Yup, I put that rule up on findpics about 45 days ago or so. Too many off brand domains (especially .info ) being used as junk houses for the most painful collection of redirects and whatnot. Combined with the fact that you can get them for free, people were using them as disposible domains.
The free part only lasts for one year, and you can bet that they will get trashed when it comes time to pay.
Too many of them have VERY questionable whois records as well, PO boxes in the middle of the east river in New York, with email addresses that either go to hotmail or yahoo.
I got tired of looking at them, I got tired of constantly declining them, and I got tired of having them go 404 with a redirect days after listing.
I feel sorry for the few good people who have them. You suffer because the rest of the people around you are scammers.
Sorry!
.COM domains are $10 each (or less), and there are plent of domains around. Get a real domain, and get a business :-)
