I'm sure there are ways of them proving that they own the domain - changing the WhoIs to show it is for sale here, changing one of the DNS (4th etc.) to FOR.SALE.AT.DNF etc..?
Now - I agree, for easier sales and better transparency, people should keep accurate WhoIs information but some people are afraid of getting spammed, etc..
I've received extremely few phone calls (and it was insults because I was "competing" with another site)
I do get spam - gMail has a great spam filter (don't worry, I use another email address as the registrar contact). |
It's already being done at other forums, so the issue of whether it CAN be done is moot. It can. Also, users can use the (R)eport function for posts with domains with bogus registrations.
