Chris and Ryan and Raymond, don't even think about proposing a subdomain list. LOL! ;-)
What's the problem with this idea ? It would be only one level above the real host, so for say claranet.de you would have to consider www.claranet.de and xyzzy.claranet.de, but you would ignore www.xyzzy.claranet.de or more.levels.xyzzy.claranet.de
Then if I start to spamvertize my site you catch me without hitting any other user.claranet.de (let alone www.claranet.de)
Assuming that my ISP doesn't neeed weeks to cancel my account after I started to spam the xyzzy entry will expire soon.
It's about time ICANN cracked down on rogue registrars.
I'll believe it when I see it. These registrars pay ICANN's budget, don't they ?
There will always be disagreement about that optimization point. That is natural. (It's also a PITA.)
Sometimes your criteria appear to be a bit obscure for me. Of course some people may love a "joke of the day" mail - that's okay, if they like it they won't report it as spam.
But others don't like any unsolicited jokes, and they would report it as spam. In that case the joke-of-the-day site _is_ spamming, and it's okay to list them. Even if they also have some real fans with a "legit" interest in their joke of the day. In that case you can't avoid a collateral damage, whatever you do. Bye, Frank
