Proposal to change the rules regarding domain auctions

The current rule requires that the domain be 6 months old before we can sell it.
I suggest changing this rule to 2 months, because after two months we can transfer the domain regularly via EPP code. 6 months may keep it from running too many auctions, but this is a forum and it is in a way content and keeps it moving.
Since the changes to this rule:
We can sell our domain faster with valid EPP code
Someone can get a good future name for the company by buying domains
There will be more auctions, which is in a way the content of the forum and does not harm it
I made the topic at the suggestion of raindog, so that the community could discuss my proposal.
Thanks! ✌️

The history here is that were opening a lot of domain-flipping threads, so we put in rules to cut it down. However, that problem was some years ago IIRC. We also put the one thread every 10 days per user rule in place.
Also idiots tend to think that some domain they registered 2 months ago is going to yield them a huge return like it's still 1996.
I really don't care - thought we'd get the community pulse.
I do think we should keep a minimum 60-day rule in place.
So what say ye:
Shouldnt u be banned already? Surprised u are still here
How about we extend offer to one thread every 15 days and domain to 9 moths?
Do we actually have a lack of offer threads? No! There’s way too damn many and sometimes, there’s more offer on the front page than standard normal posts. ( @AlwaysSkint did I use the correct than?)
Maybe even create a limit of “post to offer thread ratio”. Gotta create x amount of non shitty no “wht” styled post each period in order to be eligible for the next offer thread creation?
Or maybe if you actively participate within the community you get x post per month and if you only care about your company and your spam, you get y post per month.
There’s a currency that funds and fuels everything. Some places charges extra money for extra privilege. Community involvement is LE currency. Kinda tired of seeing people treating this place like a market place only and not really taking part in the “community”.
Being able to post offer should be reward and not obligation.
You want this community to thrive, give people who actually helps and contributes to the community better reward vs those, who only comes here to spam. Whaddya say?
LEB could be the no participation required marketplace
Things are great as it is.
I concur.
Indeed, I don't think that a change to the rules is needed.
the first thing you do after being unbanned is to break the rules?
Friendly advice, adhere to the rules, that's it.
Just because your thread was closed for violating community rules, doesn't mean it's time to review the rules and consider your proposal.
You're beyond fortunate to be allowed back by JB and yet again you have violated the rules in just a matter of days.
bro are you intentionally changing ur avi to catch attention cuz it's working
i've noticed like 5 changes in a week lol
Sorry mate, just messing around with GIMP to kill time.
Personally I like it the current way, for now you are asking for changing this 6 months to 2 months, who knows next you would ask for lifting the minimum bid of $7 rule?
i liked the yellow one that said DP in it personally
I'll toy around with this one and see how it turns out
Will it be the next LowEndDrama?
No
He's free to run another round of auction that doesn't comply to the rules since he's currently got a ban exemption ticket.
I've never seen someone who has been evading bans this many times allowed back, breaks the rules again and is then able to propose for rule changes
I like that. Drop it to 60 days with 10 days waiting to post. 👏🏻
@snt
Who are you?
@thedp
I don’t think my violations of the rules harmed anyone. I’m not a thief, I’m not a deadpooled provider, I’m not a spammer. I don't know what problem you have with me, jealousy? A complex of students from the first bench (because they didn't like me either)? Tell me.
I'm not hiding behind a 3 letters nickname with scarry movie avatar, everyone sees who I am by typing my nick + .com
Even a lot of providers from this forum benefit from me because I pay for VMs that they are idle.
Someone's got a good domain portfolio, a good project and a real life? Let's kill him on the forum.
Does anyone asked @saragoldfart if this new proposal is good?
I like the current rule. Don't change it.
Sure it doesn't harm anyone but rules are rules and if people want to stick around they should comply. You were made aware of this several times.
Jealous? Of course! You should also ask every provider if they're jealous of other providers making their presence here and then allowed to break the rules - they'd be jealous too, right providers?
Whereas the spamming part, I'm not sure, I don't know what you're doing besides the obvious. I don't have a problem with you really, I mean it's not like I know you, personally. The problem I have is with people who don't go by the rules and I'm pretty sure other providers and community members would share the same sentiment.
The fact that you kept on creating threads looking for "appraisals" for your domains and randomly mentioning your domain(s) is also astonishing. I can't be bothered to look but there should be more. But yeah, just because the rules represents some kind of restrictions, you then try to go around it by hiding your intentions behind such threads, fishing for offers and/or potentially interested buyers.
Point is, I have no issues with you, period, but I have issues with people going against the rules when most of the other community members have been around complying to them.
Face it, you're a repeated offender, you have been in and out evading bans, with what, 5 accounts at least, which resulted in, yet again, a ban. Can't recall which accounts but if it's ever required, I'll go look them up.
You have been here longer than I have so you should be very well be aware of the rules, unless you've deliberately ignored them, then that's something else altogether and @raindog308 shouldn't have entertained you, @jbiloh shouldn't have unbanned you, because you'd still make it back with other accounts and doing the same things all over again.
Oh for God's sake...
Yes, poor poor pitiful you.
But they are still violations. And going by other comments on this thread they have been multiple despite warnings.
Er, "those violations" would be my guess.
Your post here seems to be saying:
Maybe people will like you more if you wind them up less? Just a thought.
