@Admin how about reinstating domainlore?

I don't understand the logic behind this decision in the first place. You run a forum for members, I fully respect the fact that its admin investment but members makes forums what it is. Admin may have issues with Domainlore but its wrong to take away something your members have relies on just like that.

Just my penny worth statement, now back to TAG/DAC/EPP/dropped/Still dropping/Caught/.

Another connection to SHALL. that is using the TAG "Fluid"
THE FLUIDCONNECTIONS COMPANY which caught UPR.uk today

https://companycheck.co.uk/company/03660343/THE-FLUIDCONNECTIONS-COMPANY-UK-LTD/companies-house-data

EDIT: Ignore this. There are two Stephen Halls...

 

[lazarus]

Thats just the 5 or 6 that we know about ...How many more does SHALL have!

Is he a member on here?

I don't see how Nominet can ever fully stop it.. But people are clearing taking the piss with 10+ accounts

That is just a coincidence, the two stephen's are not the same people.

FLUID is my tag, I've been a domainer and known on here since 2005. I used to have the BACKORDER tag over 10 years ago.

I'm sure their date of birth on companies house will confirm they are not the same people being discussed in this thread.

 

[Siusaidh]

The DoB are indeed different.

 

[Fred Steven]

Here is another one

SAOWAPAN Saowapan Kongpia t/a Saowapan Kongpia

LSWR London Sash Window Repairs Ltd t/a LSWR LTD

Owner of London Sash Windows is Christopher Gould : https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/10780883/officers

 

[Jordan]

That’s interesting.

In what way is it interesting?

You've both jumped to conclusions and posted accusations about my company being involved without even checking basic facts.

 

[Hay]

@Whois-Search - Thanks, I needed a spam template haha!

 

[Murray]

I don't think we need to delve into peoples history if it's not relating to catching and proving working relationships which go against Nominets connected persons rule

 

[Hay]

These two people were Louise Murray and Mark Waller.

Both of which have created nominet accounts!

 

[Siusaidh]

Murray, thank you for your point. I have edited out one section, because you made me think.

With regard to the company side of things, I hoped it might flag up further info, which 'Marshall' seems to have done.

Tags?

Denys has dropped some knowledge https://blog.domainlore.uk/Bulgarian_TAGs_and_Nominet_policies/

I knew DOTSENSAI was dodgy and my thoughts were warranted

Did you see in the comments their reply on why none of it is 'dodgy'?

Interested in knowing peoples opinions of his answers.

 

[Siusaidh]

The PDF of the complaint Denys has sent to Nominet, embedded in his latest blog, is very very thought-provoking.

I do recommend anyone concerned about due process reads it (many of you may have already).

 

[Whois-Search]

VALRON EOOD [Tag = VALRON]
Safari Ventures Ltd [Tag = SAFVENTURES]

That VALRON FOOD is a company in Bulgeria:

https://www.infobel.com/en/bulgaria/valron_eood/blagoevgrad/BG100568380/businessdetails.aspx

So we can add that to Kalin’s list.

The other company is owned by a guy in Bristol:

He does SEO for RhinoCarHire.com:

I won't comment on Denys recent post, but I will quote his last comment.

Is Nominet doing all this on purpose? Wouldn’t it be a good way to end the catching industry by letting it implode from within by the unscrupulous greed and fraud, which Nominet seems authorizing to happen?

 

[Siusaidh]

I'm not going to say Nominet are doing this on purpose, but we all know that they are reviewing how do release dropping domains, and frankly this chaos will just demonstrate why they may feel the system has to be changed. I will be having some related phone conversations with individuals at Nominet this week, because all this feeds into what I have already been discussing with them.

This is no way to administer the UK's DNS, which is important to our national infrastructure and communities. As the saying goes:

"Death concentrates the mind."

 

[Hay]

After reading the domainlore thread: https://blog.domainlore.uk/Bulgarian_TAGs_and_Nominet_policies/ - IT appears Kalin from @Tool.Domains is more interested in marketing his businesses and snubbing the claims rather than discussing how he can resolve. - Diabolical!

 

[Whois-Search]

I have a slightly different conspiracy theory....

The ROR drop tiers and quotas focused minds back on dropcatching: https://3million.uk/open-letter/

Three things then happened at the same time:

1. People like Kalin, Rob and even Denys started to get more tags to compete (Kalin even applied for those Bulgarian tags just before the ROR drop). Nominet then brought in Photo ID checks because of all the Bulgarians applying to be members.

2. The secondary market brands of large registrars (SnapNames, Sedo, Godaddy) then wanted a bigger piece of the pie and got more quota during the ROR drop. The idea of drop lists was then discussed at Wotton House first at the Key Partners event and then at the Registrar Day.

3. Nominet then built the system for drop lists with the ROR drop. The drop list files even had a time stamp of 2pm on them. You can also go and download .london drop lists from Nominet with a time stamp for each domain now.

Then as that happened...

There were complaints made to the Nominet board about the DAC Flaws. Sean (Gill) has written about that on here.

So Nominet are simply now waiting to implement (3) above as soon as the consultation report is published (after the next board meeting):

https://www.nominet.uk/uk-domains/policies/2019-uk-policy-consultation/

Don’t be surprised if (2) eventually gets more EPP quota but at least the DAC will be made redundant from (1).
