Hi Piotr,
Specifically: forcing people to add an abuse-c as a matter of ticking a checkbox leads to not-working or ignored abuse email boxes. And I rather have no abuse-c than an ignored one - it is a clear signal and leads to much better use of a reporters time.
This argument could be easily extended by making it more general: forcing people to add any contact including e-mail or phone number could lead to kind of garbage. Yet, noone oppose to have ORGANISATION, ROLE and PERSON objects in the database.
I completely agree, it could be extended. In fact you have a vast range of data, from absolutely essential to completely wasteful. What you don't have is consensus on where to put the abuse-c on that range. The usefulness of no data also tends to vary with the intended use and actual use of the data consumer. best, Gilles -- Fondation RESTENA - DNS-LU 2, avenue de l'Université LU-4365 Esch-sur-Alzette tel: +352.4244091 fax: +352.422473
