Sometimes there is a fine line between marketing and spamming. However, it is clear that some domainers are not grasping the basic concepts, let alone the subtleties of the trade...

So...
If you are sending a bunch of domain names indiscriminately, you are spamming.
If you are sending a bunch of domain names massively, you are spamming.
If you are sending a bunch of domain names or even one single domain that is not even remotely relevant to the needs of the target/end user, you are spamming.

And if you are a domainer with half a brain you wouldn't spam a fellow domainer right ?
So, spammer, why do you spam me with your domains - that, admittedly, are at least vaguely related to other domains that we own ? Especially when these domains are parked for sale ?
It should be clear that we are domainers, not end users. At least not for these particular domain names.

Don't you resent it when somebody spams you with their domains, when you are trying to sell your own (without spamming everything that moves), but spammers can't read whois properly. Because they are dumb.

Don't get me started on spammers... I think they are bottom feeders and among the lowest ranking creatures on Earth. If they were successful in what they do they wouldn't be spamming.
Desperate feelings call for desperate actions I guess.

Message to spammers: it's not my fault if you are stuck with these names. I'm not Mother Teresa, I won't bail you out.
And spamming for domain names that are still in pending delete is even worse and smacks of misrepresentation and borderline scam.

And if one or several members here feel "targeted", then maybe it's because they are :boink:
 
They're getting lazy, too. I got this one over the weekend:

"Hello, we have many domain for you.

I get spams of domains lists and domain renewal spams.

Sometimes I get a letter in the mail from a registrar, trying to trick me into renewing one of my domains with them for like $35/year.
 
^ What do you mean by tricking you? They merely "suggest" that you should renew the expired domain, a completely normal practice.
 
$35 a year? That's cheap for spammers - some are as high as $200 a year but will give you a great deal - 10 years for $750!!!
