Private Domain Registration Policies

nate · 2009-05-07, 10:39 PM

About 2 weeks after registering a domain with the words "chan" and "sluts" in it, I started getting really weird calls with no referring phone numbers. Probably skype. I blocked them all, so now, no referring number, no ringy.

I'm of the belief that pranksters from the internet hate machine thought they were going to fuck with my mind. Before I blocked them I'd set the phone down next to a speaker and fire up apocolypse now in VLC. Naturally this was all on speaker phone, and one of the drunk chicks called me every name in the book fpr a solid 10 minutes. Too bad she didnt know I already knew I was all the things she called me and a lot worse. Another one was a long string of arnold shwartzeneger movie quotes. Hilarity at it's finest, but answering the phone just to play with the kids got annoying after a while.

I appreciate the responses. My intent is to remove that particular domain from the domains by proxy listing and just set up a business address to use for the account.

I truly hate the thought of my public information being available for anyone in the world to see, though I can understand the need for such disclosure to recipient websites.

Regards,

Midnight

I've been doing this since early '02 with open and honest WHOIS. I've NEVER received a phone call, not even an email, from anyone looking for trouble. I've received calls from SEO morons, but that's about it.
