Thread closed - why?

[domainbear]

Can someone please tell me why my appraisal thread was closed?

I am brand new to this great forum, so I want to know what I have done wrong...

[Melly]

You didn't include a domain in the title I am guessing. Who knows.

[domainbear]

Ok, that is the only reason?!

read the rules - title must be included in all boards for sales, app, etc

[Melly]

I don't know I didn't look at your post but that is usually the case. All I can offer is read the rules. Some of the staff here gets slap happy and closes thread for unknown reasons.

[Mark Talbot]

I think everyone here does that a couple of times early on.
No biggie really once you find out the procedure.

I have been there myself.

I am not sure I understand you. So what you are saying, the reason is I must have atleast one domain name in the title, even if it is a portfolio I want appraised?

[Melly]

You have to include at least one domain in the title.

[Gerry]

For appraisals, best to just feature a name, not a portfolio.

Plus, as others have pointed out, read the rules first and put complete domain name in title.

Rules. Rules are rules. If it says include domain name then include domain name.

Forget portfolio appraisals. No one is going to take the time to appraise each and every name.

Imagine if no one posted a domain in any of the titles. None.

You would then have to enter every thread to look for the name(s) or the topic being presented.

No one, including you I suppose, wants to have to spend all their time on the forum having to open every single thread to find a name even worthy of consideration. All the cctld's or extensions you are not even interested in...you'd have to look at all the piles of crap to find anything worth a second look.

Yeah, rules are rules...but common sense prevails.

You don't have to IMAGINE what would happen if people stopped listing the domain names in the title; just go to namepros.com

it becomes an ugly race to the bottom.
