Unresponsive registrars with poor abuse controls (such as - take the domain down after days, and leave the registrant's account up and running so the rest of his stockpiled domains are just fine, and new phish domains get registered by him every other day)...
Suresh, I think that you are being far too generous when you characterize such behavior... which I have also seen and documented, first-hand... as being merely a case of "poor abuse controls". I would instead call it concious, knowing duplicity. I mean really... How many brain cells does it take to understand that you've been asked, this week, to cancel registrations on 50 different domains, all registered by/to account X, and that you were likewise asked to cancel 50 domains last week also, and that these were also registered by/to account X, and likewise, the week before that, and the week before that. How many brain cells must the registrar have in order to grasp that maybe the real problem is account X? (I myself would say "Less than the number necessary to be able to reliably find the bathroom every day.") Regards, rfg
