What makes NetSol decide to delete a domain if it has incorrect whois? I mean I got an e-mail from them a while back requesting that I update my contact details....do people send NetSol e-mails complaining about incorrect whois on a domain or something?
 
does that mean... that if I see a funky domain with invalid whois info, and I ue that form to submit, and the owner still doesn't change, the name will drop unexpectedly, and I can take it? :D ?

Yes.
In theory.

I tried that with some netsol names a while ago that had OVBIOUS bogus details like cities that dont exist, netsol placeholder admin emails, 0000 phone and more.
All premium .com names, like 4 or 5.

Reported them to internic and netsol.
Nuffin happened.
Talked to a high level guy at netsol.Got answers like "what is that your business" and worse.It was VERY clear at that moment Netsol did *NOT* want to delete those names for some reason.Called em up several times during the following months, as still nothing happened and insisted on the deletion.
No change for like 2 other months.
Then suddenly from one day to another on all reported names the whois had changed and they *all* had an expiry date of 2007 or even 2011 now whereas before they all had different expiry dates like 2003,2004 etc.

I just figured something very fishy had going on (prolly either VS selling those names under the table or the employee variation) but that i would never be able to prove it and that VS does what they want anyway so i gave up.

That seems very odd.
But it's NSI so no shock value.
I wouldn't be non-plussed to discover that NSI was run by MIB

:laugh:

I have to say that if you would have asked me 2 years ago I would have given NetSol an F, but now I would give them a C-. I think they have made some improvements.
 
Yes before they answered my questions incorrectly via email within a month.
Now they still answer my questions incorrectly but it only takes a few minutes.
