Actually I was meaning the picture of the pepsi can coming out of a guys ass. :1orglaugh

I didn't see the Santa Clause whois post that would indeed indicate that this was the actual reason resp. their legal ground but the fact remains that a little earlier you posted it'd be alright to do what godaddy "you knew the risk you took the chances" did on the sole grounds of ref spamming, Mr SMARTASS

This is an excerpt from the above report stating they can pull accounts for fraudulent whois information.



Both observations together lead to the common conclusion that the Task Force's recommendations can only be first steps towards a future WHOIS policy environment. That future WHOIS policy environment will have to be designed with a renewed focus on enforceability. In particular, this implies that the future policy environment will have to directly address major issues left open at this point of time - such as registrants' privacy. Relying upon non-enforcement of policy instead is not an option.


Read the last part again for those who don't understand:

Relying upon non-enforcement of policy instead is not an option.

the account wouldn't have been closed for fake whois info, I was still contactable... just as long as it looks like a real person they have no way of knowing whether that person actually exists or not.

for the dumbasses who just don't get it (JFPdude), the point is not to moralize about whether spamming SEs is right or wrong, the point is that anyone can get anyone else's godaddy account closed just by making a complaint about it.

assuming he sent the same email to godaddy that he did to namecheap - he doesn't include any logs, any IPs, or any proof that it was me doing the ref spamming, and there isn't an actual link from my domains to his if you actually look at it - they just took his word for it and took my shit.

what is ironic is that his url is useless and just got caught up in the churn...

haha yeah I'm the dumbass ... who's account was closed for spamming search engines and fraudulent whois ?

I just checked all my sites are up. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

oppsssssssss

Yep..it seems that whenever someone wants to bitch about godaddy.com..they've done SOMETHING, no matter how inocuous it seems to them, that precipitated problems.

I've not had one problem with them for the last 5 years.
And I'm talking over 100 domains there.

You assume godaddy never contacted the host of the complaining domain and got the server logs... or that this domain is not using a godaddy name server which recorded every hit you sent to them and how...or that godaddy didn't do a trace route on your webpage links...or that godaddy didn't do a 2 min look up on alexia for that domain and see you pounding it in the "surfer also visited these sites section"...or they didn't google the complaining domain and click the "advance search" and choose "find pages that link to this page"...etc...etc...

There's a million ways to cheat but 5 million ways for you to get caught.

I have heard of some of the nasty things that they do.

50 reasons to go with namecheap.com

I have heard as well so many negative things about this guys.

Now that's what I'm talking about.. great idea.
