How to Be a Respected Forum Membe
Do This:
- Share actionable advice (e.g., “How I sold this domain for $5k”).
- Price domains fairly (e.g., “Asking $1,500 – here’s NameBio comps”).
Don’t Do This (Or We’ll Notice):
“This domain is worth $10k because Estibot said so!”
- Bot appraisals are mocked thereat and on ShitBio.
“You’re an idiot for offering $500!”
- Toxic replies to newbies may go viral – not the fame you want.
“Buy now – Elon Musk needs TeslaAI.org!”
- Trademark squatting claims get forwarded to UDRP lawyers.
Accountability in the Domaining Community
While we don’t stalk forums, blatant scams or harassment (e.g., threatening newbies, spamming $50k garbage domains) often go viral. If your behavior earns a spot on ShitBio:
- Publicly apologize in the original forum thread.
- Adjust your practices (drop the greed, educate yourself).
- Email us with proof – we’ll consider removing the critique.
Note: GDPR doesn’t protect public harassment. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
