Domain Name Marketplace (Premium, Brandable & Aged SEO Domains) — Official Rules, Member Safety & Platform Protection Guidelines

Welcome to Domain Name Marketplace (Premium, Brandable & Aged SEO Domains). To protect both our members (buyers, sellers, engineers, and webmasters) and the Syndipath platform from fraud, malware, copyright abuse, and low-quality spam, every thread and reply posted in this board must strictly comply with the following rules. Opening a thread or conducting a trade in this section constitutes binding acceptance of this charter.

⚡ I. The 4 Golden Rules of Domain Name Marketplace (Premium, Brandable & Aged SEO Domains) (Read Before Posting)

• 🌐 Mandatory Registrar, Expiry & Renewal Disclosure: Every domain thread MUST list the current Registrar (Namecheap, Porkbun, Cloudflare, GoDaddy), Expiration Date, and standard Annual Renewal Cost.
• 🔍 Honest Aged/SEO Metrics (DR/DA/Backlinks): Sellers advertising 'High-DR / Aged SEO Domains' must disclose if the domain has a Google manual action, Chinese/Japanese spam history, or fake 301 redirect inflation.
• ⚡ Transfer Method Clarity: Specify whether transfer is via instant internal Registrar Push (free/fast) or Auth/EPP Code transfer, and note any 60-day ICANN lock restrictions.
• 🔒 DNS TXT Ownership Verification: For domains listed above $300, sellers must add a `syndicate-verify=` TXT record upon moderator or buyer request.

📋 II. Section Scope, Proof & Technical Verification Standards

Authorized Scope: Buying and selling premium `.COM`, `.AI`, `.IO`, `.NET`, `.ORG` domains, aged high-authority SEO domains with clean backlink profiles, short 3L/4L brandables, and Wanted-to-Buy (WTB) domain requests.

• Verification Rule #1: Never list a domain you do not currently control in your own registrar account (no brokering third-party domains without written authorization).
• Verification Rule #2: Screenshots of Ahrefs/Semrush/Majestic metrics must show the actual root domain metrics (not a temporary 301 redirect metric trick).
• Verification Rule #3: In WTB (Domain Wanted) threads, buyers must state their exact budget range (`$50 - $500`, `$1,000+`), preferred TLDs, and niche criteria.
• Mandatory Sub-Forum & Title Clarity: Select the exact matching Sub-Forum tag when creating your thread and write a clear, specific title (vague clickbait titles like "LOOK HERE FAST!!" or "URGENT HELP" are edited or removed).
• Thread Bumping Policy: Use the official ⬆️ Bump Thread button according to your daily member quota (Standard: 1/24h, VIP/Pro: 4/day, or Sponsored Pin). Replying "bump / up / still available" repeatedly to your own thread is prohibited.

🛡️ III. Member Financial & Technical Protection Protocol

• Use the On-Chain Escrow Vault (`/escrow`) for all domain transfers: Escrow verifies the registrar push or EPP transfer completion before releasing USDT to the seller.
• Selling trademark-infringing phishing domains (e.g., `paypa1-security.com`) is strictly prohibited and results in immediate termination.
• Anti-Impersonation & On-Site Verification Rule: Scammers frequently create fake Telegram/Discord accounts mimicking trusted forum members. Always require an On-Site Private Message (`/messages`) or On-Site Live Chat confirmation before sending a single dollar. Trades conducted purely off-site without on-site verification are at your own risk.
• Mandatory On-Chain Escrow Vault (`/escrow`): Whenever buying or selling domains, websites, source code, accounts, or development services, use the Official On-Chain Escrow Vault. Refusing to accept official forum Escrow when requested by a buyer is grounds for immediate thread suspension.
• iTrader Feedback Honesty: Mutual iTrader ratings (+1 / 0 / -1) must reflect real transactions tied to a valid Marketplace thread. Retaliatory false feedback or self-rating via alt accounts results in permanent termination.

🚨 IV. Site Protection, Legal Compliance & Zero-Tolerance Prohibitions

To protect the platform's infrastructure, legal standing, and search engine reputation, the following activities are strictly prohibited across all boards:

• 1. Zero Stolen Data, Carding & Financial Fraud: No stolen credit cards, hacked bank/PayPal/Stripe accounts, carded cloud/ad accounts, leaked personal PII databases, or forged government KYC documents.
• 2. Zero Malware, Stealers, Drainers & Botnets: No uploading or linking to info-stealers, RATs, crypto wallet drainers, ransomware, obfuscated malicious scripts, or DDoS booter/stresser services.
• 3. Zero Nulled / Warez / DMCA Infringement: Do not distribute cracked commercial software, nulled WordPress themes/plugins, or pirated courses that violate copyright law.
• 4. Zero Doxxing, Blackmail & Defamation: Never publish another member's private personal information, client domains (site outing), or unverified extortion accusations.
