Any sponsor, vendor, organizer, employee, officer, etc., of a domainer convention, registar, or domain auctioneer should not be allowed to participate in the respective domain auctions for those entities.

The Snapnames situation is sleazy, but really no surprise. The fact that Adam Dicker, a Godaddy VP, bid against clueless TDNAM customers in those TDNAM auction(s) is troubling, but really no surprise. The REAL surprise is that he didn’t get fired. Another REAL surprise is the way the domain industry highlights a creep like Dicker as someone worthy of praise, instead of shunning him for bottom-feeding.

oh lets agree to disagree on this that nobody cares, why I have read the FDA cares and as the FDA cares? So does the pharma industry.
As more of these issues boil over because the whol lot of you see yourselves above the law with respect to the business ehtics your crowd do not have?Then there will be ecer more class action suits by everyday folk who arent buying and flipping names bit rather are everday folk earning a living the old fashioned way, byt goods and services they provide who you damage in examples like what we have come to learn yet again? Hre another ditty of others who care?

Have you been denied or are you being denied access to your domain names that you have registered at RegisterFly.com?

Have you lost domain names despite attempting to renew them through RegisterFly.com or transfer them elsewhere?

Have you been charged for services that were not delivered by RegisterFly.com?

Was the domain contact and/or ownership information changed without your permission to either RegisterFly.com or someone else entirely?

@DomainInvestor Should I assume you were referring to me ? I don’t run any conferences. Never have . . . and don’t plan on it either. I think you are right though it is a bit tough for an organizer to meet everyone at a big show. There’s plenty of opps for the attendee to meet organizers after speeches, cocktail parties, etc. though.

uh? excuse me we arent all big deal domainers like the rest of you here, some of us are just looking to get our companies going and the guy at snapnames who did all this?
Well he may have clipped me, but it wont happen again.
I will continue to do things the ol fashioned way, hard work,long hours, hones days pay, word of mouth, and ya’ll can hang out with a common pick pocket from snapnames?

I’m surprised I have heard no one mention the FTC yet. Seems to me they are the appropriate agency to go to, since this is a matter of unfair trade practices.

g33k diva,

Don’t assume I am running specifically to the defense of Rick S.

I have attended a number of domain conferences. If you ignore the conference manager (past organizers – Ron Sheridan, Jay w., Ammar, Donny, Jothan, Stephen, Adam S., Frank M, etc), they don’t have the time to seek you out and talk to you.

I have found Rick and Howard very cordial.
If I spoke to them they took the time to talk.

Brian is very knowledgeable about domains.
But, he has had an attitude about Rick for years. If someone mentions Rick on DS, for years Brian was there to add more fuel to the fire.
Maybe, Brian’s dislike is projected when he attends Traffic?
