George, your post is a clear indication of why more and more TGPs and link sites are going to private or closed submit systems - they really do want to know who they are dealing with. As I mentioned in another thread here, bogus, misleading, or incomplete whois info is a major MAJOR red flag, amoungst a list of other flags that I have. There is no reason to deal with someone who isn't in the mood to reveal themselves.
I have heard about 50 lame ass excuses on this (my favorite being "porn is illegal in my country"... to which I answer "so why should I help you break the law?"). many russian webmasters attempt to avoid getting knocked off of programs by getting PO boxes or mailing addresses in the US to remail their checks and such, but at the end of the day, they almost always reveal themselves in some other way. If they are that intent to try to get around the blockages, then they won't have a problem fucking me over right after.
If you are not comfortable with whois info, don't list the sites. There are plenty of good people out there submitting, you don't have to list just anyone.
