 section is not as effective, people will just post in Offers wanted or another section. Also the make an offer and fixed price section could be combined. Maybe there can be a Icon used on Threads to show Fixed price or Make an Offer.
edit: Maybe there can be a limit of Sales threads for users with under 10 or 20 itrader. This would make more threads for active/established members. This will make less members spamming and posting ridiculous prices.
