Whois of (possible) submitters

I'm just checking (or in some cases re-checking = 2nd time) several applications for submitter passwords, and came to wonder what are red flag reasons for you guys?

1. fake whois - some even have a 'real' looking whois in some of their domains, and contact email at another adult domain - you look up that and find completely different info... Like the last one I checked: a proper sounding address in Dresden/Germany, email webmaster at c***pixs.com - which is registered to an address in Russia. The Dresden address is probably taken from a phone book, and the guy will be totally surprised if the police comes to raid his house for distributing illigal porn... Nice One!

2. Web server hosts ++ websites (replace ++ with any figure above 60) - makes me suspicious, too! Cheat today with one domain, get it blacklisted, use the next tomorrow kinda people... I can understand somebody having a number of domains, but over 50 on one server must mean most aren't overly active...

3. Use wellknown site(s) as reference, but I can't find anywhere a single listing with their domain name(s). (My form gives the option to enter 3 more domains apart from the ones used for sample URLs.)

I think I have to tighten the rules for password applications a little more
