Well, current approach guarantees you’re getting screwed over. Any improvement is beneficial unless it blocks a better approach?


You're looking at this from the perspective of a haunted domain owner. And from that perspective your idea is fine.

A good technique to evaluate ideas though is to try and view it from different perspectives.

In this case from the owner of a non-haunted domain. Can you see any potential problem with your idea when viewed from that perspective?

Now, if there are potential problems, consider the relative sizes of the two groups. Do the benefits to one outweigh harm to the other?

This technique can be used every day with pretty much any idea.


The parents rules seemed to indicate only reevaluating the status of a haunted domain. I see nothing about evaluating a normal domain.


(Therefore, this has a one-way function of improving the status of haunted domains and why I think anything is better than nothing unless it blocks a better strategy.)
