Not a big issue here. But for phishing we've generally cancelled the account and let the domain expire in its own time. Most are still to expire of course. Since most of the domains have trademarks in them, I don't think one can do anything useful with them, and the phished companies don't want to own them in case it creates confusion. I doubt they'll have any traffic by the time they are parked. As for other content related abuse, depends what it is. Obviously a big difference between stuff that might be in error, or vary with jurisdiction, and material that is clearly just fraudulent. _______________________________________________ domains-gen mailing list [email protected] http://discuss.tucows.com/mailman/listinfo/domains-gen
