Also sometimes you'll have spammers who are putting in gibberish or funny punctuation and you'll get sentences like 'blah blah.So this is'. It also occurs with a couple of other domains but .so is by far the worst. For more info on the .so domain you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.so_%28domain_name%29 ------------ To which I replied: After reading the Wikipedia entries for the TLDs that they list as unused, I would be in favor of removing all of them bv gb pm sj so um yt If spammers can't use them as domains, then all including them could do would be to generate false positives. The three listed as "phaseout", su tp yu, on the other hand, I would keep, because it appears from the Wikipedia articles that they are in active use either during a transition period or because their phaseout is being resisted. If we can reach consensus on this, I'll make the changes to the code I committed. --------------------- And then Justin Mason said: I'm happy enough with that. btw this discussion should be on a bug... ----------------- And here we are ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
