How to Be a Respected Forum Membe

Do This:

  • 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 newbiesspamming $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.
