TagNames suspended.

[foz]

I notice a lot of TagNames are suspended and from today should drop.

What are the odds that they will. From past experiences I'm not holding my breath.

Why is Nominet so lenient?

 

[aZooZa]

I think they are on a 1-day auto-renew or something. They won't drop as you say.

 

[Skinner]

There are tag names from weeks ago that should have dropped already.

They never go, strictlydancing.co.uk for example due to drop 2-3 weeks ago.

When you're a top 30 registrar with over 21,000 names in your account, why shouldn't you be entitled to a bit of special treatment?

I'd be expecting at least a Turkey every Christmas, and maybe even a Nominet Easter egg.

I heard all the cricket balls were fitted with covert listening devices. You don't have yours on your desk do you!?

Bet it would feel good whacking that particular ball to the boundary.

Maybe because part of Nominet's mission statement is:

Ensuring consistency and fairness in the registration and transfer of domain names

Has anyone raised this issue with Nom?

Has anyone raised this issue with Nom?

Many times, and Nominet have always replied that there is no issue

Domains on my TAG seem to follow the documented process though - strange really if we are all equal! I just filter out names on this TAG from my list as it's not worth the time & effort of checking.

Same here!

Tagnames isn't a special case. As I recall this is a Nominet nicety that's pretty simple to take advantage of, although I don't remember how off-hand (and wouldn't write up here anyway).

It seems as though Tagnames just doesn't like to pay their bills, bless 'em :mrgreen:
