I just realised that when ICANN stop tasting it is going to effect
Companies likes Snapnames quite a lot, is it not , as they
will have to be careful they dont use too wide a trawler system
or will catch a load of rubbish they have to pay for and may
not sell.?. Am I wrong on this ?.

Snapnames was around well before domain tasting was mainstream. I don't see a change in ICANN policy effecting them much.

they catch domains that they have orders placed for...... in other words you must submit a "request"

snapnames doesn't register each and every deleted domain name daily :)

no order= no domain

If you entered fgihwhywrmnjtumtum.com into Snapnames (assuming it
was about to drop as if was not registered you would end up with it)
and then say 2 days before drop date you changed your mind and removed
it then Snapnames would catch it anyways and see if it had traffic
and was worth keeping. With the new system of no tasting it
will mean they would have to manually check domains to
see if was good name before regging. In other words they
cannot check the traffic without buying the domain in full.

Can't they just check the traffic during the delete period? They have basically one month to do it.

I'm not up on this but is the end to tasting mean:

1) No refunds whatsoever. You pay for a domain, it's your's for a year.
2) Partial refunds - you can drop the domain within 5 days but only get a partial refund from the registration fee

I think it will mean 1, no refunds ,but then again maybe ICANN
will simply give Registrars (inc Snapnames) a small quota per year
to correct errors etc but for us end users it for certain will mean
the END of partial refunds and we either pay in full or dont reg

Pray tell me gemsergio, how does one check the traffic on a domain
one does not own ?? (apart from stats on websites etc)

He politely asked to share something he does not know. No need to be abrasive like that. Show some decorum and be courteous.
