Pro:

Totally understand why feature was removed in the first place because of harassment and whatnot but just wish it was a little easier. But that may be because I was bulk looking for names and not a single name XD.

I don't think "stricter policies" are the answer personally. Like I said on the SB, plenty of people (myself included) just don't update their showroom regularly. Those messages are often completely out of date. Similarly, feelings about certain names change over time and what someone didn't want to sell five years ago, they may part with willingly now. I also know categories change constantly in showrooms and just recently I moved a bunch from one "not selling" to "meh, maybe" category because I had changed my mind about them, but I hadn't even remembered they existed until I checked because of this clearing. They were probably in there for the better part of a decade, most of that time not actually "not for sale." No one can possibly know if that's the case for someone so I think coming down on people for asking about a name that's "not for sale" isn't reasonable.

Are there any privacy control features that could be put in place to help alleviate concerns around unwanted, unsolicited contacts? What privacy controls would they be?

Could there be a 'special' category of a Showroom made where names would be unsearchable (except for the typical way users search now) so that users could avoid getting unwanted Rmails for certain names?
